The law in Florida says drivers must have the following types of auto insurance:
Proof of personal injury protection (PIP) and property damage liability (PDL) coverage from an insurance company licensed to sell insurance in Florida
A minimum of $10,000 in PIP and a minimum of $10,000 in PDL. Florida is the only state that doesn’t require bodily injury liability coverage (BIL) but does require personal injury protection (PIP). In addition, the state doesn’t require drivers to purchase uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage but requires car insurance companies to offer the coverage to you.
Continuous coverage even if the vehicle is inoperable or isn’t being driven
Vehicles registered as taxis must carry bodily injury liability (BIL) coverage of $125,000 per person, $250,000 per occurrence and $50,000 for (PDL) coverage.
Florida allows qualified drivers to self-insure. To qualify for self-insurance, drivers must provide yearly proof of an unencumbered net worth of $40,000 or more.
The state of Florida is a no-fault state. No-fault means that your car insurance company will pay for your medical bills whether you caused an accident or not. Additionally, in no-fault states like Florida, an injured party cannot sue you for medical bills resulting from an accident you caused.
Car insurance is expensive in Miami, but there are ways to find savings:
Ask about discounts: Many car insurance companies offer discounts for bundling policies, having more than one insured vehicle, and organization or military-affiliated discounts to active duty members and their families
Follow the speed limit and don’t drive while intoxicated: Driving history is one of the biggest factors when it comes to car insurance rates. So obey the speed limit laws and don’t drink and drive
Shop around: Compare online quotes to make sure you’re getting the best rates
According to our research, GEICO has the least expensive rates in the city, with average rates at $1,598 per year for full coverage.
Florida requires drivers to have $10,000 worth of personal damage liability (PDL) coverage. PDL covers the cost of repairs and damage you caused to another vehicle or property.
Young drivers pay more for car insurance because they are less experienced and more likely to exhibit risky behavior like speeding and erratic driving, resulting in more accidents.
