State Requirements

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

If you're injured as a pedestrian or cyclist, PIP still applies, which matters for active seniors in walkable Florida communities.

Property Damage Liability

This covers damage your vehicle causes to another person's property — their car, fence, or building.

Bodily Injury Liability

Florida is one of only two states that does not require bodily injury liability coverage, which pays for injuries you cause to others. If you cause a serious accident, the injured party can sue you directly for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering — and your home, savings, and retirement accounts are at risk.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

UM/UIM coverage protects you when an at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient limits to cover your injuries; since Florida doesn't require bodily injury coverage, even insured drivers may have no liability protection beyond property damage. For senior drivers, this coverage is particularly valuable because it often includes coverage for hit-and-run accidents and provides compensation when the at-fault driver's assets cannot satisfy a judgment.

Comprehensive and Collision Coverage

Comprehensive covers non-collision damage — hurricane debris, flooding (common in coastal Florida), theft, vandalism, and animal strikes including the frequent Florida hazard of hitting wild boar or deer. Collision covers damage to your vehicle regardless of fault.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Credit-based insurance scoring is permitted in Florida and heavily influences rates; seniors with strong credit histories often qualify for better rates, while those who stopped using credit actively after retirement may see scores decline and rates increase
