What is the Florida Mature Driver Insurance Discount Course?
The Florida Mature Driver Insurance Discount Course is a state-approved safety program designed for drivers aged 55 and older. Authorized under Section 627.0652, Florida Statutes, this course is approved by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). The comprehensive curriculum covers defensive driving techniques, Florida traffic laws, the effects of aging and medications on driving abilities, and accident prevention strategies.

The course is entirely online, allowing mature drivers to complete it at their own pace from the comfort of their home.
How much can I save on my insurance?
The amount of discount varies by insurance company, as each insurer determines their own discount rates. Florida law requires insurance companies to provide “an appropriate reduction in premium charges” for liability, personal injury protection, and collision coverages when you complete this DHSMV-approved course. Most participants see meaningful savings on their auto insurance premiums. The discount remains effective for 3 years, provided you maintain a clean driving record. Contact your insurance provider to learn about their specific discount percentage for mature driver course completion.
Who is eligible to take this course?
Any Florida driver who is 55 years of age or older is eligible to take the Florida Mature Driver Insurance Discount Course. There are no other prerequisites or requirements.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your driving knowledge, learn about new traffic laws, or simply save money on your insurance, this course is perfect for you.
How long does the discount last?
Your insurance discount remains effective for 3 years from the date of course completion. To maintain the discount during this period, you must:
– Not be involved in an accident for which you are at fault
– Not be convicted of or plead guilty or nolo contendere to a moving traffic violation
After 3 years, you can retake the course to renew your discount for another 3-year period. Many drivers make this a regular practice to maintain their insurance savings.
