Your premium increased more than 10% at renewal
Florida auto rates have risen sharply. A significant increase is a signal to shop — competing carriers may offer the same coverage for less.
You haven't compared rates in more than 2 years
Loyalty doesn't always pay in auto insurance. Carriers often offer their best rates to new customers, not long-term policyholders.
You're paying for comprehensive on a vehicle worth under $4,000
If your car's value is close to your deductible, comprehensive and collision coverage may cost more than it's worth.
Your driving record has improved since your last policy
Tickets and accidents fall off your record after 3–5 years. If your record has cleared, you may qualify for lower rates.
You added a teen driver and haven't shopped since
Teen driver surcharges vary by carrier. Shopping at renewal can help you find a more competitive rate for the same coverage.
You're not bundling auto with home or renters insurance
Many carriers offer multi-policy discounts. If your auto and home are with different carriers, ask your agent to compare bundled options.
Your liability limits are still at Florida's state minimum
Florida's minimum ($10,000 PIP / $10,000 PDL) is among the lowest in the nation. A single accident can exceed these limits and expose your assets.
Compare your current limits against recommended minimums for Florida drivers.
| Coverage Type | Recommended | FL Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Bodily Injury Liability | $100,000/$300,000 | $0 (not required in FL) |
| Property Damage Liability | $100,000 | $10,000 |
| Personal Injury Protection (PIP) | $10,000 with full coverage | $10,000 |
| Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist | Match your BI limits | Optional |
| Comprehensive & Collision | If vehicle value > $10,000 | Optional |
| Roadside Assistance | Yes | Optional |
At every renewal — typically every 6 or 12 months. Florida rates change frequently due to litigation trends, weather events, and carrier pricing adjustments. Even if you're happy with your current carrier, a 15-minute comparison can confirm you're getting a fair rate.
Insurance quotes use a "soft pull" that does not affect your credit score. Multiple insurance quotes in a short window are treated as a single inquiry by credit bureaus.
Florida is a no-fault state, meaning your own PIP coverage pays your medical bills after an accident regardless of who was at fault — up to the $10,000 limit. This is why PIP is required in Florida, and why having adequate limits matters.
Many carriers offer a discount for paying the full 6-month or annual premium upfront rather than monthly. Ask your agent whether this option is available on your policy.
