Here's your guide to finding affordable mobile home insurance in Fort Myers.
Fort Myers, Florida, one of the top places to retire in the US, is also home to 103 mobile home parks, thanks to its sunny weather, outdoor activities, and proximity to gorgeous beaches.
Residents know that living close to the water puts them at high risk for hurricane damage. Though Fort Myers residents are resilient and quick to rebuild after storms, the importance of home insurance as a tool to restore normalcy can’t be overstated.
That’s why we’re proud to offer affordable mobile home coverage. Our policyholders in Fort Myers pay an average of only $1,296 a year.
Fort Myers (located in Lee County) faces a higher hurricane risk than some other Florida counties, which impacts its average premiums. The age, construction, and size of your mobile home also impacts your premium, as does your claims history.

Perhaps nothing affects mobile home insurance premiums more than location. Where your home is – both within the state of Florida and whether or not it is in a mobile home park – can have a real impact on your cost.
To illustrate that point, take a look at how average policy prices vary from county to county. As you might’ve guessed, the closer you are to the coast, the higher your premiums may be to account for the increased hurricane and flooding risk.
| County | Average Yearly Premium |
|---|---|
| Lee | $1,296 |
| Dade | $2,422 |
| Martin | $1,722 |
| Monroe | $2,235 |
While Lee County is slightly above the state’s average cost, it’s still lower than several other counties where hurricane exposure is higher.

If you have shopped for mobile home insurance before, you’re probably used to overpaying for coverage that underinsures your home.
We’re changing that. Our policies are competitively priced and offer replacement cost coverage for your dwelling. That means when catastrophe strikes, you’ll have the coverage to help pay for a new home after a total covered loss.
Our policies offer the following coverages:
Your policy also includes hurricane insurance to pay for damage caused by hurricane winds.
You can customize your policy with endorsements to further protect your mobile home. For example, our flood endorsement is both affordable and offers essential flood protection for Fort Myers.
Don’t pay more for your coverage than you have to. We’ll help you get as many discounts as you qualify for, such as:
You can also keep your rates manageable by only filing bigger claims when you need to and handling smaller losses on your own. As a general rule, if the loss is lower than your deductible, that’s a repair that should probably be handled outside of insurance.
You can also lower your premium by taking on a higher deductible. But as we mentioned above, your insurance should only help pay for losses greater than your deductible. So a word of caution: don’t take on a deductible so high that it prevents you from reasonably using your coverage when you need it.
