UPC Insurance vs. Kin on Average Premium

Florida homeowners are unfortunately accustomed to paying high premiums for sub-par insurance. We credit UPC for offering competitively-priced coverage. Their average premium for a $300,000 newly built home is $1,723 a year, but it’s still higher than our average of $1,354 a year. UPC costs about 27 percent more than Kin.

Your rate will likely differ from the state average with any insurance carrier – either higher or lower. Every homeowners insurance policy is underwritten based on the home’s location, size, construction, and claims history.

UPC vs. Kin on Claims

Claims demonstrate whether or not an insurance carrier fulfills its promise to policyholders. Customers can pay premiums for years without ever having a claim and be perfectly content; the difference is whether or not claims are handled properly and fairly.

UPC has mixed reviews with how claims are handled, which suggests the customer’s experience is contingent on the claims adjuster.

We train our claims team to be consistent, fair, and fast. Technology helps us streamline processing and take subjectivity out of an adjuster’s report. The promise to be there for you when a disaster hits is something we take to heart. That’s why we get in touch after major storms just to check in.
