“Snowbird
car insurance
is a fun way of saying that if you have a vehicle in
Florida
for more than 90 days a year, you need to purchase car insurance and register it in the state.
Keep in mind you’ll need to meet the Florida
state car insurance minimum requirements
to drive legally.
You should also check with your home state to see what their requirements are. You may be able to avoid having to switch car insurance companies every few months if the state insurance minimums are the same for both states and you sign up with a company that’s in both states.
That said, while it’s costly to purchase another policy, you want to be sure you’re following the law. It’s better to be insured than have your insurance company
deny your claim
in case of an accident.
