Fort Lauderdale personal car insurance requirements
Before you hit I-95 or head across Broward County, your policy needs to meet Florida’s insurance requirements. According to Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), registered vehicle owners generally need the following coverage: 
    Florida requires at least $10,000 in PIP coverage. PIP can help pay covered medical expenses after an accident, regardless of who caused it.
      Florida requires at least $10,000 in PDL coverage. It may help pay for damage you cause to another person’s property in a covered accident.  
      Florida drivers are not generally required to carry Bodily Injury Liability as part of the state’s basic insurance requirements. However, adding this coverage may help with covered costs if you cause an accident that injures another person. Explore car insurance in Florida to learn more about available coverage. 
      Optional auto insurance coverages in Fort Lauderdale
      Your coverage choices can go beyond what Florida requires. As you explore auto insurance in Fort Lauderdale, consider which options make sense for your vehicle, family needs and budget.
      • Bodily injury liability: Helps cover another person’s medical expenses or injuries if you are responsible for a covered accident.
      • Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverage: Helps pay covered expenses if you are involved in an accident with an at-fault driver who has no insurance or not enough coverage. The Insurance Research Council estimated that 20.6% of Florida motorists were uninsured in 2023, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
      • Collision coverage: Helps pay for damage to your vehicle after a covered collision, subject to your policy terms and deductible.
      • Comprehensive coverage: Helps pay for certain non-collision losses, including theft and damage related to hurricanes or flooding, which can be important considerations in coastal South Florida.
      • Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage: Helps pay for eligible medical expenses for you or your passengers after a covered accident and is separate from Florida’s required PIP coverage.
      • Roadside assistance: Helps to pay for covered roadside situations such as towing, a dead battery or a flat tire.

      Kemper Auto also works with non-standard drivers, accepting certain IDs such as a matrícula consular and foreign or international driver’s licenses. Qualifying drivers who need an SR-22 or FR-44 can also get filing assistance.

      Frequently asked questions about personal car insurance in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

        It depends on the driver. InsuranceQuotes.com lists an average of about $386 per month for full coverage for its benchmark Fort Lauderdale driver. Your ZIP code, vehicle, driving record and coverage selections can all change your premium, so getting a personalized quote can give you a clearer idea of what fits your budget. 
          Reviewing available discounts, selecting deductibles that fit your budget and maintaining continuous coverage may help manage costs. You can also request a Kemper Auto quote online or talk with a local independent agent about available options. 
            Florida generally requires registered vehicle owners to carry at least $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection and $10,000 in Property Damage Liability coverage. 
              Bodily Injury Liability is generally not part of Florida’s basic PIP and PDL insurance requirements. However, it may help pay covered costs when you are responsible for an accident that injures another person, and additional financial responsibility requirements can apply in certain situations. 
                That depends on your driving record and the reason for the filing requirement. An FR-44 is generally required following certain DUI convictions and requires liability limits of $100,000 per person, $300,000 per accident and $50,000 for property damage. An SR-22 may be required after certain other serious driving or financial responsibility violations. Kemper Auto offers electronic filing services for qualifying drivers. 
                  Kemper Auto offers coverage options for drivers with different driving histories, including some drivers with accidents, tickets or prior coverage gaps. And having a poor driving record does not automatically mean you need an SR-22 or FR-44. These filings apply when they are specifically required following qualifying violations or circumstances. 
                    Kemper Auto accepts certain non-standard forms of identification, including a matrícula consular and foreign or international driver’s licenses. Eligibility and acceptable identification can vary, so contact a local independent Kemper Auto agent to discuss your situation.
