The bad news for those who are looking to buy a Kissimmee car insurance policy is that the average cost of car insurance in Florida is significantly higher than the national average. This is due in large part to the high number of collisions in this state. Of course, you should expect your actual rates to differ from the numbers shown above because they will be calculated based on a variety of factors. These include such things as the following:
- Your ZIP code
- The location where you park your car
- The make, model and year of the car(s) you are insuring
- Your claims history and credit score
- The age, sex, marital status and driving records of the licensed drivers in your household
- The amount of liability coverage you wish to purchase
- The optional coverages you wish to include with your policy
- The amount of your deductible
- Your eligibility for any policy discounts
Because so many different factors go into calculating your Kissimmee auto insurance rates, you are likely to get a different quote from every company you contact. That is why comparison shopping is a great way to find the best price for car coverage.

Florida Car Insurance Requirements
- Bodily injury liability: required
- Property damage liability: required
- Personal injury protection (PIP): required
- Uninsured motorist coverage: not required
- Minimum liability limits: 10/20/10: Coverage up to $20,000 for all persons injured in an accident, subject to a limit of $10,000 for one individual, and $10,000 coverage for property damage
Drivers who have been convicted of a DUI are assessed the much higher liability minimum requirements of 100/300/50, and motorists with other major driving violations will also have minimum requirements that are greater than the requirements listed above. Driving without insurance that meets these requirements can result in the suspension of your plates, registration and driver’s license until you can provide proof of insurance. You may also be required to pay a fine of between $150 and $500.
Florida has some of the lowest minimum coverage requirements in the country, which can keep costs low. However, if you are responsible for a major collision that results in significant injuries requiring extensive medical care, you could be responsible for damage that greatly exceeds these minimum coverage amounts. For that reason, it is a very good idea to purchase coverage that exceeds these mandated requirements if you wish to protect your personal assets.

Number of Uninsured Motorists in Florida
- Number of uninsured U.S. drives: 12.6%
- Number of uninsured Florida drivers: 23.8%
The state of Florida has the second-highest rate of uninsured drivers in the county. When nearly one in four drivers sharing the roadways with you is driving without coverage, your finances are put at risk. This is because if an uninsured driver is responsible for a collision with your vehicle, that driver is required to cover your property damage and medical treatment costs. Unfortunately, this money can be difficult, if not impossible, to collect if the offending driver simply hasn’t got it – and that means it will come out of your pocket.
The good news is that by adding uninsured motorist coverage to your Kissimmee auto insurance policy, you are protected in this type of situation. When you have this coverage, your insurance company covers your costs right away and then goes after the uninsured driver on its own. This coverage also compensates you for losses related to collisions with hit-and-run drivers.
