Miami car insurance requirements
Florida drivers must carry certain coverage to meet state insurance requirements. Learn more from Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) and Kemper Auto's guide to car insurance in Florida, then consider whether additional coverage fits your needs. 

Let's look at each of these in detail: 
    Florida requires at least $10,000 in PIP coverage. PIP can help pay covered medical expenses after a crash regardless of who was at fault, subject to the terms and limits of the policy.
      Florida also requires at least $10,000 in PDL coverage. It can help pay for damage you cause to someone else's property in a covered accident, up to your policy limit.
      These requirements are only the starting point. Depending on your vehicle, finances and driving habits, you may want additional coverage. 
      Who needs personal car insurance in Miami? 

      Miami drivers have all kinds of routines. Some spend their mornings commuting downtown, while others drive between neighborhoods, school, work and family activities throughout Miami-Dade County.

      Personal car insurance may be appropriate for:

      • Daily commuters traveling on I-95, the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826), Dolphin Expressway (SR 836), Florida's Turnpike and other busy roads
      • Families with multiple household vehicles
      • College students who drive to school or work
      • New drivers building experience behind the wheel
      • Retirees who use their vehicles for errands and personal trips
      • Military members and their families

      From urban neighborhoods to suburban communities and less densely populated areas of Miami-Dade County, personal car insurance is generally intended for vehicles that are:

      • Owned or leased by an individual or family
      • Used to commute to work or school
      • Driven for errands, vacations and other personal activities
      • Shared with household members listed on the policy
      • Used for occasional personal trips throughout Florida and neighboring states 

      Optional car insurance coverages available

      Florida’s minimum coverage may not cover every expense after an accident, especially in a state with one of the nation’s highest rates of uninsured drivers, according to U.S. News & World Report.

      Depending on eligibility, your policy, and additional personal vehicle coverage, drivers may consider:

      • Bodily injury liability: Although bodily injury liability is not part of Florida's basic PIP and PDL requirements for most drivers, this coverage can help pay covered expenses when you are legally responsible for injuring another person in an accident.
      • Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverage: This coverage helps with covered expenses if you are hit by a driver by an at-fault who has no liability insurance or does not have enough coverage.
      • Collision coverage: Collision coverage helps pay to repair or replace your vehicle after a covered collision, subject to your deductible and policy terms.
      • Comprehensive coverage: Comprehensive coverage helps pay for covered non-collision damage, including certain losses involving theft, flooding or storm damage, which can be important considerations in South Florida.
      • Roadside assistance:  Roadside assistance helps pay for certain problems such as a flat tire, dead battery or breakdown.
      • Rental reimbursement: Rental reimbursement helps pay for eligible rental car expenses while your vehicle is being repaired after a covered loss. 

      Penalties

      Driving without Florida’s required insurance can lead to penalties that may affect your driving privileges and vehicle registration, including:

      • Driving privilege and license plate suspension: Up to three years
      • Reinstatement fees: Up to $500
      • SR-22 requirement: An SR-22 certificate may be required following reinstatement 
      SR-22 and FR-44 insurance in Miami

      An SR-22 or FR-44 are not a type of car insurance policy. They are certificates used to show the state that a driver carries required liability coverage after certain violations.

      Florida uses the FR-44 for qualifying DUI cases. The required liability limits are significantly higher: $100,000 for bodily injury or death of one person, $300,000 for bodily injury or death of two or more people in one crash and $50,000 for property damage. 

      An SR-22 may be required for other financial responsibility cases, depending on the violation and state requirements.

      Kemper Auto serves eligible drivers who may need an SR-22 or FR-44 filing. Eligible drivers may also be able to obtain personal vehicle insurance using certain non-standard forms of identification, including a foreign driver's license or matrícula consular.

      If your driving history makes finding personal car insurance coverage more challenging, talking with an agent can help you understand the options available to you.

      Car insurance rates can vary based on location, driving habits and other factors.
