Florida Car Insurance Minimum Requirements
What Florida law requires you to carry, and what your insurer must offer you on top of it.
- Shorthand
- PIP $10,000 / PDL $10,000
Florida has no 25/50/25-style bodily injury requirement. A policy carrying at least $30,000 for combined property damage and bodily injury liability also satisfies the property damage rule.
- Bodily injury — per person
- Not required
Ordinary Florida drivers are not required to carry bodily injury liability coverage. It becomes mandatory only after a DUI conviction (§ 324.023) or as future proof of financial responsibility after a crash or an unsatisfied judgment under chapter 324.
- Bodily injury — per accident
- Not required
- Property damage
- $10,000
§ 324.022(1) requires the ability to respond in damages for $10,000 of property damage in any one crash.
- Uninsured / underinsured motorist
- Included unless rejected in writing
A policy that provides bodily injury liability coverage must include uninsured motorist coverage unless the named insured rejects it in writing on a form approved by the Office of Insurance Regulation (§ 627.727(1)).
- Personal injury protection (PIP)
- Mandatory
Florida is a no-fault state. Every owner or registrant of a vehicle registered here must keep personal injury protection security in force continuously throughout the registration period (§ 627.733(1)).
- PIP minimum limit
- $10,000
$10,000 in medical and disability benefits plus $5,000 in death benefits. Medical benefits are limited to $2,500 if a qualified provider determines there was no emergency medical condition (§ 627.736(1)).
What changed
March 13, 2026
PIP is still mandatory — the 2026 repeal bill died in committee
SB 522 (2026), which would have repealed the Florida Motor Vehicle No-Fault Law and replaced PIP with a bodily injury liability requirement, died in Banking and Insurance on March 13, 2026; the House companion HB 769 died the same day. This is the third failed attempt: SB 54 (2021) passed both chambers and was vetoed on June 29, 2021, and HB 1181 (2025) died in committee. Personal injury protection remains compulsory under s. 627.733.
