Cheapest Car Insurance for High-Risk Drivers in Florida

Violations on your driving record or a poor credit-based insurance score can put you in a high-risk category and increase your auto coverage rates significantly.

MarketWatch Guides Tip:

Violations, accidents and other blemishes on your driving history will likely increase the cost of your car insurance coverage — but not forever. In Florida, minor violations such as speeding tickets typically stop being factors within five years. A DUI conviction in Florida stays on your driving record (and criminal history) permanently, but a premium surcharge typically lasts about 10 years.

  • Florida has several areas in the “very high” risk category for natural disasters, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency Expected Annual Loss report.
  • Every year, the risk of damages from natural disasters in Florida has increased. Between 1980 and 2024, the state has had $93 billion worth of disasters — totaling over $380 billion in costs. This makes Florida the state with the second most billion-dollar natural disasters behind Texas.
