my policy in Citrus Grove, on the golf course, is renewed by Progressive at a 100% increase, and also got quote from State Farm in the Villages.... no problem, just expensive.

Caple Howden Insurance Agency is your best source (407)6578808. Or call others and get higher rates first. Up to you. My policy is 2 months old. 1100 per year. 2300 sq ft home. No pool. No birdcage. No trampoline. No solar panels. New roof. If you have any of those issues it will be more money.

This company has been advertising heavily on the radio (I listen to sports talk in the mornings on the Audicy app) where they are advertising affordable insurance specifically in Florida. Click the link and it takes 40 seconds to get a quote.

I just got a quote for 1,602.99/ yr but I recently renewed my old insurance for $2300 which has flooding and sink holes. I would have to chase my old ins. company down for the refund which I don't want to do.

YUP correct

Good question: Try Kin Insurance. They have a nice interactive online site that lets you choose your options and/or adjust them. Probably looking at $2000 - $3000 unfortunately, but it is available! Pray Florida doesn’t get hit this year because more companies will likely depart Florida!

I have KIN now and never saw that link...........can you share it?

Is it really a gamble to self-insure when 3 years of premiums would pay for a new roof?

All state and State Farm are not writing new policies 😣

Allstate will not write new policies for homes built before 2011. Held a progressive policy for years with a 3 year old roof and no claims they tripled our premium.

What to know

Wow! If the insurance pays 71% to the attorneys and the underwriters, only 29% is going to homeowners - the people whose homes were damaged or destroyed. I don't know what it is in other states but that seems like they are paying the wrong people. I thought most lawyers get about 1/3 of damages. If Florida could get it where they are paying 60% to homeowners and 20% to lawyers (1/3 of the 60%), that would leave insurance companies with the remaining 20% - which I would assume would make writing insurance profitable.

Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, who oversees insurance companies, says that Farmers is pulling out of Florida due to Farmers' woke agenda. Good to know that he is on top of solving the insurance problem in Florida.

There is a video going on YouTube that shows the afterwards of a hurricane. They say that homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover everything, including the tear down/throw away of the house. Is this true? Seems to me you could buy insurance for this.

To answer your question NO. Policy does pay for debris removal.
