What Florida requires you to carry

Florida requires $10,000 of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and $10,000 of property damage liability — it does not require bodily injury liability by default, since Florida is a no-fault state. PIP covers your own medical bills after an accident regardless of fault, up to policy limits that are well below the cost of a serious injury.

Driving without the required PIP and property damage coverage in Florida carries fines, license and registration suspension, and can require an SR-22 filing to reinstate driving privileges. A coverage lapse also tends to raise your next premium.

What moves a Florida premium most

·ZIP code and where the car sits overnight — the biggest single lever.
·Annual mileage, which most insurers weight heavily.
·Driving record over the last three years, especially at-fault claims.
·Continuous coverage history. Gaps cost more than most discounts save.
·Credit history, which factors into most insurers' models here.
