What is a Hurricane Deductible?


A standard deductible is a flat dollar amount (e.g., $1,000). A hurricane deductible is a percentage of your home's total insured value.

Example:

  • Your Home's Insured Value: $300,000
  • Your Hurricane Deductible: 2%
  • Your Deductible: $6,000This is often a shock to homeowners who were expecting to pay $1,000. It's critical to know this before you file a claim.

Key Facts to Know


  • When does it apply? It only applies to damage from a "named storm" as declared by the National Weather Service.
  • What does it cover? It applies to all damage from that storm, including wind, rain, and debris.
  • Why is this important for restoration? Because the deductible is so high, it's crucial that all the work needed to restore your home is properly documented and approved, so you only have to pay that one large deductible.
