Florida minimum coverage: PIP state ($10,000 PDL)

Florida requires personal injury protection and property-damage liability on every registered vehicle. The legal floor:

Minimum coverage keeps you legal, not necessarily solvent: the average new truck costs more than $10,000 to replace, so one at-fault accident can outrun your property-damage limit.

No-fault state: only $10k PIP + $10k PDL required for registration; no BI liability mandate for most drivers (10/20 BI financial-responsibility applies after crashes/DUI).

Minimums cross-checked against Insurance Information Institute and state DOI sources, July 2026; see our methodology. Rules change; verify current minimums with your state's Department of Insurance.

Florida questions, answered

Why is car insurance in Florida expensive?

Rates in Florida run about 58% above the national average, at about $92/mo for liability and $316/mo for full coverage. Traffic density, weather claims, repair costs, and uninsured drivers all feed into local pricing, and comparing 3 or more quotes is the fastest way to come in under the state average.

What happens if I drive uninsured in Florida?

Penny read the statutes: fines, license and registration suspension, SR-22 filing requirements, and reinstatement fees, with exact amounts set by Florida law. Her math holds in all 50 states: a minimum-coverage policy costs less than the penalties. Verify specifics with the Florida Department of Insurance.
