Florida Homeowners Insurance.
Anyone got any ideas where we can find cheaper Homeowners Insurance? I have been searching the net all day for companies who will sell cheap homeowners in Florida. I came up empty. A lot of Insurance companies don't even sell products in Florida any more.
We just got hit with a $3700 homeowners assessment from Citizen. This is massive hike from last years, even though we did'nt have any hurricanes last year. :eek: :scared: |

Re: Florida Homeowners Insurance.
We have a policy with Tower Hill Insurance.....$846.80.....covers everything for a 3 bedroom house. Our auto insurance is really cheap too, our insurance agent told me a lot depends on where you are located. We live in Leesburg but my friend in Tampa was quoted twice as much for a similar policy from the same insurance company.

Re: Florida Homeowners Insurance.
move location preferably state?
as you said, many companies just aren't covering the state because of the risk, so the few that do don't have to worry about competition... |
Re: Florida Homeowners Insurance.
Last year Texas Select, our homeowners insurance went bust and because of all the problems in 2005 with major hurricanes on the Gulf Coast we found it impossible to find anyone to write us a new policy.
This was the one time we were glad we were over 50 as AARP came to our rescue and we actually ended up with a better policy for less money than we had been paying. The "Wind Coverage" is what bites us, the rest of it is really cheap. But then we have to have flood insurance as well and that's not cheap either |

Re: Florida Homeowners Insurance.
It really depends where you live as to what your choices are. If you live on the waterfront, you'll be lucky to get anything other than Citizens.
We're with State Farm - again, availability is location based. If we lived just the other side of the I-75 (just 2 miles away), they wouldn't write us a policy. Only advice is to shop all companies. Try some of the websites which get lots of people to ring and quote you, such as www.insure.com, www.netquote.com, www.insweb.com. That's what I do as a matter of course when the renewal is due. As others have mentioned, I have had favourable quotes from Tower Hill also, although last year the difference wasn't significant enough to switch from State Farm - I've heard some dropping stories about Tower Hill as mentioned by explorerman. |
Re: Florida Homeowners Insurance.
We're also with State Farm -- living just north of Tampa.

Re: Florida Homeowners Insurance.
I have a 17th floor condo in Panama City and I have to have flood insurance - Idiots.
It's getting harder and harder to get insurance in FL.... |
Re: Florida Homeowners Insurance.
I heard on NPR this morning the politicians in FL are meeting to discuss this issue...

Cheap does not mean adequate. Maybe it's time to move to another state!:D
