I finally got mine legal. Just over 400 a year by adding it to my safeco insurance policy. Getting the tags took less than 10 minutes. Now its too cold, even in Florida, to drive it.

What is the difference in a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) and Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) in the state Florida?

I’m not sure about the nev but the low speed vehicle can only be operated on roads with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less they also must be registered, have tags and have auto insurance attached.

My husband just went to his third appointment to get plates for our GEM. My goodness what a mess. I still don’t know if I got the correct insurance. Just moved here and as always govt. employees are not helpful at all. My Safeco insurance policy was cheaper than $400. Maybe you could check back in with them.

We just went thru this also, to register and plate in order to drive outside our neighborhood gates it was about $800/year. Non auto insurance to insure it and occupancy was $100/year.

We don’t plan to drive outside our neighborhood but once or twice a year so we went with not registering it.

I would not drive a Gem, golf cart , scooter or motor powered bike, etc on any state road without insurance. The liability of being uninsured or even under insured is way to high. One at fault accident and you can kiss your money goodbye. Happened to friend of mine crossing the street in his uninsured John Deere Gator, he caused an accident and was held liable for it.

I know this post is too old but I think this might help.

I’ve got quoted $102 per year for my 2016 gem (just liability mínimum insursnce required for Florida)  
The insurance is American modern.

That’s who I have also. I’m in NY and pay about $120 a year for full coverage and high limit liability for both my gem and side by side UTV.

Ask for Jackie from the Deerfield beach office.

Hope she can figure it out for you.

If you add more coverage let me know how much it is I might add it too

I pay under $300 a year through Progressive 20/50. In Florida you need PIP and PDL to be able to legally drive on the roads and get a plate

Update: got my policy in and it said not to “registered for street” Mine is. Called the company and had them change it. Raised premium $17. Which is nothing. He thinks the software defaults to non street. So check your policy.

To resurrect this. Called several insurance companies. All wanted to provide golf cart insurance, off-road only. Jackie at DTRT was able to get me the proper LSV insurance, required in Florida. Premiums have gone up. My policy: PIP, PDL, Collision ($100 deductible), Comprehensive ($100 deductible), Liability (Bodily, Property Damage, Passenger), Medical Payments, Uninsured Motorists, Pet Protection, Accessories, Personal effects. $159.00. Not too bad compared to other quoted I received.
