What Exactly is an FR44?
It is a very common misconception that an FR44 is a type of insurance policy. An FR44 isn’t insurance at all—it’s actually a filing form attached to your auto insurance policy proving that you are carrying certain higher liability coverages required by Florida law.
Only two states in the entire country require FR44 filings: Florida and Virginia. In Florida, an FR44 is required after being convicted of a DUI in order to get your license reinstated (after paying your court costs and completing your DUI classes). The fundamental purpose of an FR44 filing is to show proof of financial responsibility to the state in case you get into an accident.
Furthermore, Florida no longer accepts paper FR44 documents. All FR44 filings must be transmitted electronically directly to theFlorida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) by the insurance company. At Colucci Insurance, we handle this electronic transmission instantly so you can get your license reinstated without delay.
(For a deeper look into the legal guidelines, you can read the official Florida FR44 Statute 324.023).
Because of the DUI conviction, the state requires drivers to carry substantially higher liability limits than a standard driver. Your FR44 auto insurance policy must include:
-
$100,000 for Bodily Injury per person
-
$300,000 for Bodily Injury per accident
-
$50,000 for Property Damage liability
These mandatory FR44 filings must be maintained continuously for 3 years from the date of your license revocation.
Important Note: 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.
Non Owners FR44 Insurance Miami Florida
What if you need to reinstate your license but you don’t own a car? You will need Non Owners FR44 Insurance Miami Florida.
A Non-Owners Policy basically serves as an excess liability policy over any car you are driving. If you are in an accident in a borrowed car, the vehicle owner’s insurance pays first, and your non-owners policy acts as secondary coverage.
To qualify for a non-owners policy, you must meet strict criteria:
-
You cannot own or have any vehicle registered in your name.
-
You cannot have any co-owned or jointly titled vehicles.
-
You cannot have access to any vehicles on a regular basis (such as a roommate’s vehicle or a family car parked in your driveway).
Because you don’t own a car, a non-owners policy is generally the most affordable way to secure Cheapest FR44 Insurance Miami.
Understanding Ignition Interlock Devices (IID)
Depending on the details of your DUI, the state may mandate an Ignition Interlock Device before you can drive again.
What is an Ignition Interlock Device? An IID is an in-car breathalyzer wired into your vehicle’s ignition system. Before the car can start, you must blow into the device. If it detects a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above a certain level, the engine will remain locked. You can learn more about how this technology saves lives on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s page on Alcohol Ignition Interlocks.
In Florida, a judge or the DMV will typically require an IID under circumstances such as:
-
A first-time DUI conviction with a BAC of 0.15 or higher.
-
A first-time DUI conviction with a minor in the vehicle.
-
A second or subsequent DUI conviction.
If you are required to install one, you must use a state-approved vendor. View the official list of FLHSMV providers of Ignition Interlock Devices.
