Florida hurricane insurance quotes and deductibles

In Florida, hurricane coverage lives inside your home policy with its own separate deductible expressed as a percentage of Coverage A. Choosing that percentage is the biggest premium lever you control after roof age.

What moves the price

  • Hurricane deductible percentage: 2%, 5%, or 10% of Coverage A
  • Whether the policy includes windstorm at all — hazard-only forms exclude it
  • Wind-mitigation credits from shutters, impact glass, and roof construction
  • Distance to coast and county wind tier
  • Law and ordinance coverage for bringing repairs up to current code

How the hurricane deductible actually works

On a $400,000 Coverage A, a 2% hurricane deductible is $8,000 out of pocket and a 5% is $20,000. It applies once per calendar year for hurricane losses, and your standard all-other-perils deductible still applies separately to non-hurricane claims.

Watch for hazard-only quotes

Some Florida quotes come back dramatically cheaper because they are dwelling/hazard coverage with no wind or hurricane protection. Your results screen labels those Hazard-Only — no wind or hurricane coverage so the comparison stays honest.

Common questions

Is hurricane insurance separate from home insurance in Florida?

It is normally part of the HO-3 policy but carries its own percentage deductible. In some coastal cases wind is written separately through a wind-only policy.

Should I pick a 2% or 5% hurricane deductible?

Take the higher deductible only if you can absorb that dollar amount after a storm. We show both so the savings are visible before you decide.
