There is a common misconception about what an FR44 actually is. Put simply, an FR44 isn’t insurance itself; it’s a filing (or a certificate) attached to your auto policy verifying that you are carrying specific, state-mandated liability coverages. You can read more about the legal specifics directly in the Florida FR44 Insurance Statute.

Only two states in the entire country require FR44 filings: Florida and Virginia. The primary purpose of an FR44 is to provide financial responsibility in the case you get into an accident. Sadly, the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics (NCDAS) reports over 10,000 lives are lost each year due to drunk driving. Organizations like the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) South Florida location—located at 1655 N Commerce Pkwy #302 Weston FL 33326—work tirelessly to support victims and advocate for safer roads. Because of these risks, people in Florida who are convicted of a DUI have to do an FR44 filing to get their drivers license reinstated and prove they have the financial backing to drive safely again.

In Florida, all FR44 filings must be electronically filed directly from the insurance company to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). Because we are FR44 experts, we make sure to expedite these filings so you can get back behind the wheel as fast as possible.

When you get FR44 insurance quotes in Hialeah, you will notice the coverage requirements are significantly higher than standard minimum auto insurance. Similar to what we detail on our main Florida FR44 Insurance page, the state mandates the following minimum liability limits:

• $100,000 for Bodily Injury Liability per person

• $300,000 for Bodily Injury Liability per accident

• $50,000 for Property Damage Liability per accident

In Florida, FR44s are required to be filed for 3 years continuously.

Important Warning: You must maintain this coverage without any lapse or interruption. If your policy cancels for non-payment, the insurance company is required by law to notify the state immediately. This will result in your license being suspended again, the 3-year “clock” starting over from zero, and additional reinstatement fees and court costs.

What if you need to reinstate your license but you don’t actually own a car? That is where Non Owners FR44 Insurance Hialeah Florida comes in.

An non owners policy is basically an excess policy over the car you’re driving. It provides liability coverage for you as a driver, regardless of whose vehicle you are operating. However, the state has strict rules. To qualify for a non-owners policy, you cannot own or have a vehicle registered in your name (including co-owned vehicles). Additionally, you cannot have access to another vehicle or use one on a regular basis, such as a roommate’s or spouse’s vehicle. If you do use their vehicle regularly, you should be added to their policy as a regular operator instead.

Depending on the specifics of your conviction, you may be required to install an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) in your vehicle. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website  highlights these devices as a highly effective way to prevent impaired driving.

If you are wondering who and under what circumstances people in Florida have to get an ignition interlock device installed, the state mandates it for repeat offenders, those with a high Blood Alcohol Level (BAL), or cases involving minors in the vehicle. You can find out more specific guidelines directly on the FLHSMV Ignition interlock page.

Navigating a DUI conviction requires a specific set of actions. In Florida, in order to have your license reinstated, you will need to follow these exact steps:

• Step One: Pay your court costs and fines. You can handle this through the Miami-Dade County Clerk of the Court and Comptroller’s Office.

• Step Two: Sign up and take your mandatory DUI Classes. A great local option is the Metro Traffic School, located at 7500 NW 25th St #119, Miami FL 33122. You can also view a full list of approved Florida DUI Schools via the FLHSMV website.

• Step Three: Do community service. If your sentence requires it, you must complete your mandated community service hours. If acceptable to the courts, a local option in Hialeah may be with the Community Coalition Inc, located at 2401 E 1st Ave #205 Hialeah FL 33010.

• Step Four: Secure your FR44 filing and auto insurance. This is exactly how Colucci Insurance assists you. We find you the best rates and electronically file your certificate with the state.

• Step Five: Visit a local drivers license office to pay your reinstatement fees. Below are the Miami-Dade Tax Collector and DMV locations serving the Hialeah area:

  • Hialeah Gardens: 11093 NW 138th St, Suite 1-9, Hialeah Gardens, FL 33018

  • Hialeah: 1550 W. 84th Street, Suite #75-76, Hialeah, FL 33014

  • Hialeah: 20 W. 49th St, Hialeah, FL 33012

  • Miami Lakes/Hialeah: 6402 NW 186th St, Hialeah, FL 33015

Because FR44 filings require higher liability limits and categorize you as a high-risk driver, the premiums are notably higher than standard auto insurance. However, the exact cost depends on your age, the vehicle you drive, your ZIP code, and your driving history. We shop the market to keep those costs as low as possible for you.
