FR44 insurance in Lee County starts at $35/month for non-owner policies and $80–$130/month for standard owner policies. Your exact rate depends on your driving record, the specific DUI conviction details, your age, your credit-based insurance score, and the type of vehicle you're insuring. Lee County rates are comparable to the Central Florida average — slightly lower than Orange County due to lower population density.
An SR22 is a certificate of financial responsibility for non-DUI violations (like driving without insurance). An FR44 is specifically for DUI convictions in Florida. FR44 requires much higher liability limits: 100/300/50 versus SR22's 10/20/10. Lee County DUI convictions always require FR44, not SR22. Learn more on our FR44 vs SR22 comparison page.
Our electronic FR44 filing is instant. Once you purchase your policy, we file the FR44 certificate electronically with the Florida DHSMV — it's on record immediately. You can visit the Lee County Tax Collector the same day for license reinstatement. There is no waiting period or processing delay.
Absolutely. Non-owner FR44 policies are common in Lee County — especially for drivers whose vehicles were impounded or sold after a DUI. Non-owner coverage starts at $35/month and provides liability protection when you drive borrowed or rented vehicles. It satisfies the state FR44 filing requirement and allows you to reinstate your license.
If your FR44 policy lapses for any reason — missed payment, cancellation, non-renewal — your insurance company must notify the Florida DHSMV immediately. Your license is suspended again, and the 3-year FR44 clock resets. You must start the entire process over. We strongly recommend automatic payments to prevent lapses. If you're struggling to afford your FR44 in Lee County, call us at 1-855-999-1944 — we can often find savings.
Yes. We serve every Lee County community — from Fort Myers and Fort Myers to rural areas like Matlacha, St. James City, Buckingham, and the Caloosahatchee Regional Park.

The cheapest path in Lee County: (1) Choose a non-owner policy if you don't have a vehicle ($35/month minimum), (2) maintain continuous coverage for the full 3 years to avoid resetting the clock, (3) take a DUI school/advanced driver improvement course for a possible rate discount, (4) shop around — many Lee County drivers overpay by not comparing quotes.
