FAQs
Other situations we match drivers for
If your situation isn't listed, run a quote anyway. Every FL driver gets at least 5 carrier options.
SR-22 Insurance
Florida actually uses an FR-44 (not SR-22) for most major violations — it requires 100/300/50 liability limits, much higher than the FL minimum. We match you with carriers that file both quickly and at the lowest possible rate.
Learn moreCar Insurance After a DUI
FL requires an FR-44 (not SR-22) after a DUI — with 100/300/50 minimum liability. Standard carriers often non-renew. Carriers like Direct Auto, The General, Bristol West, and Dairyland specialize in FR-44 filings.
Learn moreInsurance for Drivers With Lapsed Coverage
FL is strict on lapses — even one day uninsured can trigger registration suspension and a reinstatement fee ($150–$500). Some FL carriers (Mercury, Direct Auto, The General) don't penalize prior lapses; others surcharge 20–40%.
Learn moreInsurance With a Suspended License
FL DHSMV won't reinstate your license without proof of FL-compliant insurance (and often an SR-22 / FR-44). Non-owner policies are usually the cheapest path if you don't currently own the vehicle.
Learn moreInsurance With Tickets or Points on Your Record
FL uses a 12-point suspension threshold (FL Statute 322.27). Each ticket adds 3–6 points and 30–80% to your premium for 3 years. Non-standard carriers often beat your renewal once you have any ticket.
Learn moreLow-Income Car Insurance in Florida
Florida has no equivalent to California's CLCA program — but FL minimum liability is just $10K PIP / $10K PDL (one of the cheapest minimums in the US). Liability-only quotes for older paid-off vehicles routinely start under $80/mo.
Learn moreNo Down Payment Car Insurance
True $0-down policies are rare — but several FL carriers (The General, Direct Auto, Acceptance) offer first-month-only payments as low as $20–$50 to bind the policy.
Learn moreMonthly-Pay Car Insurance
Most FL carriers default to 6-month policies with payment plans (still really one premium split into installments). True monthly-pay carriers (Direct Auto, The General, Mercury) let you cancel any month penalty-free.
Learn moreCar Insurance Without an SSN (ITIN / Foreign License)
Florida law (FL Statute 627.7415) does not require an SSN to buy auto insurance. Several major FL non-standard carriers (Direct Auto, Bristol West, Infinity, GAINSCO) write policies on ITIN, foreign licenses, or matrícula consular only.
