Florida auto insurance minimum vs. recommended limits (100/300)

Florida lets you register a car with $10,000 PIP and $10,000 property-damage liability. Bodily injury is optional until you cause an injury crash. Recommended limits in Miami-Dade start at 100/300 for a reason: hospitals, lawyers, and $10,000 of PIP do not live in the same decade.

What the tax collector requires

PIP $10,000 and PD $10,000. That is the floor to put a plate on. It is not a liability program. If you hurt someone on US-1 with no bodily injury coverage, the claim can reach your house and savings. Afterward the state may demand financial-responsibility proof — the old 10/20 idea — under worse terms.

People call the floor “full coverage” because a lender required collision. Collision is your car. BI is other people. Different jobs.

Why 100/300 is the adult starting number here

$100,000 per person / $300,000 per accident bodily injury, with UM to match, is the Palmetto starting quote for households with assets or a mortgage. 250/500 plus an umbrella is the next step. The extra premium versus 10/20 is usually less than one car payment.

Property-damage $10,000 does not replace a new pickup. We quote $50,000 or $100,000 PD as well.

No-fault does not mean no lawsuit

Florida’s PIP threshold still allows injury claims when the facts qualify. A serious crash is not a PIP-only event. Defense costs sit on the liability grant. No BI means no duty to defend from that coverage.

Quote the limit you would want the other driver to have
