Local Market Info
Garage Liability Insurance in Orlando — What Local Dealers Need to Know
Orlando's rapid population growth has fueled a booming used car market across Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties. The I-4 corridor from Kissimmee through Orlando to Sanford is lined with independent dealerships, buy-here-pay-here lots, and franchise stores serving one of the most transient and vehicle-dependent populations in the state. The tourist economy also supports a large number of rental car operations and fleet dealers, many of which require specialized garage liability programs. As an independent agency, we work with carriers that understand the Central Florida market and can price your risk accordingly.
DMV & Licensing Office
Florida dealer licenses are issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). The Orlando / Orange County regional office is located at 1800 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32803. Dealers must submit a certificate of insurance showing the required garage liability limits before FLHSMV will issue or renew a dealer license. We can issue certificates same-day in most cases, which is critical for dealers who need to meet a license appointment deadline.
Orange County dealers should note that Florida's no-fault auto insurance laws and high uninsured motorist rates in the Orlando metro area can increase the frequency of bodily injury claims on dealer lots. This makes adequate garage liability limits especially important — we recommend at least $1M/$2M for most dealerships, even though the state minimum is $25K/$50K.
Dealer Tip
Orlando dealers who also operate a service department or repair shop on-site need both garage liability and garagekeepers insurance. Many dealers mistakenly assume their garage liability covers customer vehicles left for service — it does not. Garagekeepers is a separate coverage that protects vehicles in your care, custody, or control.
