The result? Risk Factor rates Hollywood’s flood risk as major and the wind risk as extreme.
Weather isn’t the only peril you face as a condo owner. In Hollywood, you also have an above average chance of experiencing property crime.
Risks and the cost of condo insurance in Hollywood
Insurance companies evaluate these and other factors when setting your premium, so the risks you face in Hollywood probably means your condo insurance costs at or above the state average.
However, not everyone pays the same amount for their coverage. That’s mainly because insurers also look at other factors, like:
-
Property size. Your unit’s square footage plays a role in your premium
-
Property age. Are you in a new building? Then it’s probably been upgraded to more current standards, and that can mean a lower premium for you.
-
Your insurance score. When you apply for coverage, insurers typically assign an insurance scores to indicate the chances of you filing a claim.
How to save money with condo insurance from Kin
Condo insurance, like home insurance, is priced based on your risks – and the more data we have, the better we can understand what risks you actually face. That’s why we use technology to review as much publicly available insurance data as we can. By analyzing more data, we’re able to set premiums that more accurately reflect the risks your condo faces.
Other factors play a role, too. The amount of coverage and the deductibles you choose can also drive your premium up or down. Higher coverage limits, for example, cost more. On the other hand, choosing larger deductibles help decrease your insurance costs.
Our Florida condo insurance deductible has the following deductibles and options.
Whatever deductible you choose, just remember that it’s the amount you’re responsible for in a loss, so pick something you know you can afford.
