How a DUI affects car insurance rates in Florida

A DUI conviction in Florida raises car insurance premiums by an average of 31%. Several factors influence your rate, including:

  • Blood alcohol content (BAC) level: Florida’s BAC limit is 0.08%. If your BAC was 0.15% or higher at the time of arrest, you’ll face steeper penalties.

  • Prior offenses: Your rate increase may be more substantial if you have a previous DUI. Three DUIs within 10 years is a third-degree felony under Florida law, which could lead to higher premiums or non-renewal.

  • Age: Many accidents involve drivers younger than 25 and older than 65, according to the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS).[2] Insurers use age as a rating factor, so a DUI may increase rates more for these age groups.

  • Coverage levels: After a DUI in Florida, you’ll need an FR-44 filing, which requires higher liability limits than the state minimum. More coverage typically means higher insurance rates.

The following chart shows average liability rates with and without a DUI.

The below rates in Florida are estimated rates current as of: Sunday, June 7 at 5:00 PM PDT.

How to get car insurance after a DUI in Florida

Getting auto insurance after a DUI in Florida can be more challenging than buying a standard policy. Follow these steps to get car insurance after a DUI in Florida:

  1. Check your license reinstatement requirements. After a first-time DUI conviction in Florida, the state will automatically suspend your driver’s license for six months to one year. To reinstate your driving privileges, you’ll have to pass all required exams and pay reinstatement fees between $150 and $500.

  2. File an FR-44 form. Florida requires an FR-44 after a DUI, not SR-22 insurance like most states. Your insurer files this form with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) on your behalf, proving you carry state-required liability insurance. You must maintain continuous coverage for three years after reinstatement.

  3. Consider high-risk insurers. Non-standard insurers specialize in covering drivers with a DUI on their record. If you don’t own a vehicle, ask your insurer about whether a non-owner policy can meet Florida’s FR-44 requirements.

  4. Adjust your insurance coverage. Once you meet your FR-44 requirements, consider raising your comprehensive and collision deductibles or adjusting your coverage levels to help lower your insurance costs.

DUI laws in Florida

Florida defines driving under the influence as operating a vehicle with a BAC of 0.08% or higher.[3] A DUI attorney can explain your rights, and many offer a free consultation.

Florida’s DUI penalties

The state of Florida takes drunk driving seriously, with DUI penalties increasing for repeat offenses:

  • First offense: Carries a fine of $500–$1,000 and up to six months in jail. A BAC of 0.15% or higher raises the fine to $1,000–$2,000 and imprisonment of up to nine months, plus a mandatory ignition interlock device for at least six months.

  • Second offense: Requires a fine of $1,000–$2,000, up to nine months in jail, and a mandatory ignition interlock device for at least one year.

  • Third offense within 10 years: Includes fines of at least $4,000 for a BAC of 0.15% or higher and a third-degree felony designation under Florida law.

How long a DUI stays on your record in Florida

Florida maintains DUI convictions on your driving record for 75 years, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).[4] Although insurers typically look back only a few years when reviewing your driving record and calculating your rates, the conviction itself stays on your driving history much longer.

Florida FR-44 requirements

Florida car insurance laws require an FR-44 certificate after a DUI charge. Your insurer files the FR-44 with the FLHSMV, proving your coverage of $100,000 in bodily injury liability per person, $300,000 per accident, and $50,000 for property damage liability (PDL).

You must maintain FR-44 coverage for three years from your license reinstatement date.

Minimum car insurance requirements in FL after a DUI

Because Florida is a no-fault state, all drivers must meet the state’s minimum car insurance requirements, including $10,000 in personal injury protection and $10,000 in PDL.

After a DUI, though, you’ll also have to carry liability insurance with the following limits:

  • $100,000 per person in bodily injury

  • $300,000 per accident in bodily injury

  • $50,000 in PDL

Under Florida’s FR-44 financial responsibility requirement, you must maintain these higher limits for three years after the state reinstates your license.

How long a DUI remains on your driving record depends on your state’s laws and varies significantly across the country. In Florida, convictions stay on your record for 75 years.

If you have repeat DUI offenses within five to 10 years, you’ll face more serious consequences under Florida law. You’ll lose your license permanently after a fourth conviction, no matter the timing.

How to lower DUI insurance costs in Florida

A premium increase after a DUI is unavoidable, but you can take action to limit how much it affects your insurance costs.

  • Compare quotes from multiple insurers. Florida ranks third nationally for property and casualty premiums written, according to the NAIC, so you have plenty of insurance options across the state. Rates for high-risk drivers vary significantly between insurers, so comparing quotes from multiple companies can help you find the best rate.

  • Take a defensive driving course. Florida statutes require insurers to reduce premiums for senior drivers 55 and older who complete an FLHSMV-approved accident-prevention course. Even if you’re a younger driver, ask your insurer whether similar defensive-driving discounts are available.

  • Raise your deductibles. Higher deductibles typically lower your premium. The Florida DFS recommends weighing how much you’ll save monthly against what you could afford to pay out of pocket after a claim.

  • Consider dropping full coverage. More than two-thirds of Florida drivers own their vehicles, according to Insurify data. This means many don’t have a lender requiring collision and comprehensive coverage. The Florida DFS suggests considering whether full coverage is worth it for your vehicle.

  • Never let your coverage lapse. Florida requires drivers to maintain continuous coverage on any registered vehicle. Since a coverage lapse can cause the state to suspend your license for up to three years, finding insurance after a DUI can be even more difficult and expensive.

DUI car insurance in Florida FAQs

About 0.63% of Florida drivers have a DUI on their driving record, according to Insurify data. The information below can help you find affordable DUI car insurance while meeting Florida’s FR-44 requirements.

  • What is the cheapest car insurance company in Florida after a DUI?

    Progressive offers the cheapest car insurance rates in Florida for drivers with a DUI, averaging $101 per month for liability coverage. Rates can vary based on your age, driving record, and coverage levels.

  • How long will a DUI affect your car insurance premium in Florida?

    A DUI can affect your premium for years, but how long depends on the insurer. Your rates typically decrease over time when you maintain a clean driving record.

  • How much is DUI insurance in Florida?

    Florida drivers with a DUI pay an average of $178 per month for liability coverage and $306 per month for full coverage. Since rates vary by insurer, it’s a good idea to request quotes from several companies after a DUI to find the cheapest coverage.

  • What is FR-44 insurance, and who needs it in Florida?

    FR-44 insurance is a certificate of financial responsibility required for Florida drivers with a DUI conviction. It mandates higher liability limits than the state minimum — $100,000/$300,000 for bodily injury and $50,000 for property damage — for three years following license reinstatement.

  • Can you switch insurance companies while carrying an FR-44 in Florida?

    Yes. You can switch from your current insurer while carrying an FR-44, but your new insurer must file a new FR-44 certificate before your current policy ends. Any coverage gap can trigger an immediate license suspension.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 190 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:

  • Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
  • Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
  • No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
  • Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
  • Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible

Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
