What a dwi / dui costs in Florida
| Typical fine | $500–$1,000 first offense ($1,000–$2,000 if BAC .15+ or a minor was in the car) |
|---|---|
| License points | No points — DUI suspends and revokes directly |
| Insurance impact | A Florida DUI conviction typically doubles or triples premiums and requires FR-44 high-limit coverage for three years. |
| License risk | Administrative suspension begins at arrest — you have 10 days to request a formal review; a first conviction brings 180 days to 1 year of revocation, DUI school, and possible ignition interlock. |
Frequently asked questions
From the date of a DUI arrest you have just 10 days to request a formal review of the administrative suspension or elect a hardship route. Miss it and options disappear — which is why talking to an attorney immediately matters more than anything else.
Because a DUI is a criminal prosecution built on evidence — the stop, field sobriety exercises, breath or blood results — that has to be reviewed before anyone can honestly tell you what your defense involves. The consultation is where a Florida attorney maps your case and your real options.
Florida requires DUI offenders to carry an FR-44 filing with liability limits far above normal minimums for three years. It's a major hidden cost of conviction and a big part of why fighting the charge can pay for itself.
Reduction to reckless driving ('wet reckless') or outright suppression-based dismissal happens in the right cases — flawed stops, improper breath test procedures, chain-of-custody problems. Only a case review reveals whether yours qualifies.
Request a consultation right away — the 10-day administrative clock doesn't wait. We connect you with a licensed Florida DUI attorney who reviews the arrest documents and deadlines with you, no obligation.
