What Car Insurance Does Florida Require?
Florida is a no-fault state โ meaning your own insurance covers your medical bills after an accident, regardless of who caused it. Here's what's required by law vs. what's recommended.
| Coverage Type | Minimum Required | Recommended | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal Injury Protection (PIP) | $10,000 | $10,000 | Required |
| Property Damage Liability (PDL) | $10,000 | $100,000+ | Required |
| Bodily Injury Liability (BIL) | Not required | $100,000/$300,000 | Strongly Recommended |
| Uninsured Motorist (UM) | Not required | Match your BIL limits | Strongly Recommended |
| Collision Coverage | Not required | Required if financing | Optional |
| Comprehensive Coverage | Not required | Required if financing | Optional |
โ ๏ธ Important: About 1 in 5 Florida drivers is uninsured. Without Bodily Injury Liability and Uninsured Motorist coverage, you could be personally responsible for another driver's medical costs even if they caused the accident.

Why Is Florida Car Insurance So Expensive?
Florida consistently ranks among the most expensive states for car insurance. Several factors drive up rates:
High Uninsured Driver Rate
~20% of Florida drivers carry no insurance, increasing risk for everyone on the road.
Hurricane & Storm Exposure
Comprehensive claims from hurricanes, flooding, and hail are frequent and costly in Florida.
Dense Traffic & High Accident Rate
Florida sees roughly 400,000+ car accidents per year, driving liability claims higher.
Historic Insurance Fraud
Staged accidents and fraudulent claims historically cost Florida insurers billions โ though 2023 tort reforms are helping reduce this.
Rates Are Finally Coming Down
Thanks to 2023 tort reform legislation signed by Governor DeSantis, Florida's insurance market is stabilizing. Florida's top auto carriers are showing an average -6.5% rate change for 2025 โ the first meaningful relief in years.
