It Is Going To Cost You More To Drive In Florida Starting September 1
The cost of driving in Florida is getting ready to be dramatically increased beginning September 1. Rates will be hiked for everything from renewing your driver’s license to getting a title for your new car and the new costs are considerably higher. Rate increases will be anywhere from 54% to 1400% in one case. (read more)
The additional costs stem directly from the state needing to balance the budget and make-up for large shortfalls in revenue generation. What does this mean to you? Well it used to cost $20 to renew your Florida Driver’s License but it will now cost $48, an increase of 140%. Registering your SUV or larger car will now cost you over $71 instead of the $46 you used to pay. As if the auto industry wasn’t suffering enough already when it comes to new car sales, there is more bad news on that front starting September 1. Registering your new car will now cost over $400 which is an increase of 110% from the old fee.
Driving is expensive with these new fees and the price of gas increasing but when you add a traffic ticket to the mix it can be too much to handle. If you or a loved one has traffic ticket that you need help with, please contact David Haenel at 1-800-FIGHT-IT or online at www.fightyourcase.com.
