Such BS, We have paid into insurance all our lives. Their pocketing the money and now they can't pay to fix claims. Car insurance has skyrocketing, why is that? I have a great driving record. They are all crooked.

The insurance companies need to show management practices! Also why do not consumers get and credit for not filing claims! Insurance now is 10x or more a persons mortgage!

Yhe reason people are complaining is they will be homeless if insurance keep going up. All places IN FLORIDA are not in a disaster zone. The insurance hikes are ridiculous.

@Eddemnity 7 ай бұрын

No all homes are not in disaster zones, however if you look at the flood maps the entire state is predicted to be below sea level in the future. It’s time to move.

Will never come down. They will make a big deal of no increases for the year and until the next hurricane hit. Then it will be back to 30-40% hikes. The best solution. Move out

Home insurance was basically a very low bill to pay for years. Home insurance shot through the roof a few years ago. And I don't believe home owners should have to pay for people who live on the coasts or live on the Mississippi River, or mountain's area's prone to flooding. I live in an area that never gets flooded. Why should I pay for people that insist on living on high water areas year after year.

I’ve lived in Florida for 65 years and never had an insurance claim and there’s a lot of people like me. Yeah we have some big hurricanes but they have never put out as much money as a claim to they get money from everybody. The hurricanes will hit one place so you know you got miles of damage that it don’t cost as much as they claim it does, what about the people who never had a claim in 65 years why are they having to pay for all this? They’re not going to file bankruptcy everybody just filed bankruptcy fuck them and their insurance rates. 3:58

Citizens decreased my rate. But soon after sent me a letter to tell me I had to switch to another more expense insurance company. I’m guessing they purposely lowered my rate so they can drop me. I’m no expert so idk, it was just very suspicious to me.

I personally don't get why people are complaining. You live in a place that gets hit by natural disasters every year that costs billions of dollars. The rest of the country shouldn't have to make up the difference because of where they chose to live. If you don't like it, then move to somewhere else.
