There was a recent thread about this company. If you do a search, you should find it.

You will never know if your insurance is good until you file a claim

Yes, but as mentioned earlier - until you have a claim processed, you don't really know. I'd like to hear some testimonials (good or bad) about claim processing (if there are any).

I didn't find them to be any cheaper than my existing homeowner's insurance.

Who are you using? At renewal Many insurance policy’s increased anywhere from 20% to 50%. One of ours went up 61%.

We get our insurance from AAA - it went up, as did everyone's, so I went to the Kin website based on this forum. The quote they gave me was about $5 cheaper than existing. Our insurance had gone up 28%. We do have a relatively new roof, and no claims, I don't know if that makes a difference.

They are an agency. My rates went way up and I switched to people's trust, less coverage less cost

Interesting. Switched to kin in October. With my wind mitigation, my premium decreased by half from St Johns. We shall see when we need to put in a claim.

If I remember correctly they only write policies in a very limited number of states. They could be hit hard if Florida has a bad year of hurricanes or hail storms.

I have Kin homeowners insurance. Changes to the when my previous company, Coastal, raised the premium by 35%.
The Kin price includes sinkhole coverage as did my former policy. No claims to date but as previous poster said, you don’t really know until you have a claim.

They are not an insurance company they are an insurance broker.

Our insurance hadn't gone up as much as many people's have, so maybe we already had a really good rate. At any rate, I checked around with Kin and a few other companies, and couldn't find anything cheaper.
