Operating a commercial vehicle in Fort Myers means adhering to strict state regulations (FLHSMV). It is vital to ensure your business meets the minimum limits to avoid penalties or suspension of your registration and license.

According to Florida law, all commercial vehicles must carry a minimum of:

• $10,000 for Personal Injury Protection (PIP).

• $10,000 for Property Damage Liability (PDL).

However, heavy trucks have higher liability requirements based on their Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) as per Florida Statue 627.7415:

• 26,000 – 34,999 lbs: $50,000 per occurrence.

• 35,000 – 43,999 lbs: $100,000 per occurrence.

• 44,000 lbs and up: $300,000 per occurrence.

I stay up to date with industry standards set by organizations like the Florida Trucking Association.

Note: If your business involves crossing state lines, you are subject to federal regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which typically require a minimum of $750,000 CSL.

The cost varies significantly based on your vehicle type, driving history, industry and garaging address. For instance rates are lower in Lehigh Acres than in Cape Coral. On average, a standard commercial auto policy in Fort Myers can range from $1,500 to over $4,000 annually per vehicle. High-risk industries or heavy trucks will see higher premiums.

Additionally, hiring drivers with clean records, increasing your deductibles, and bundling your policies can lead to significant savings.

If you have purchased a new commercial vehicle, you must register it with the local authorities. You can handle your registration, tag, and title services at the Lee County Tax Collector.
