From Downtown to the Beaches and Beyond

Jacksonville averages about $212 a month for full coverage, second lowest of the Florida cities MoneyGeek breaks out, after Tallahassee at $186.

It is the largest city by area in the continental United States, with the St. Johns River, the Atlantic beaches and neighborhoods such as Riverside, Avondale and San Marco. That size means long drives on I-95, I-10 and the I-295 beltway, plus coastal weather, which is where comprehensive coverage comes in.

The River City

Jacksonville’s food, music and sports draw crowds year-round, from the Jaguars to the Jumbo Shrimp. Event traffic concentrates on the same interstates commuters use, and a policy built around Florida’s minimum does not cover damage to your own vehicle.

Florida Car Insurance Requirements

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and Property Damage Liability (PDL)

Florida is a no-fault state: your own personal injury protection pays toward your injuries no matter who caused the crash. The minimum required of most drivers is:

  • Personal Injury Protection (PIP): $10,000, required by Florida Statutes section 627.733, with the $10,000 benefit set in section 627.736
  • Property Damage Liability (PDL): $10,000, set by Florida Statutes section 324.022

Optional Coverages

Florida does not require bodily injury liability for most drivers, so a minimum policy has no required coverage for injuries you cause to other people. Many drivers add:

  • Bodily Injury Liability (BIL): Helps pay for injuries to others if you cause an accident.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Covers non-collision damage such as theft, vandalism, flooding, or hurricane-related losses.
  • Collision Coverage: Pays for repairs or replacement of your car if it’s damaged in a crash.

If your vehicle is financed or leased, your lender may require comprehensive and collision coverage. For official guidelines on state requirements and registration, visit the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles insurance page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rates in Jacksonville vary with your driving history, vehicle, age, ZIP code and the coverage you choose, and each company weighs those factors differently. No single company is lowest for every driver, so the useful comparison is identical limits and deductibles quoted side by side. GoAuto focuses on state-minimum liability coverage, and the way to see what applies to you is to get a quote.

Not reliably. National and regional companies rate drivers differently, so neither group is consistently lower in Jacksonville. Compare quotes at the same limits and deductibles, and the difference you see is a difference in rating rather than in coverage.

Start by matching the policy to what you actually need: check the limits, and whether a lender requires collision and comprehensive. Keeping a clean driving record, keeping coverage continuous, choosing deductibles you could pay, and asking about available discounts can all affect the price. Results depend on your state, record and vehicle.
