I’m pretty sure Ins. Co. Base they’re increase’s on how many claims that are turned in then they raise your rates to help pay for all
of those people that turn in claims. That’s how Ins. Co. stay in business. Ask any person that’s been in the Ins. business! If you don’t believe it that’s OK, I’m not hear to argue.

We moved toTV last October,our policy was $1576.00 we just received the bill for next year, $2020.00 up $444.00 (28%).The house was built 2006 still has original roof.
From what I've been reading rate hikes are happening to many homeowners.My question is does this sound like the norm or high? I would like some thoughts if I should just renew and see what happens next year or start looking for a new company.
Would appreciate any input from anyone who has been this. Thanks

By all means look for a new company. But if you have an old roof(which you do) or an old house or submitted a claim in the last XXX years, you probably won't find one.

I have US Coastal Property and Casualty. in the last three years it has gone from $1095 to $1692 to $2242 (this year). I do have the sinkhole insurance.

Our Travelers HO ins. just went up 50% for the coming annual premium cycle. Called around and still cheaper than most for max coverage. Also just found out that Travelers is not writing any NEW policies at this time in Florida.

I guess Allstate thought that I would just accept a 32 percent rate increase because I was a long time customer. Go figure.

Interesting and I called last week to State Farm and their HO policy, apples to apples was 15% higher than our current Travelers.

I switched to KIN one year ago. Saved me $3000 at the time, but now it jumped from $1000 to $4000 in one year. Looking for reccomendation. State farm who I used for 40 years without a claim will no longer insure my 1999 home in Santo Domingo.

According to the internet, Travelers does not insure homes in Florida.
