Dating to late 2024, the state's five largest auto insurance groups have all asked Florida's insurance regulators to approve rate reductions for their various lines of business, a review of rate filings by the South Florida Sun Sentinel shows. Last week, Gov. Ron DeSantis attributed the reductions " averaging 6.5% among the state's five largest auto insurers " to the same reforms enacted in 2022 and 2023 that are credited with stabilizing home insurance rates in the state. Among other changes, the reforms prevented windshield-replacement companies from requiring customers to sign over the benefits of their insurance claims.
