Local Guidelines: When renting a car in Florida, including Punta Gorda, it's crucial to understand the insurance requirements. Florida law mandates that all registered vehicles with at least four wheels carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and Property Damage Liability (PDL) insurance. This coverage must be issued by an insurance company licensed in Florida. Remember to maintain continuous Florida insurance coverage throughout the registration period. Do not cancel your Florida insurance until your vehicle is registered in another state or all valid plates/registrations are surrendered to a Florida driver license office, motor vehicle service center, or Tax Collector’s office. Failure to maintain the required insurance may result in the suspension of your driver's license/registration and a reinstatement fee of up to $500.
