A Look At Premiums Inside The Sunshine State

Did you know insurance premiums are based in part on where you live? That’s right. While your driving record, credit history and make, model and year of your vehicle are all important elements in determining your premium rates, where you live is also a significant factor.



When you type “car insurance Florida” into the search engine, you’re presented with an overwhelming amount of options. Luckily for you, you’ve landed on CoverHound, where’s it’s our priority to get you the most competitive insurance quotes on the market.



Let’s take a look at premiums inside the Sunshine State.



Florida’s Auto Insurance Laws

Florida requires its licensed vehicle driving motorists to carry two forms of insurance: Property Damage Liability (PDL) and Personal Injury Protection (PIP). According to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), Florida is a no-fault state. The Insurance Information Institute (III) defines no- fault insurance as an insurance plan that allows its carriers to regain financial losses from their insurance provider, regardless of who was at fault in an auto collision. So what is covered under Florida’s PDL and PIP insurance?




Property Damage Liability: This insurance type protects you when you have damaged another person’s property as the result of a car accident. This includes their vehicle, house or other buildings in the property. The minimum limits for PDL insurance is $10,000.



Personal Injury Protection: This insurance type covers income loss and medical expenses as the direct result of a car accident. Unlike other states, it also protects members of your household, passengers in your vehicle at the time of the accident and your child when they are riding the bus. It even protects you as a cyclist or pedestrian when and if you are involved in an accident with a vehicle. Like PDL insurance, the minimum limits for PIP insurance is $10,000.
