Frequently Asked Questions
Auto premium drivers?
Driver age: under 25 = highest premium (40–80% surcharge). Driving record: clean = base, 1 ticket = 10–25%, 1 accident = 30–50%, DUI = 50–200%+. Vehicle: luxury, sports = higher; safe sedans = lower. Location: urban CA, FL, MI, NY = highest premiums; rural Iowa, Maine = lowest. Coverage: state minimum = lowest cost (highest financial risk); 100/300/100 + $500 deductible = standard; full coverage with low deductible = highest premium. Bundle home + auto: 10–25% discount typical.
How is this insurance cost determined?
Property and liability insurance pricing depends on construction class, occupancy class, sprinkler/alarm, location (CAT exposure: hurricane, earthquake, flood, wildfire), claims history, deductibles, and policy limits. Hard market 2022–2025: rates +20–60%, capacity tighter, deductibles higher. Soft market typical 2010–2019: stable to declining. Underwrite for cycle.
Coverage adequacy?
Property: replacement cost vs ACV, coinsurance penalty if under-insured (80–100% requirement). Business interruption: 12–24 months typical, period of restoration triggers. General liability: $1–2M/$2–4M, umbrella to $5–25M depending on occupancy. Pollution legal liability: critical for environmental-risk assets. Builders risk for construction. Match coverage to actual exposure.
Deductible strategy?
Higher deductibles save 5–25% on premium but require risk capital. Wind/hail named storm deductibles: 2–10% of TIV in CAT zones. All-other-perils: $5–25k typical. Self-insured retention (SIR) for sophisticated operators: $50k–500k. Captive insurance: $1M+ minimum, complex but effective for portfolios. Match deductible to financial strength and risk tolerance.
