For homeowners, hurricane insurance can be a valuable tool to help protect their home and assets. It covers many costs related to hurricanes, including hotel stays and meals at restaurants during the rebuilding process. Reconstruction can often take months, or even years. You will need to be ready to pay a deductible if you wish to file a claim.
Wind
You should have hurricane insurance if you live in an area that is susceptible to hurricanes. If you don't, you may have to pay an additional deductible. These deductibles are subject to change by state but typically range from 1% up to 5%. In some states you have the option to select a higher percentage or a flat rate.
Hail
Insurance payouts for hail damage depend on how the insurer assesses the damage and the limits of your policy. A deductible may be required before insurance companies will cover the damage. Most homeowners insurance policies will include an deductible.
Backup for sewers
Sewer backup coverage is not available under standard home insurance policies. Make sure you have adequate coverage. There are special policies offered by some insurance companies that can cover this type of catastrophe. Before you sign-up for a policy you need to know if you live in an area at high risk.
Additional living expenses
Additional living expenses coverage is available under your homeowner’s insurance policy for those who are affected by a hurricane. This coverage covers rent and hotels, as well as other living expenses.
Wind-driven waters
Wind-driven water can be included in a policy to protect against hurricanes. It is often listed under the policy's description. Unfortunately, policies do not often cover wind-driven storms. Insurers may not cover wind-driven rainfall because it is a different form of flood damage.
Storm surge
A storm surge refers to water being pushed onto land by high winds in a hurricane. This surge combines with the normal tides to cause devastating flooding in coastal areas. Although storm surge is usually not covered under property insurance policies for homeowners, there have been disputes about its coverage.
