Intoxalock vs. Florida IID: An Honest Comparison for Florida Drivers

Two Different Kinds of Company

Intoxalock is the biggest ignition interlock brand in the country, owned by Consumer Safety Technology, LLC - a company headquartered in Urbandale, Iowa, that also runs DUI.org and DUICare. It's a national call-center operation with a large partner network.

Florida IID is Florida-owned and operated. We run 27 service centers across the state, from Pensacola to Homestead, staffed by local technicians who work with the FLHSMV and Florida courts every day. If you like dealing with a big national brand, Intoxalock is that. If you want a local team that answers to Floridians, that's us.

Pricing: Teaser Rate vs. Published Price List

Intoxalock advertises pricing "as low as $1.96 per day" for the base lease - that's about $59/month - "plus additional required charges" (their cost page). What do Florida drivers actually pay? Their own Florida page says the monthly lease in Florida is $110-136/month (Intoxalock Florida pricing, verified August 2026). The gap between the teaser and the real number is exactly what frustrates people.

We publish every fee - installation, lease, calibration, lockout reset, early termination - on our pricing page, and our cost calculator shows your full total before you book. No "call for price," no surprise line items.

Side by Side

Where Intoxalock Is Genuinely Strong

Fairness matters: if you split time between states, Intoxalock's national network is a real advantage - we only serve Florida. They also have a polished mobile app and ISO 9001-certified manufacturing. If those matter more to you than local service and transparent pricing, they're a legitimate choice.

It's also worth knowing they hold an A+ BBB rating - alongside a long public complaint history centered on billing and violation fees, and a $1.75M settlement over recording customer calls without consent. Read those sources yourself and decide what weight to give them.

The Florida Difference

Most IID problems are local problems: a lockout before work in Bradenton, a calibration you forgot in Orlando, a question about a Broward court order. Our technicians are in your county, our support is bilingual, and when you call +1-800-FLORIDAIID you reach people who know Florida's process - not a national queue.

Compare us point by point: transparent pricing, real locations, requirement checker. Then book your installation - or switch to us mid-program if you're already with another provider.
