Renewal Red Flags

7 Signs You're Overpaying for Auto Insurance

If any of these apply to you, a free renewal comparison is worth 15 minutes of your time.

1

Your premium increased more than 10% at renewal

Florida auto rates have risen sharply. A 10%+ increase is a strong signal to shop — competing carriers may offer the same coverage for less.

2

You haven't compared rates in more than 2 years

Loyalty doesn't pay in auto insurance. Carriers often offer their best rates to new customers, not long-term policyholders.

3

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.

4

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 significantly lower rates.

5

You added a teen driver and haven't shopped since

Teen driver surcharges vary enormously by carrier. Shopping at renewal can save $500–$1,500/year on the same coverage.

6

You're not bundling auto with home or renters insurance

Multi-policy discounts of 10–25% are common. If your auto and home are with different carriers, you're likely leaving money on the table.

7

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.

Auto Renewal — Common Questions

How often should I shop my auto insurance in Florida?

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.

Will shopping for auto insurance hurt my credit score?

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.

What is Florida's No-Fault insurance law?

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.

Can I get a discount for paying my premium in full?

Yes — most carriers offer a 5–15% discount for paying the full 6-month or annual premium upfront rather than monthly. If cash flow allows, this is one of the easiest ways to reduce your total cost.
