Florida rules that apply
Florida uses the SR-22. Your insurer files it electronically with the state; if the policy lapses, the insurer must notify the state, which can suspend your license again. Plan on keeping it for about 3 years. After certain DUI convictions Florida requires the FR-44 instead, with higher liability limits. SR-22 certifies 10/20/10 bodily injury liability; FR-44 certifies 100/300/50 after a DUI conviction. Both must be kept for three years.
Any policy you buy must meet Florida's minimum of $10,000 of personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 of property damage liability.
How to lower the cost
- Keep continuous coverage. A lapse, especially with an SR-22, restarts problems with the state and raises future prices.
- Compare several insurers — companies weigh violations very differently, and some specialize in high-risk drivers.
- Take a state-approved defensive-driving course where it earns a discount or removes points.
- Consider higher deductibles or liability-only coverage on an older car to offset the surcharge.
- Violations age off: most surcharges fade after three to five clean years.

Frequently asked questions
How much does SR-22 insurance cost in Jacksonville?
The SR-22 filing itself usually costs a small one-time fee; the real cost is the higher premium that follows the violation. We estimate about $2,000 a year for minimum coverage after a DUI in Jacksonville, and $1,575 after an at-fault accident.
How long do you need an SR-22 in Florida?
Typically about 3 years from the date required, but the court or DMV order sets the exact period. SR-22 certifies 10/20/10 bodily injury liability; FR-44 certifies 100/300/50 after a DUI conviction. Both must be kept for three years.
What is an FR-44?
Florida requires the FR-44 certificate after certain DUI convictions. It works like an SR-22 but proves higher liability limits.
Can I get SR-22 insurance without a car?
Yes. A non-owner policy with an SR-22 filing covers you when you drive borrowed or rented vehicles and satisfies the filing requirement in most states that use SR-22.
How we estimate this
We start from the state's average liability, collision and comprehensive premiums published by the NAIC, then apply a location factor (population density and commute time from the Census ACS, weather hazard scores from FEMA's National Risk Index), a vehicle factor (HLDI insurance-loss data where available, otherwise vehicle segment), and a driver-profile multiplier. Results are rounded ranges for comparison, not quotes. Read the full methodology.
