Your situation
What changes, what to do, and what to have ready. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Moving to Florida: car insurance for new residents
Once you become a Florida resident, you have 10 days to register your car here, and you need a Florida policy with $10,000 PIP and $10,000 property damage before you can.
Just bought a car: insurance before you drive off the lot
You need proof of insurance before the dealer hands you the keys.
Insurance for a leased or financed car
If your car is financed or leased, the lender requires comprehensive and collision, usually with a maximum deductible, and leases often require higher liability limits than Florida does.
Adding a teen driver in Florida
Adding a teen driver raises a family policy’s price more than almost anything else, so it is the best moment to re-shop.
Car insurance after an accident or ticket
An at-fault crash or a moving ticket usually raises your price at renewal, and carriers look back three to five years.
Car insurance after a DUI in Florida
After a DUI conviction, Florida requires an FR-44 filing proving 100/300/50 liability, usually for three years.
My car insurance lapsed in Florida
Florida insurers report cancellations to the state, so a lapse can suspend your license and registration until you show new coverage and pay a reinstatement fee.
Insurance for rideshare and delivery drivers
If you drive for Uber, Lyft or a delivery app, your personal policy likely excludes it.
Car insurance for seniors in Florida
Florida drivers 55 and older can get a discount for completing a state-approved mature driver course, and it lasts three years.
First US car insurance policy or a foreign license
You can insure a car in Florida with a foreign or international license, and some carriers price it much better than others.
