The cheapest auto insurance policy a driver can get is a minimum liability policy, which provides the lowest amount of coverage a state requires drivers to hold in order to legally operate a vehicle. Florida has the second-highest rates for a minimum liability policy in the country.

Cheap auto insurance in Miami

Although the cheapest coverage option is a minimum policy, this may not necessarily be the best for your needs. For example, drivers insured with a liability-only policy are not financially protected from damage caused by storms or hurricanes.

Miami residents who own new vehicles or cars worth more than $5,000 should invest in higher coverage limits and additional protection options.

Cheapest Miami full-coverage quote: Geico

Geico has the cheapest full-coverage insurance in Miami at $149 per month — 51% less than the typical price in Miami overall.

The next-cheapest company is State Farm, which has an average full-coverage policy cost of $182 per month. That's only a $32 monthly difference.

A full-coverage policy is one that includes more of the financial protections offered by a minimum liability policy as well as collision and comprehensive coverage.

Cheap car insurance for drivers with prior incidents

State Farm and Geico offer the best prices to drivers with incidents on their records.

Cheapest car insurance after a speeding ticket: State Farm

State Farm has the best rates in Miami for drivers with a recent speeding ticket. Its average price of $196 per month was 46% less than the citywide average.

Insurance companies have found that people with recent speeding tickets on their records are more likely to file claims in the future, so your insurance bill will go up if you've gotten a ticket this year.

Cheapest insurance in Miami for drivers with accident histories: Geico

Geico has the most affordable car insurance after an at-fault car crash. The typical price of car insurance is $202 per month — 54% less than average.

State Farm's prices were also on the affordable side, at just $212 per month. The average price of car insurance after a crash is $437 per month for full coverage.

Depending on your insurer, you may see a jump in premium costs of up to several thousands of dollars after an accident. That's because drivers who have been at fault in one crash are more likely to make another claim in the future.

Accidents are unpredictable; you never know when you might be involved in one. Having an accident on your record affects your rates tremendously, which is why we recommend comparing car insurance from multiple insurers and looking for extra discounts.

Cheapest car insurance after a DUI: State Farm

State Farm is the best option for DUI insurance in Miami, where coverage costs about $196 per month. Geico is also relatively cheap, at $257 per month.

A DUI is one of the most serious offenses you can have on your record, and the cost of your insurance reflects that. Getting a DUI in Miami will raise your insurance by an average of 34% when compared to a driver with a clean record.

A driver with a DUI in Florida is also likely to need an SR-22 or FR-44. These forms certify to the state that you are carrying car insurance and come with an extra fee — on top of the higher rates you're paying for coverage.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with poor credit: Geico

Drivers with bad credit in Miami should consider Geico, where an average quote in Miami is $279 per month. That's $237 per month less than the average price.

While your credit score doesn't have anything to do with your driving ability, insurance companies have found that someone with a lower credit score is more likely to make an insurance claim. As such, having worse credit means you'll pay more for car insurance.

Best car insurance for young Miami drivers: Geico

Geico is the best car insurance for younger drivers. Minimum liability coverage is just $80 per month, while full coverage is $374 per month. That puts Geico well below average for each and makes it the cheapest option citywide.

Younger drivers typically pay much higher rates for car insurance than older, more experienced drivers. An 18-year-old Miamian will pay nearly three times as much as a 30-year-old for an identical full-coverage policy.

Young drivers have to navigate the pricey landscape of insurance in Florida, oftentimes with a limited budget. There are a few ways you can make your insurance more affordable.

Best insurance company customer service in Miami, Florida

These companies were routinely ranked highly by ValuePenguin editors. They also received relatively few complaints from customers, suggesting people tend to be satisfied with their service.

Miami drivers should consider insurers that have top-ranked customer service. Even if a company has low insurance rates, it may not be enough to make up for long claims processes, lagging or nonexistent response times or rude agents.

Average cost of insurance by Miami area

Insurance rates usually fluctuate depending on the area of the city you reside in. Each neighborhood in Miami differs in terms of crime rate, accident rate and population density. As a result, policy prices can vary by more than $1,000 each year.

Minimum coverage requirements in Miami, Florida

The minimum car insurance requirement is set by the state of Florida. All Miami drivers are required to have the following coverages to legally drive in the state:

Considering Florida’s high insurance rates, it’s understandable that drivers might opt for the minimum amount of coverage, since that is the cheapest option. However, it may not meet your individual needs.

Drivers whose cars are less than 10 years old or worth more than $3,000 should consider opting for additional coverage. If you get into an expensive accident with insufficient coverage, you can end up paying out-of-pocket costs.

We also highly recommend liability coverage, which pays for others' expenses when you're at fault in an accident. Unlike most other states, Florida does not require drivers to carry liability coverage.

Florida’s no-fault law

No-fault states require insurers to provide coverage for medical costs regardless of who is at fault in an accident. Florida is one of these states. This no-fault coverage comes in the form of PIP liability.

PIP covers up to 80% of medical expenses and 60% of lost income if you are unable to work, with a combined limit of at least $10,000.
