Auto Insurance FAQs in Miami, FL

Florida law requires all drivers to carry at least:

• Personal injury protection (PIP), which covers your medical expenses and lost wages after an accident, regardless of fault
• Property damage liability (PDL), which can help pay for damage you cause to someone else’s property while operating your vehicle.

These minimums may not be sufficient in case of serious damage. Our team can help you understand what additional coverage may be right for your situation.

Auto insurance policies do not automatically cover hurricane or flood damage. To insure your vehicle against these risks, you’ll need comprehensive coverage. This helps pay for repairs or replacement if your car is damaged by natural disasters, fire, theft or other covered noncollision events.

Your personal auto policy may not cover you if you’re driving for commercial purposes, such as working for a rideshare company. Many insurers offer rideshare endorsements or specific rideshare insurance to fill this gap.

Adding a teen driver to your policy can increase your premium, but it’s essential for financial protection. We recommend discussing options for discounts, such as good student or safe driver programs and reviewing your policy limits.

Full coverage, which typically includes bodily injury, comprehensive and collision coverage, can offer greater financial protection. While not legally necessary, some lenders may require these coverages if you finance your vehicle.
