Call 1-855-700-3744Manatee County is Florida's 15th most populous county with 421,000+ residents stretching from the Gulf beaches of Anna Maria Island through Bradenton and east to the growing master-planned community of Lakewood Ranch. If you've been convicted of a DUI in Manatee County, Florida law requires you to carry FR44 insurance — a high-liability certificate proving you meet the state's elevated coverage limits (100/300/50).
FR44 isn't a type of insurance policy. It's a certificate of financial responsibility that your insurance company files with the Florida DHSMV confirming you carry the required higher liability limits. Without it, your license stays suspended.

Call 1-855-700-3744FR44 insurance in Manatee County typically costs $800-$2,500 per year, or $67-$208 per month. Non-owner policies start lower at $35-$75/month. We shop 50+ carriers to find your lowest rate. Rates vary based on your driving record, age, vehicle, and coverage level.
Complete DUI school, pay all fines, obtain FR44 insurance (we handle this), and visit a Manatee County Tax Collector office with your completion certificates and reinstatement fee. The Tax Collector verifies your FR44 is on file with DHSMV and processes your reinstatement.
No. The Tax Collector's office can check whether your FR44 is on file with the DHSMV, but they do not file it. Your insurance company files the FR44 certificate electronically. MyFloridaFR44 handles this for you same day.
Your insurance company is required by law to notify the DHSMV if your FR44 policy is cancelled or lapses. Your license will be suspended again immediately and you'll need to refile and pay reinstatement fees. You must maintain continuous FR44 coverage for the full 3-year requirement period.
FR44 follows you, not the county of conviction. If you live in Manatee County and were convicted of DUI anywhere in Florida (or had an out-of-state DUI that Florida is enforcing), you need FR44 insurance. The DHSMV requirement is statewide.
Yes, but the process must be seamless. Your new policy must be active before the old one is cancelled. Never let your FR44 coverage lapse — even for one day. MyFloridaFR44 can help you switch carriers while maintaining continuous coverage.
The cheapest FR44 insurance in Manatee County varies based on your individual profile. Non-owner policies are the most affordable option ($35-$75/month) if you don't own a vehicle. For vehicle owners, we compare Progressive, Bristol West, Dairyland, and 47+ other carriers to find the lowest rate for your situation.
