Deductible Too High

Cons
    wind & hail deductible too high

JUN

2009

USAA arbitrarily raised our homeowners deductible from 1% to a whopping 2% for wind & hail damage. The peril which I am most likely to suffer. What I don't understand is that it usually decreases premiums to carry a higher deductible but in this instance they raised both? We called to try to buy-up to 1% but they don't allow it anymore. We are stuck with the 2% even if we were willing to pay additionally for a lower deductible. I am going to have to shop elsewhere for my homeowners insurance due to lack of choice in deductible. Unless you have a large savings account to pay this steep deductible, I suggest you look elsewhere for homeowners insurance.

Same thing happened to me and I found Geico for less money with a 1% deductible. They were also cheaper for my auto insurance as well. I have been a customer for 26 years and finally have left because of this deductible issue. Shop around, you will be surprised.
