Florida Auto Insurance Quotes

Typical Monthly Cost

Most Florida drivers pay between $118 and $236 per month for auto insurance, depending on:

• Vehicle type: sedans and small SUVs often rate lower than high‑value or high‑performance vehicles.
• Driving history: tickets, accidents, and claims can increase your premium.
• Location: Miami, Orlando, and Tampa typically run higher than smaller cities and towns.
• Coverage limits: higher liability limits and full coverage cost more than basic state‑minimum policies.
• Discounts: safe‑driver, multi‑policy, homeowner, and telematics discounts can reduce your rate.
