I called AAA this morning to get a homeowners insurance quote. What turned me off completely was their AAA insurance called for a 2% of the home value deductible on hurricane damage. That would be $5,500 for me. They checked two other companies they underwrite with in Sumter county and those companies were not taking new customers. The AAA policy would also cost about $300 more than the current Security First underwritten by GEICO I now have - and my hurricane deductible is $500. Yes, I also have sinkhole damage coverage at $500 deductible.

I told the AAA agent it is a no-brainer that I will stay with Security First and he agreed.
