I feel painted into a corner with my homeowners' insurance through AAA South. I've had the same policy for about five years and cannot even consider changing? Why? Because I still have the original sinkhole coverage with a $500 deductible! Once the insurance companies get approval to end grandfathering, as I have no doubt they will, then I'm sure that'll change. Meantime, there is no way I can shop around....
