What are the Florida FR44 Insurance limits?
When you are required by the state of Florida to have FR44 insurance due to driving under the influence (DUI), driving with a suspended license, or for any court order you must carry the highest liability insurance limits. The state of Florida passed the legislation for the new FR44 form certificate of financial responsibility in 2008. The purpose of these higher limits is to protect the other drivers in the state of Florida and penalize the DUI convicted drivers.
The Florida FR44 Insurnace limits are 100/300/50:
• Coverage of $100,000 for bodily injury/death of one person
• Coverage of $300,000 for bodily injury/death of two or more persons
• Coverage of $50,000 for property damage
*It is important to remember the Florida FR44 Insurance limits are double the Florida SR-22 Insurance limits. If you are required by the state to carry FR44 insurance and you purchase SR22 insurance you will not be in compliance with the state to get your license reinstated.
How long will I need insurance with such high limits?
In most situations in the state of Florida, someone convicted of a DUI is required to carry FR44 insurance for three (3) consecutive years. It is EXTREMELY important that you keep this policy in place without letting it lapse or cancel. If the FR44 Insurance policy does lapse or cancel the state of Florida is notified automatically (SR26) by the insurance provider and your license is suspended immediately. When this unfortunate situation occurs you have to start your three consecutive years of carrying the FR44 insurance again.
How can I get my policy started?
