I live in Flood zone X and do not need to have flood Insurance but the house did get 3' of water in 2016 flood so I have always bought it in years past.

Price has gone from $575 to $995 now so I started looking at Private policies and found one from a company called AONEdge for $425 a year.

I have researched the company and they are legit so I was just wondering if anyone else had experience dealing with a private policy especially if they had a claim.

private flood policies can offer better coverage. Replacement cost on contents. You can add temporary living expense coverage as well. Go private and add on some better coverage options.

Risk of private, not backed by Federal govt, exits market. A Return to Federal policy automatically restarts at max premium price.
However, that max premium price is inevitable. So, private is starting to make sense to me…esoecially with better coverage option point.

…Im shopping for flood insurance now. Early days. Helpful to know better coverage point.

Are private flood policies covered by the state if insurer goes belly up? Like homeowners?
