Florida Non-Owner Liability Requirements
Florida requires $10,000 property damage liability and $10,000 personal injury protection for all drivers, including those with non-owner policies. Florida is a no-fault state, so PIP is mandatory even when you own no vehicle. For drivers under FR-44 filing requirements following a DUI, the liability minimums jump to $100,000/$300,000 bodily injury and $50,000 property damage — substantially higher than standard coverage.

Non-owner premiums in Florida depend on driving history, whether an FR-44 filing is required, and the coverage limits you select. A clean-record driver maintaining continuous coverage between vehicles pays less than a driver filing an FR-44 after a DUI, because the FR-44 mandates higher liability limits and signals elevated risk.
What Affects Your Rate
- FR-44 filing requirement — Florida's 100/300/50 minimums for DUI offenders cost more than standard 10/20/10 liability in SR-22 states
- Driving history — DUI convictions, at-fault accidents, and license suspensions all raise non-owner premiums
- Coverage limits — carrying higher bodily injury and property damage limits above Florida's minimums increases cost but provides more protection
- Continuous coverage — a lapse in coverage before buying a non-owner policy can raise rates; maintaining unbroken insurance history lowers cost
- Carrier tier — non-standard carriers writing FR-44 non-owner policies charge more than preferred carriers writing clean-record non-owner coverage
- PIP requirement — Florida's mandatory $10,000 PIP adds cost to every non-owner policy, unlike liability-only states

Non-Owner Liability Insurance
Non-owner liability covers bodily injury and property damage you cause while driving a car you do not own. It is secondary coverage that sits behind any policy on the vehicle driven.
Non-Owner FR-44 Filing
An FR-44 is Florida's high-risk insurance certificate required after a DUI. A non-owner FR-44 proves you carry 100/300/50 liability without owning a vehicle, satisfying the state's filing requirement.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Uninsured motorist coverage protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient liability limits. It is optional in Florida but recommended for non-owner drivers.
Non-Standard Auto Insurance
Non-standard carriers specialize in high-risk drivers, including those with DUI convictions, suspended licenses, or multiple violations. They write non-owner policies and file FR-44 certificates.
