Understanding FR-44

What Is FR-44 Insurance in Florida?

FR-44 is a certificate of financial responsibility required by the State of Florida after a DUI conviction. It proves to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) that you carry higher-than-normal liability insurance.

Unlike standard auto insurance, FR-44 requires significantly higher coverage limits: $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $50,000 for property damage. These limits are 10x higher than Florida’s standard minimums.

Your insurance company files the FR-44 certificate electronically with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). Once filed and processed, you can begin the process of reinstating your driver’s license.

How It Works

Non-Owner FR-44 Insurance in Florida

If you need to reinstate your license after a DUI but don’t currently own a vehicle, you still need FR-44 insurance. A Non-Owner FR-44 policy provides the required coverage for any vehicle you might drive.

  • Meets all Florida FR-44 requirements (100/300/50)
  • Covers you when driving borrowed or rented vehicles
  • Typically less expensive than owner FR-44 policies
  • Maintains continuous coverage (prevents future rate hikes)
  • Filed electronically same-day

Why Non-Owner FR-44 Matters

Even if you don’t plan to drive, maintaining a non-owner FR-44 policy keeps you in compliance with Florida law and prevents gaps in your insurance history. When you eventually buy a car, you’ll avoid the rate increases that come with coverage lapses.

Important: If you plan to drive any vehicle—friend’s car, rental car, work vehicle—you need this coverage. Driving without it means driving illegally.

FAQ

FR-44 Insurance Questions

FR-44 is a certificate of financial responsibility required by Florida after a DUI conviction. It proves you carry higher-than-normal liability insurance: $100,000 per person / $300,000 per accident for bodily injury and $50,000 for property damage. Your insurance company files the FR-44 electronically with the Florida DHSMV. You must maintain FR-44 coverage for 3 years from your conviction date to keep your license.

FR-44 insurance in Florida costs an average of $2,000 to $5,000 per year, though rates vary significantly based on your driving history, age, location, and the carrier. This is roughly 40-50% higher than standard insurance, and some drivers see increases of 200-300%. Because rates vary widely between companies, comparing quotes from multiple carriers is the best way to find affordable FR-44 coverage.

You must maintain FR-44 insurance for 3 years from your DUI conviction date in Florida. The 3-year period starts from the date of conviction, not the date of arrest. If your policy lapses or is canceled during this period, your license will be automatically suspended and you’ll need to pay reinstatement fees to get it back.

FR-44 is required after DUI convictions and requires much higher liability limits (100/300/50). SR-22 is required for other violations like driving without insurance or too many points, and only requires Florida’s standard minimum limits. FR-44 is more expensive because of both the DUI on your record and the higher coverage requirements. Only Florida and Virginia use the FR-44 form.

If your FR-44 insurance lapses or is canceled, your insurance company is required to notify the Florida DHSMV, and your license will be automatically suspended. You’ll then need to pay reinstatement fees, get a new FR-44 policy, and have it filed with the state before you can legally drive again. The 3-year FR-44 requirement may also restart.

FR-44 insurance can be obtained and filed the same day in most cases. Once you provide your information and make payment, the insurance company files the FR-44 certificate electronically with the Florida DHSMV. The filing is typically processed within 24-48 hours, though some filings are reflected in the system within hours. Call (305) 635-2800 to get started.

Florida FR-44 insurance requires minimum liability limits of: $100,000 bodily injury per person, $300,000 bodily injury per accident, and $50,000 property damage liability. You must also maintain $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP). These limits are significantly higher than Florida’s standard minimums and must be maintained for 3 years from your DUI conviction date.

  • “I made a mistake and got a DUI. I was embarrassed and didn’t know where to start with the insurance requirement. I called People’s Insurance and they treated me like a human being, not a criminal. They found me a policy, filed my FR-44 the same day, and I had my license back within a week. If you’re in this situation, call these guys.”
