Best Homeowners Insurance in Miami 2022

Your homeowners insurance needs will vary depending on where you live and a number of other factors. The companies below are our Best Homeowners Insurance Companies in Miami of 2022.

USAA: USAA was built with members of the military and their families in mind. Its basic policy includes coverage for identity theft, which is unusual for many of the companies in our rating. The companies that offer identity theft coverage usually only offer it as an add-on. USAA also has a number of discounts for things like having an alarm system, having multiple policies with USAA, and being claim-free.

Amica: Amica offers a number of discounts. For example, you can get a discount if you’ve had a policy for more than two years and save up to 20% if you bundle your home and auto insurance policies. Amica also offers access to its Contractor Connection. This service helps you find licensed contractors for any home repairs you may need.

State Farm: State Farm offers a number of coverages that you can add to your policy to fit your needs. For example, there are add-ons that would extend your coverage limits for your home, valuables, and business property. You could also add coverage for service lines and water backup. Like many other insurers, there are a number of discounts available, such as bundling your homeowners and car insurance policies.

Nationwide: Nationwide’s standard policy includes coverage for your debit and credit cards. Also, Nationwide includes coverage that would pay to bring your home up to current building codes after a covered loss. One of Nationwide’s add-on options would provide replacement cost coverage for your belongings. Nationwide would pay you for the depreciated value of your belongings after a covered loss, and reimburse you for the difference after you repaired or replaced them.

Liberty Mutual: While Liberty Mutual has some of the more common policy add-ons available for water backup and valuable items, it also offers inflation protection. This would automatically adjust your coverage limits to match inflation at the renewal of your homeowners policy. There are also several discounts available, including for bundling, going paperless, purchasing your policy online, and being claim-free.

Chubb: Chubb’s standard policy, Chubb Masterpiece Homeowners, will cover everything from standard coverage for your home, personal belongings, liability, and alternative living expenses to water backup, which is often an add-on with many insurers. Replacement cost coverage is also included, which pays to replace your belongings after a covered event without taking any depreciation of their value. Plus, Chubb offers its own flood insurance, separate from that offered by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

Farmers: Farmer’s offers three starting points for your homeowners insurance needs. You can get its Standard package, which was built for new homeowners. There’s also the Enhanced plan that offers higher policy limits and offers extra features like roof replacement coverage. Finally, the Premier package comes with Guaranteed Replacement Cost coverage for those who qualify, and the highest limits for coverage.

Your personal homeowners insurance policy in Miami will vary depending on how much coverage you’re looking for, where you live, your home’s value, and a number of other factors. Many insurance companies offer completely customizable policies since every homeowner will have different needs.

In the tables below, we look at our top-rated companies that offer policies in Miami. These policies offer $100,000 or $300,000 in liability coverage paired with various dwelling coverage amounts. The exact price you pay will vary.

Some quick and easy ways to save on your homeowners insurance include:

When deciding on the right home insurance company, you’ll need to consider what you need for your home, while also keeping your premium within your means.

If you have a lot of high-value items, you may want to consider getting additional coverage to protect them. In addition, if you have a garage, shed, or other outbuildings, you’ll want to make sure those are covered.

Your average homeowners insurance policy in Miami might cover damage to your home and property.

Liability coverage is also generally included. So if someone is injured while on your property or your pet causes an accident, you’ll be covered. Some policies will also cover living arrangements if your home were to become uninhabitable for a period of time.

Ultimately, the coverage you get will depend on the policy options you’ve chosen and any additional coverage you choose to go with.

Flood and earthquake insurance are two policies you may want to seriously consider purchasing if you live in Miami.

Your regular homeowners policy won’t cover damage from floods. While hurricane damage may be covered by your standard policy, flooding (even due to natural disasters) is typically an entirely separate policy. The companies on this list that do have an add-on will not offer flood insurance directly, but rather they’ll help you get it through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The exception to this is Chubb, which offers its own flood insurance policies unaffiliated with the NFIP.

Like flooding, damage done by earthquakes won’t be covered by your typical homeowners insurance policy. You would either need an endorsement to your standard homeowners policy or an entirely separate policy to receive earthquake coverage.

For specific guidance on getting earthquake coverage, you’ll want to ask your insurance agent for more information.

Take a look at the table below to learn whether or not flooding and earthquake policies are available.

Yes* denotes that the coverage is available for purchase through the insurer, but the insurance may ultimately be from an external program, such as the NFIP (flood), CEA (California Earthquake Authority), or another partner (ie. Palomar for Lemonade Earthquake).

No* denotes that, while a company does not participate in the NFIP, customers can enroll and report claims to agents and/or directly to the NFIP.
