FR-44 Insurance Miami Florida — Same Day Filing


FR-44 Insurance in Miami, Florida

Need FR-44 insurance in Miami? Whether you live in Brickell, Kendall, Hialeah, or Coral Gables, our agency helps drivers across the Miami metro area get affordable FR-44 coverage with same-day electronic filing. After a DUI or serious traffic violation, Florida requires significantly higher insurance limits — and we specialize in making that process fast, easy, and affordable.

What Is FR-44 Insurance?

FR-44 is a certificate of financial responsibility unique to Florida and Virginia. Unlike standard auto insurance, an FR-44 requires minimum liability limits of $100,000 per person / $300,000 per accident for bodily injury and $50,000 for property damage — ten times Florida’s normal minimums. Your insurance company files this certificate electronically with the Florida DHSMV on your behalf. You cannot self-file an FR-44.

FR-44 is commonly required after DUI/DWI convictions, refusal to submit to a breath or blood test, and certain drug-related driving offenses. It is different from an SR-22, which requires lower limits and applies to different violations.

FR-44 Requirements in Miami

Miami drivers who receive an FR-44 order must meet these requirements before their license can be reinstated:

  • Liability limits: 100/300/50 — far above Florida’s standard 10/20/10 minimum coverage
  • Continuous coverage: You must maintain your FR-44 policy for 3 consecutive years without any gaps
  • Electronic filing: Your insurer must file the FR-44 directly with the Florida DHSMV
  • No lapses: Even a single day without coverage triggers automatic license suspension and restarts the 3-year requirement
  • Additional steps: You may also need to complete DUI school, pay reinstatement fees, and satisfy any court-ordered requirements

How Much Does FR-44 Insurance Cost in Miami?

Because FR-44 requires much higher coverage limits and is tied to serious violations, it costs more than a standard auto policy. However, rates in Miami vary significantly between carriers. We work with multiple insurance companies that specialize in high-risk and FR-44 policies, giving you access to the most competitive rates available.

Many of our Miami clients secure FR-44 coverage starting from just $14 per month. Factors that influence your premium include:

  • Your specific violation and overall driving record
  • Age and years of driving experience
  • Vehicle year, make, and model
  • Your zip code within the Miami area
  • Whether you need additional coverage beyond the FR-44 minimums

Major Highways and Local Courts in Miami

Miami’s highway network is dense and heavily used. I-95 is the main north-south artery connecting downtown Miami to Fort Lauderdale and the rest of South Florida. SR-836 (the Dolphin Expressway/I-395) links I-95 to Miami Beach via the MacArthur Causeway. SR-826 (the Palmetto Expressway) loops around the western suburbs through Hialeah, Doral, and Kendall. US-1 (Biscayne Boulevard in the north, South Dixie Highway in the south) runs the full length of Miami-Dade County. SR-878 (Snapper Creek Expressway) serves Kendall, while the Florida Turnpike provides access south to Homestead. DUI arrests on I-95, the Palmetto, or any Miami surface road all trigger FR-44 requirements.
