Personal Injury Protection Coverage
Since Florida is a “no-fault” state, they require drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection or (PIP) insurance.
PIP coverage will cover the costs of doctor bills or the loss of wages from not working.
As with other states, there are exceptions to the rule for PIP coverage.
If the number of damages or medical costs are exorbitant, the other party can bring the “at-fault” driver to court for the financial loss.
Best Insurers by Written Premiums, Rate Change, and Consumer Rating
To find the best insurers by consumer rating is pretty easy.
Included in the table below is the market share of each and the amount of written premiums.
Of course, top insurers, such as GEICO, State Farm, Progressive, and Allstate, will have more complaints.
This is to be expected, and you shouldn’t be alarmed.
Included is the approximate rate change over an 18 month period.
This is normal for most insurers.
With the table, you can find the carriers which have the best consumer rating.
Typically the larger carriers will have a better consumer rating.
However, if you are going for price only, at times, you can find a lower premium with companies such as Florida Farm Bureau, Bristol West, or Infinity Auto.

Uninsured Motorist Protection
Florida has a high uninsured motorist rate.
It would be a good idea to consider uninsured motorist coverage in the unlikely event you are in an accident with a driver who does not have adequate coverage to cover expenses.
Note: A 35-year-old driver should find quotes clustering around $1,000 to $1,100 per year. When I queried for quotes, the Florida Farm Bureau, USAA, and Travelers’ overall cheapest carriers, I queried each at $978, $995, and $1,032 per year, approximately 31 to 36% lower than the median quote.
Florida is another state with an extremely high amount of uninsured drivers in cities with a high population such as Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and Pensacola.
Not only state residents but also those who travel to the state.
Note: A 40-year-old driver can find the best options with Farm Bureau, State Farm, and Auto-Owners. I queried each at $812, $838, and $837 respectfully per year, which is over 30% lower than the median quote for similar age drivers.
Comprehensive & Collision Coverage
Comprehensive and collision cover is recommended by the state, particularly if you have a newer vehicle.
Comprehensive is going to protect your vehicle in all “non-collision” types of accidents.
Comprehensive is also known as “non-collision” coverage.
Collision coverage will protect the vehicle if you have an accident with a road sign or another non-vehicular object.
Note: A 45-year-old driver with a decent driving record should be able to get quotes below $700. The least expensive insurers are Travelers, Farm Bureau, and State Farm. I queried each at $649, $654, and $666 per year for full coverage. Or nearly 30% lower than the average premium.
Average Premium Rate Hike for a DUI
I decided to put statistics and data for a DUI.
If you want to keep your premium as low as possible, do not get a DUI in Florida.
The prevalence of DUI’s in the state is higher than the national average.
The average cost is approximately $8,000 and adds $6,500 to your annual premium for the next three years.
Annual DUI Arrests | DUI Legal Limit | Average DUI Cost | Average Premium Rate Hike | |
---|---|---|---|---|
FL | 59,752 | 0.08% | $8,000 | $6,500 |
US Avg | 22,716 | 0.08% | $6,000 | $4,500 |
If you are traveling to Florida, you would want to tell your insurance company since many drivers go to the state via their own car.
You may want to consult with your insurance broker to be sure you are adequately protected.
Note: An older driver can find low quotes with Florida Farm Bureau, State Farm, and Auto-Owners. All three carriers are nearly 39% lower than the average premium for 55-year-old drivers.
Average Premium Rate by City
Below is a table list of the average quote by the city.
The average insurance premium in Florida is approximately $1,200 per year.
Included in the table is the percentage amount above or below the average premium.
One thing you will notice is the big variance in premium cost from city to city.
If perhaps, you move, you may see an increase (or decrease) in your premium.
Your location will make a significant impact on your auto premium in Florida.
