Florida — one of 12 no-fault states — requires all drivers to have a minimum amount of car insurance to get behind the wheel. Here’s what the Sunshine State requires:[9]
Personal injury protection (PIP): $10,000 minimum
Property damage liability: $10,000 minimum
Florida’s minimum coverage pays for your medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault, and the damage you cause to other people’s property.
Florida’s minimum coverage requirements are lower than in many states. Most experts recommend buying coverage above Florida’s minimum limits — unless you drive an older vehicle you’ve paid off or one you can afford to repair out of pocket.
The state minimums may not provide enough protection if you cause a serious accident with significant injuries or property damage. Basically, if you cause an accident with medical bills or damage above Florida’s $10,000 limits, you’ll be responsible for paying everything else out of your own pocket.
And don’t forget, you’re not off the hook for full coverage if you finance or lease your car — lenders require comprehensive and collision coverage to protect their investment in your vehicle.
