What affects your car insurance rate in Florida?

  • Your car’s make, model, year and trim
  • Your location within Florida
  • Your coverage level
  • Your driving history, credit score and vehicle storage

Does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in Florida?

A vehicle’s make and model can significantly impact car insurance rates. ‘Make’ refers to the brand and ‘model’ refers to the specific model you drive. For example, Honda (make) Accord (model).

Insurers price based on how much a vehicle costs to repair or replace, how often that model is involved in claims, and how frequently it’s stolen. Two vehicles at the same price point can carry meaningfully different premiums.

For example, full coverage for a Honda Accord LX costs $3,562 per year in Florida, while the average premium for a Honda CR-V is $3,013 – a difference of $549.

Popular cars aren’t always cheaper to insure

High theft rates or expensive repair costs can push premiums up on common models. Check insurance costs before you buy, not after.

Does your car’s model year affect insurance rates in Florida?

Newer cars generally cost more to insure because they are more expensive to repair or replace.

In Florida, insuring a 2024 Honda Accord LX costs $3,775, while the 2025 version costs $3,613.

However, older vehicles aren’t always cheaper – lack of safety features or costly parts can keep premiums high.

Check your state’s minimum coverage requirements

Florida’s insurance laws differ from most states. Drivers aren’t required to carry bodily injury liability coverage. Instead, Florida law requires $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 in property damage liability (PDL) to legally get behind the wheel.

According to III (Insurance Information Institute), state-required minimums are usually not able to cover the costs of a serious crash, so it’s important to consider higher levels of coverage for financial protection (III, n.d.). Not carrying the required coverage in Florida can lead to fines, license suspension and even vehicle impoundment.

Auto insurance premiums vary significantly from city to city, so drivers need to be sure they’re getting the best deal. Insure.com has done the research for you. Get more information on auto insurance rates by city below.

How does your car’s trim affect insurance rates in Florida?

Insurance rates often vary based on your car’s trim. Trim refers to the specific version of a model with different features, equipment, or engine options, such as LX, EX, or Sport.

Companies consider the vehicle’s value, cost of repairs, safety equipment and theft risk. Premium trims with upgraded technology or more powerful engines usually mean higher premiums due to their higher replacement and repair costs.

For example, in Florida, full coverage car insurance for a 2024 Honda Accord LX costs $3,775 a year, while the higher-end Accord EX-L trim costs $3,717 annually – a difference of $58 per year.

Luxury features like high-end sound systems or advanced infotainment can increase insurance rates, since they add to the car’s value. Similarly, performance trims with larger engines often increase premiums due to a greater risk of accidents or speeding.

That upgrade can cost more than you think

Moving to a higher trim level can raise your insurance premium due to increased vehicle value and repair costs – not just the sticker price. Before choosing a trim, it’s worth getting a quote on each option to see how the price difference carries over to your insurance.

How do car insurance rates vary by city in Florida?

Your location within Florida can impact your premium just as much as your coverage level.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average cost of car insurance in Florida?

The average cost of full coverage car insurance in Florida is $3,916 per year, or $326 per month. Your actual rate will depend on your vehicle, coverage level, driving history and location within the state.

How can I lower my car insurance premium in Florida?

The most effective ways to lower your premium are comparing quotes from multiple carriers, increasing your deductible, bundling your auto policy with home or renters insurance, maintaining a clean driving record, and choosing a vehicle that costs less to insure. Discounts for safe driving, good grades or low annual mileage can also add up.

Does my credit score affect car insurance rates in Florida?
