Hurricanes & tropical storms
Hurricane damage is one of the biggest drivers of Florida homeowners insurance rates. Florida policies typically carry a separate hurricane deductible, so it’s worth understanding your terms before storm season.

Built for Florida’s real risks
Florida homeowners face risks most states don’t: hurricanes, tropical storms, windstorms, and flooding, often all in the same season. Kin prices Florida home insurance around the risks your home actually faces.
Hurricane damage is one of the biggest drivers of Florida homeowners insurance rates. Florida policies typically carry a separate hurricane deductible, so it’s worth understanding your terms before storm season.
Wind coverage is part of a standard Kin Florida homeowners policy, not a separate windstorm insurance policy you have to buy on its own. Wind mitigation features like impact windows and roof straps may also lower your rate.
Standard home insurance doesn’t cover floods. To round out your protection, you could add Kin flood coverage.
Coastal property and older Florida homes may face higher premiums or more difficulty getting covered. Kin works with homeowners in hurricane-prone and coastal areas to create coverage that meets their needs and their budget.
Understanding Florida rates
Florida home insurance rates vary by county, ZIP code, home age, roof, construction, and hurricane risk. Rates have gone up across Florida in recent years, and homeowners nationwide have felt the same pressure. Kin builds coverage around your home’s actual risk profile, providing you with the coverage you need at a price that works for you.

Set coverage limits that match your home’s real value, so you’re not overpaying for coverage you don’t need or underinsured on the risk you actually have.
You could save with wind mitigation features, home security and fire alarms, water leak detection, a claims-free history, going paperless, and Kin’s Early Quote Discount for getting a quote at least 7 days before you need coverage to start.
If your insurance company dropped you or didn’t renew your policy, Kin’s licensed agents are there to walk you through your options, including harder-to-place homes.
You’ll always know what’s covered and what’s not before you need to file a claim, not after.
If you’ve been dropped or non-renewed
Florida’s home insurance market can be challenging. Some homeowners may face non-renewal letters, higher prices, or difficulty finding homeowners insurance at all. If that’s you, here’s a look at what’s happened in the market in the last few years, and where Kin may be able to help.
A few years ago, hurricane losses, litigation, and rising rebuilding and reinsurance costs led several insurance companies to leave Florida or cut back. During that period, many homes landed with Citizens Property Insurance, Florida’s state-backed insurer of last resort.
Kin is a private insurer that offers coverage in every Florida county, including hurricane-prone areas. Before you settle for a last-resort policy, talk to a licensed Kin agent to explore your customized options.
Don’t wait until your current policy is expiring. Have your declarations page handy, then get a quote online or call a licensed agent to check out your options. Getting a quote at least a week before you need coverage to start could also earn you Kin’s Early Quote Discount.

From quote to covered
Buying your first home in Florida?
Many mortgage lenders require proof of homeowners insurance before your loan can close, and your policy generally needs to be in place on or before your closing date. If this is your first home purchase in Florida, here’s what to expect.
Lenders, including FHA lenders, typically set minimum coverage requirements as a condition of your mortgage. A licensed Kin agent could create a policy that fits what your lender requires.
Many mortgage lenders will require you to have an insurance policy in place before you close on a home. Kin’s process is quick and easy, from quote to coverage. Get a quote online. Customize the coverage to fit your needs. Secure the keys.
If your lender escrows your home insurance, your premium is typically rolled into your monthly mortgage payment and paid from your escrow account directly to your insurer. Ask your lender and your Kin agent how that would work for your loan.
Retired or on a fixed income?
Whether you’ve retired to Florida, you’re an empty nester, or you’re living on a fixed income, Kin’s customizable coverage limits help you avoid paying for coverage you don’t need. Florida discounts for being a mature homeowner (age 50+), wind mitigation, home security, and a claims-free history could lower your rate further.

Florida homes aren’t one-size-fits-all. Coverage needs look different: on the coast, for a second home you use part of the year, or for a property you rent out.
Coastal property in Florida faces its own mix of risk: hurricanes, storm surge, and wind. Kin works with homeowners in coastal areas to create coverage that fits, and flood coverage may be added to your policy.
Whether it’s your full-time residence or a winter home you visit part of the year, how a home is used and occupied affects your coverage. Talk to a licensed Kin agent about whether you need more than a standard policy.
If you’re an Airbnb host in Florida or list your home on another vacation rental platform, standard homeowners or landlord coverage may not automatically extend to short-term rental use. Ask a Kin agent whether how you use your home requires a different type of policy.
