What State Farm costs Florida drivers by profile
Florida's legal minimum — $10,000 PIP and $10,000 property damage, with no required bodily-injury liability — is the lowest-protection baseline in the U.S. The cheap row in the table below is legal and, for most Florida drivers with assets, not enough. That is the real decision on a State Farm Florida quote.
| Driver profile | Modeled annual | Monthly | vs. baseline |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10K PIP + $10K PD (FL legal minimum) | $900 | $75 | -58% |
| Full coverage 100/300/100 · clean record | $2,150 | $179 | baseline |
| Full coverage · max Drive Safe & Save credit | $1,825 | $152 | -15% |
| Full coverage · one at-fault accident | $3,050 | $254 | +42% |
| Full coverage · teen driver added (Steer Clear) | $4,400 | $367 | +105% |
Modeling, not quotes. Each row applies a labeled editorial factor to this page's modeled Florida full-coverage baseline of $2,150/yr. Liability-only uses the NAIC countrywide liability vs. physical-damage written-premium split; surcharge and discount factors reflect the spread published in state rate guides. Your quote depends on ZIP, vehicle, mileage, and coverage selections.
PIP is required; BI liability is not
Florida requires $10,000 of personal injury protection and $10,000 of property damage liability. Bodily-injury liability is not mandatory for most drivers, which is why uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage carries more weight in Florida than almost anywhere else.
Hurricane season prices comprehensive
Comprehensive is the volatile half of a Florida premium. Review your comprehensive deductible before June 1 — flood and wind damage to a vehicle is a comprehensive claim, not a homeowners claim.
Roughly one in five drivers is uninsured
Florida runs one of the highest uninsured-driver rates in the country. Adding UM/UIM at your liability limits is usually a small line item next to the exposure it covers.
