Average cost of car insurance in Melbourne, FL

Drivers in Melbourne, Florida, pay an average of $196 per month for full-coverage car insurance and $129 for state-minimum liability insurance. That’s higher than in nearby Cocoa but less than in Orlando. It’s also lower than the state average in Florida.

Melbourne’s car insurance rates are lower than those in other nearby cities, partly due to its lower population density. The city has about 1,900 residents per square mile. For comparison, Orlando has nearly 2,800 people per square mile.[1]

Cheapest Melbourne car insurance by coverage level

The cheapest full-coverage car insurance company in Melbourne is State Farm, with an average rate of $110 per month.

State Farm offers the cheapest liability coverage, at an average of $71 per month.

Florida requires drivers to have at least $10,000 of personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 of property damage liability coverage.[2] But Melbourne sits on the Atlantic coast, which is prone to hurricanes and tropical storms, so you may want to purchase full coverage for added protection. Full-coverage car insurance helps pay for repairs if severe weather damages your vehicle.

Below, you’ll find the cheapest companies for both liability-only and full-coverage insurance in Melbourne, Florida.

Average car insurance rates in other FL cities

Punta Gorda has some of the cheapest car insurance premiums in Florida, with monthly rates averaging $152. Miami Gardens is the priciest city for car insurance in the state, with rates averaging $267 per month.

Melbourne’s premiums fall between these two, though its rates tend to be on the lower end of coastal cities. Premiums in nearby West Palm Beach, for example, are significantly higher.

These lower premiums could be due to the city’s lower accident rates. Fewer than 8,400 accidents occurred in Brevard County in 2024, according to the Florida Department of Health.[3] Nearby Palm Beach County had more than 26,000.

The following table shows average car insurance rates across various Florida cities, according to Insurify data.

Tips for driving in Melbourne

Here are a few important things to know if you’re driving in Melbourne:

  • Prepare for congestion. Roads around the Melbourne Orlando International Airport can get busy, particularly during high-tourism seasons and the holidays.

  • Avoid high-traffic roads. Some Melbourne roads see as many as 35,000 vehicles per day. U.S. Highway 1 is one of the most-traveled roadways in the city. More cars on the road increase your risk of an accident.

  • Know local flood zones. Melbourne has flood zones throughout the city. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) considers areas along Crane Creek and the Atlantic coast to be Special Flood Hazard Areas.

For the most up-to-date information, you can follow the city’s traffic advisories website.

Car insurance quotes in Melbourne by driving record

Your driving record has a big effect on your car insurance premiums. Drivers with accidents, speeding tickets, or driving under the influence (DUI) convictions typically pay higher premiums than drivers with a clean record.

In Melbourne, more than 3% of drivers have a ticket, according to Insurify data. About 4% have an accident on their record.

Insurify data also shows that 1% of Melbourne drivers have a DUI on their record. Melbourne — and Florida in general — takes DUIs seriously. Penalties can range from $1,000 to $5,000 in fines and up to five years in prison.[4]

The table below shows how average rates vary for drivers with different records.

Driving Record
Average Monthly Quote
Clean driving record$163
Speeding ticket$189

Melbourne car insurance rates by age

Age also affects your car insurance premiums, with new drivers and teens paying higher rates than older, more experienced drivers.

Currently, 17% of Melbourne residents are younger than age 18, while more than 22% are age 65 or older, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That means a large number of Melbourne drivers have significant on-the-road experience, which could contribute to the city’s lower premiums.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 250 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.
