Ignition Interlock Cost in Florida: What You'll Pay With Us

Why We Show You the Total, Not a Teaser

Most people shop for an ignition interlock during one of the worst weeks of their lives - right after a DUI. Many providers take advantage of that moment with a low advertised daily rate up front and extra charges that only surface after you sign. We do the opposite: we quote you a plan total, in writing, before you commit to anything. Our pricing page and cost calculator show the full number for your situation - no line-item surprises later.

Two Plan Totals, Same Device

Everything you pay is bundled into one simple plan, and you pick the billing rhythm that fits your budget:

• Bi-weekly plan - $50.00 every two weeks. Smaller payments that line up with a paycheck - the most popular choice when a DUI has squeezed cash flow.
• Monthly plan - $108.33 per month. One payment, one date to remember.

With everything included - the device lease, device protection, and calibration processing - the monthly plan comes to $131.08 per month all-in, and the bi-weekly plan averages out to the same over the year. There is no surcharge for choosing one schedule over the other.

What Every Plan Includes

Both plans bundle the same things into one payment:

• A state-approved ignition interlock, installed and configured by a certified technician
• Device protection - coverage for accidental damage to the handset and wiring, like insurance on a phone
• Calibration processing - the data handling and state reporting behind your regular calibration appointments, which Florida requires every 30 days
• Bilingual support - real help in English or Spanish when you call +1-800-FLORIDAIID

No installation special that balloons later, and no surprise line items on your first invoice. Your installation appointment - usually 60 to 90 minutes including hands-on training - ends with a certificate of installation for the FLHSMV or the court.

Pick a Term: 6, 12, or 24 Months

Plans are available in 6, 12, and 24-month terms, which line up with Florida's IID requirement periods - a first DUI can mean up to 6 months if the court orders a device, a second DUI at least a year, and a third at least two years. Your court order or FLHSMV notice controls your actual period; our guide to IID duration in Florida breaks down every offense level.

At the all-in monthly total, that works out to roughly $786 for 6 months, $1,573 for 12 months, or $3,146 for 24 months - real numbers you can budget around, instead of a teaser rate that grows.

What Changes Your Total (and What Doesn't)

The monthly math above never changes - what varies is how long you're required to keep the device. A first DUI can mean up to 6 months if the court orders an IID; repeat offenses run a year or more.

Two things you control also matter: optional upgrades you choose to add, and your compliance. Violations and missed appointments cost money at any provider, so staying violation-free is the single best way to keep your program cheap. Our post on avoiding IID violations shows how.

A Word on Shopping Around

When you compare providers, ignore the advertised installation special and ask one question: what is the all-in monthly number, in writing? Many providers quote a daily rate that excludes required charges - a low teaser price means nothing next to an inflated monthly total. Ask also how price changes are handled mid-program; you're committing to months of payments, and the cheapest first invoice isn't always the cheapest program.

Because our plan totals are published, you can compare our $131.08 monthly total against any written quote. The math either works or it doesn't.
