    At the DMV and Need Insurance? We Have Agents on Stand By

    Standing at the DMV or tag office and just found out you need proof of Florida insurance before you can register your vehicle? Don't leave the line. Our agents can get you an immediate auto insurance policy, often within minutes.

    In Lee County, vehicle registration and tags are handled by the Lee County Tax Collector. Visit their site for office locations, hours and appointments.

    Agents on Stand By

    Insurance Specialists of SW Florida has licensed agents on stand by during business hours, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. Call us at (239) 949-7717 from the DMV and we can shop multiple carriers, bind a policy, and send your proof of insurance (ID cards) to your email so you can finish what you came to do.

    What We Need From You

    To write an immediate policy, have this information ready for every driver and vehicle:

    1. Full name of each driver.

    2. Your garaging address (where the vehicles are kept).

    3. Driver license information for each driver: license number and date of birth.

    4. The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) for every vehicle you want covered.

    If you are financing or leasing, also have the lienholder name and address handy, since lenders require comprehensive and collision coverage.

    Why Use an Independent Agency

    As an independent agency we compare rates from multiple carriers instead of just one, so you get coverage fast without overpaying. Florida requires Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and Property Damage Liability, and we will make sure your policy meets those requirements and protects you properly.
