I have not discussed with my Agent because auto and home insurance will not be due until fall. I know it’s a fact auto insurance does go up with age. No public transit in The Villages but you do have golf carts for transportation to everywhere in The Villages and cart insurance is currently must cheaper than car insurance. Home insurance is an issue everywhere in Florida (especially on the coast). The State held a special session but little was accomplished regarding the higher rates for home insurance. Seniors on a fixed income may just have to “tighten their belts” because no relief regarding insurance rates seems to be in sight.
