At Tropical Insurance of Manasota Inc, our team answers some of the most common questions about auto insurance to help you make confident decisions about your coverage.

What Type of Car Insurance Should I Get?

Florida law requires all drivers to carry at least:

Personal injury protection (PIP)—May help cover your medical expenses and certain other costs, regardless of who is at fault
Property damage liability (PDL) coverage—May help pay for damage you cause to someone else’s property with your vehicle

While these are the minimum requirements, many drivers choose to add more coverage for greater financial security. In addition to the required PIP and PDL coverage, you may consider:

Bodily injury liability coverage—May help cover injuries you cause to others in an accident
Collision coverage—May help pay for damage to your car from a collision, regardless of fault
Comprehensive coverage—May help cover noncollision events such as theft, vandalism or weather damage
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage—May help cover your costs if you’re hit by an at-fault driver with little or no insurance

Our team can help you determine which options fit your needs.

How Can I Get a Discount on My Car Insurance?

Several factors can affect your premium, including:

Driving record and claims history
Type of vehicle
Where you live
Coverage limits and deductibles
Age and driving experience

There are several ways you might be able to get discounts on your costs, including bundling your policy with other types of insurance (e.g., homeowners and renters), maintaining a clean driving record and enrolling in usage-based coverage. We work with you to find competitive rates and discounts for which you may qualify.
