I will have to look into this, 5% is not going to swing it for me, thats for sure.

Allstate did it several years ago. I had to leave them. I have Safeco and have had no problems. My house flooded this year (not weather related) and they handled the situation well.

Are you that poor and pathetic?

WoW, you are obivious to the point

Poor yes, Pathetic, no

Who would drop 10,000 when they could get different insurance and only pay 1,000 for the same coverage.

But you can go ahead and waste 10K MR. BALLER if you were faced with this situation.

Sadly with the value of homes increasing along with building materials the insurance companies i would think have to raise deductibles. I have a $5k deductible and it goes to that plus $2% of policy limits for a named storm. I set the $5k deductible to get rates down and honestly if i have less than $10k in damage i wouldn't make a claim anyway. That will just drive up your premiums. I know several people that make claims almost every time we get any kind of storm yet they bitch about how their insurance keeps increasing

Progressive will offer a $1000 deductible as well. So will Safeco and a few others. You have to read your mail from your insurance company very carefully because they'll frick you when they can. Insurance must be switched from time to time in order to maintain a fair rate & coverage amount.

You'll have that 1k deductible with a smaller company for a couple years then they'll follow the lead from the larger ones.

I can see this happening.

Even if it were a little more, say 3-4k wouldnt be bad, but I couldnt handle 10k very well.
