Florida Hired and Non-Owned Auto Coverage

Florida requires continuous security for vehicles registered in the state and extends that requirement to a nonresident vehicle after it has been physically present in Florida for more than 90 days in the preceding 365 days. Florida PIP is written around specified people and the insured vehicle: it includes the named insured, resident relatives unless excluded, people operating the insured motor vehicle, passengers, and certain pedestrians. The statute does not establish that an employer HNOA policy provides those benefits.

What Is Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance?

Hired and non-owned auto (HNOA) liability protects the business when rented cars or employees’ own cars are used for work. It does not pay for damage to those vehicles, and it is not a substitute for commercial auto on vehicles the business owns. Read the national Hired and non-owned auto guide.

Florida Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance Requirements

Requirement	Details
Continuous security for specified vehicles	Florida requires owners or registrants of most vehicles registered and licensed in the state to maintain security throughout the registration or licensing period. A nonresident owner or registrant must also maintain security after the vehicle has been physically present in Florida for more than 90 days during the preceding 365 days, for as long as it remains in the state. ¹
PIP applies to specified people and vehicles	A policy meeting Florida’s security requirements must provide PIP benefits to the named insured, resident relatives unless excluded, people operating the insured motor vehicle, passengers, and certain non-occupants struck by the vehicle, subject to statutory conditions. ²

What to Watch for With Hired and Non-Owned Auto in Florida

PIP turns on the insured and the vehicle
Florida’s statute names people covered under a policy and ties several categories to operation or occupancy of the insured motor vehicle. Ask whether the employee’s own policy, a rental vehicle’s policy, or the employer’s policy is the relevant insured policy for that trip; do not infer that HNOA supplies PIP. ²
Initial medical care has a 14-day condition
For PIP medical benefits, Florida requires initial services and care within 14 days after the accident. Employees should know how to report an accident promptly and where to seek initial care, while the claim handler confirms policy and eligibility details. ²
A long Florida stay can change the security question
The statute applies its security requirement to a nonresident’s vehicle after more than 90 days of physical presence in Florida during the prior 365 days, whether or not the vehicle was operated. Businesses with extended assignments should ask who owns or registers each vehicle and confirm the required security with the insurer. ¹

Which Hired and Non-Owned Auto Providers Have Florida License Records?

These providers publish a national listing for Hired and non-owned auto; the license records below name the licensed entities and roles. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Florida. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.
