Average car insurance costs for teens in Florida

On average, teen drivers in Florida pay $7,264 per year for coverage with limits of 100/300/100 – that’s $100,000 for one person’s injuries, $300,000 for all injuries in a single accident, and $100,000 for property damage – plus $500 deductibles for collision and comprehensive.

Teens face higher premiums than young adults or older drivers because they lack experience. Insurers see them as higher risk, which makes coverage more expensive.

Costs also vary depending on the coverage you choose, the type of car your teen drives, and your ZIP code. Families in Florida can often save by using good student discounts, enrolling teens in driver training programs, or adding them to an existing family policy instead of buying separate coverage.

Teen car insurance rates in Florida, by age

Rates change quickly as teens get older. For example, a full coverage policy for a 16-year-old in Florida averages $9,010 per year. At 19, the average falls again to $5,685.

Premiums are still higher than those for adult drivers, but the steady decline shows how experience behind the wheel helps bring costs down over time.

Teen car insurance in Florida, by gender

In most states, insurers can use gender when setting rates. California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania are the exceptions. In Florida, a 16-year-old male driver pays about $9,721 annually, while a female of the same age pays $8,288 – a difference of $1,433.

Crash statistics back up this difference. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that 3,048 teenagers ages 13-19 died in vehicle crashes in 2023, and two out of three were male. Because young men are more often involved in serious accidents, insurers factor that risk into premiums.

The table below shows average teen car insurance rates in Florida by gender.

AgeAverage annual premium for maleAverage annual premium for female
16$9,721$8,288

Minimum coverage requirements for teens in Florida

In Florida, teen drivers must meet the same minimum liability requirements as adults:

  • $10,000 for bodily injury liability per person
  • $20,000 for bodily injury liability per accident
  • $10,000 for property damage liability

These limits are designed as a baseline, but they may not be enough to cover serious accidents. Many families choose higher limits for more protection when adding a teen driver.

If the car is financed or leased, comprehensive and collision coverage are also required. These cover damage to your own car from accidents, theft, or weather.

Smart ways to save on car insurance for your teen

From choosing the right car to asking about discounts, taking a few smart steps can make coverage more affordable while keeping your teen safe on the road.

  • Estimate the cost of coverage. Look up what families typically pay for teen drivers in your state. Having that ballpark figure helps you budget ahead of time and spot whether the quotes you receive are higher or lower than average.
  • Buy a safer vehicle. A safe, reliable sedan will cost much less to insure than a flashy sports car or a luxury vehicle.
  • Buy a full coverage policy. Basic liability is cheaper, but many families choose higher coverage for teens to protect against the bigger risks of accidents, costly vehicle repairs, or injuries to others.
  • Ask about discounts. Many insurers offer savings if your teen gets good grades, takes a defensive driving course, or drives fewer miles.
  • Talk to your teen about the responsibility that comes with driving. Bring your teen into the insurance conversation so they see that driving isn’t just about freedom-it’s about responsibility. Talking openly about risks and safety can help them make better choices behind the wheel that could protect their life and others on the road.
  • Review your rates each year: As your teen gains experience and maintains a clean driving record, insurance costs often go down-making it worth checking your policy annually.

Helping your teen start off safely on the road

Adding your teen to your car insurance policy will raise your rates at first-but it won’t last forever. As they gain experience and prove themselves as safe drivers, premiums usually go down year by year.

You can ease the cost by comparing quotes, bundling policies, and asking about discounts. More importantly, insuring your teen isn’t just about following state rules. It’s about giving them a safe, confident start on the road while protecting your family financially.
