Anyone else having like rate increases? Recommend other providers?
You're lucky to even have USAA homeowner's insurance here. You must have had it for quite some time.

USAA hasn't written a new policy in Florida for several years. For our particular area the potential for hurricanes and sinkholes has lead to the USAA decision to control risk by simply not creating exposure by writing new policies. The result seems to be that the limited number of insureds they have here must carry the brunt of any losses the experience here.
