Drunk driving insurance in Florida is an FR-44
Most states use an SR-22 for every serious violation. Florida is different: a DUI or a driving-under-the-influence conviction triggers the FR-44, which carries much higher liability limits than an SR-22 at the same address.
- Florida standard minimum: 10/20/10 — PIP and PDL only
- Florida FR-44 after a DUI: 100/300/50 bodily injury and property damage
- Filing term: three continuous years from reinstatement
Why DUI quotes vary so much
Many standard insurers decline a DUI record outright. The carriers that do write it price the surcharge very differently, so the same driver can see hundreds of dollars of spread on an identical FR-44 policy. Comparing specialist carriers is the whole game.
Getting your license back
Once the policy is issued we transmit the FR-44 electronically, so the DHSMV sees it without you carrying paperwork to an office. See the full Florida FR-44 requirements or check Florida hardship license rules if you need to drive before reinstatement.
