Saw this last year, made a big mistake of shopping around for the 'lowest cost', which I got, from a VERY LOW RATED insurance company. I shopped again this year, i questioned the agent on the proposed insurance companies, then contacted my financial advisor who informed my that one of the suggested companies was better than last year but still fairly low. Went back to the agent and said find another company. Finally found a good rated company, and yes there was an increase over last year, around 15 percent I think.
My word of caution is be careful if you go for lowest cost, they are predicting as higher number of hurricanes this year.
