Cargo Van Insurance in Florida
Florida's service economy runs on cargo vans. Electricians in Orlando, HVAC techs in Tampa, plumbers in Jacksonville, delivery drivers across South Florida — they all depend on Sprinters, Transits, ProMasters, and NV vans to get the job done. But Florida's no-fault insurance requirements, high traffic, and hurricane exposure mean your cargo van needs more than a basic personal auto policy. Our Orlando-based agency places cargo van policies with carriers who understand Florida's unique market.

Frequently asked questions
How much does cargo van insurance cost in Florida?
Florida cargo van insurance typically costs $2,200–$5,500/year, depending on the van type, business use, tools value, and garaging location. Orlando and Central Florida rates are generally more affordable than Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Contractors carrying expensive tools should add inland marine coverage.
Do I need commercial insurance for my work van in Florida?
Absolutely. If you use your van for business in Florida — hauling tools, making deliveries, visiting job sites — your personal policy excludes commercial use. Florida also requires PIP coverage on all registered vehicles. A denied claim could leave you paying out of pocket for a total loss plus medical expenses.
Does Florida require PIP on cargo vans?
Yes. Florida's no-fault law requires PIP on all motor vehicles registered in the state, including cargo vans used commercially. PIP covers $10,000 in medical expenses for the driver/occupants regardless of fault. This is required in addition to your commercial liability coverage.
What about hurricane coverage for my cargo van in Florida?
Your comprehensive coverage protects against windstorm and hurricane damage, but check for named storm deductibles — they can be 2–5% of vehicle value instead of a flat dollar amount. If you garage in a coastal area (Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville Beach), expect higher comprehensive premiums. Inland locations like Orlando typically have lower storm exposure.
