We found the average cost for car insurance in Florida
NerdWallet’s editorial staff compared rates from six Florida car insurance companies to determine average rates for different age groups, driving records, credit histories, and company. We used a 2019 Toyota Camry L to analyze all driver profiles. The average cost of insurance by company, driving record, credit, and age was chosen for a driver who is 35 years old.
We looked at rates that meet the minimum Florida requirements for minimum coverage. We used the following coverage limits to ensure full coverage:
-
$100 bodily injury liability per individual.
-
$300,000.00 bodily injury liability per accident.
-
$50,000 property loss liability per accident.
-
$100,000 coverage for uninsured motorists per person.
