Can I drive a salvage title car in Florida?
My cousin’s car was in an accident a few months back. I’ve been working hard on it and it’s ready to drive again. Can I drive a salvage title car in Florida?

You cannot drive a salvage title car in Florida. You must apply for a rebuilt title.
A car with a salvage title is ineligible for insurance—and it’s not road legal. Once you have performed the necessary repairs on your salvage title car in Florida, you can apply for a rebuilt title.
First, an examiner from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) will inspect the car. Then, you’ll have to visit the local tax collector’s office with your paperwork to apply for the title. You will need the vehicle’s VIN, the name and address of the insurer (if applicable), the license plate number, and the market value.

for rebuilt titles can be tricky to find—or it can be expensive so make sure to shop around. View full answer
