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

Frequently Asked Questions
Which insurance carriers write non-owner policies in Florida?
Carriers confirmed to write non-owner policies in Florida include Dairyland, GEICO, Progressive, The General, and USAA. For drivers needing an FR-44 filing, Dairyland, GEICO, Progressive, and The General also file non-owner FR-44 certificates. Carrier availability varies by driving history and filing requirement.
How much does non-owner insurance cost in Florida?
Cost depends on driving history, whether an FR-44 filing is required, and coverage limits selected. A clean-record driver maintaining continuous coverage pays less than a driver filing an FR-44, because the FR-44 mandates higher liability limits and signals a DUI conviction. Individual rates vary based on these factors and the carrier tier.
How long does an FR-44 filing last in Florida?
Florida requires FR-44 filing for 3 years after a DUI-related reinstatement, measured from the reinstatement date. The carrier must maintain the filing continuously for the full period; if the policy lapses or cancels, the carrier notifies the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and your license is suspended again.
Can I use a non-owner policy to rent a car in Florida?
Yes. A non-owner policy provides liability coverage when you rent a car, sitting behind the rental company's liability coverage and ahead of the rental company's damage waiver. It does not cover physical damage to the rental vehicle itself unless you purchase the rental company's collision damage waiver separately.
Coverage Types
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.
