Or there may be better choices!Before we get into the meat of this review, I’m going to share a little bit of background information.“There were three Category 4 U.S.

landfalls in a period of 26 days: Harvey, Irma and Maria.For context, the previous three occurred over a period of 56 years,” Rappaport said Wednesday at the National Hurricane Conference at Hilton Orlando.  Broken records, remarkable stats made 2017 hurricane season one for the history books, Florida Today American Integrity Insurance Group aka AIIG was founded in 2006.They’ve made a name for themselves as purveyors of homeowners insurance in the state of Florida.Let’s face it, with increasing natural disasters, Florida is a tough place to own a home in recent years.Sadly there are numerous stories about people who’ve lost their homes and didn’t have the proper insurance to cover their costs.But have no fear! American Integrity Insurance was formed in response to the lack of solid home insurance options in Florida.…AND as you’ll see, American Integrity Insurance Company has a good selection of products AND discounts.

So let’s dig in to see if they’re a fit for YOU!Financial ratings are important! They give you an idea of how strong the foundation is for the life insurance company you select.This is VERY important because you want them to be solvent when you make a claim. So what about American Integrity Insurance?Demotech who?Well…none of the big guns, such as AM Best, have given American Integrity Insurance Company a financial rating.You can read into that what you like. Frankly, this isn’t a shining gold star for American Integrity Insurance.In my humble opinion, the official seal of approval from the well-known rating agencies is pretty meaningful.After all, you’re entering into a long-term relationship with these guys! They did, however, get an “A” rating from Demotech.

Hmmmm….you can read into that what you like as well. …and before you get too excited about that A rating – this is the third highest rating they give out.So it could have been better despite the description of excellent.Another more conservative rating company, Weiss, gave them a “D” rating back in 2014.Which means they believed their financial stability was WEAK.

The thing is – it’s tough to find a VERY stable company in Florida, due to the nature of the beast. Established in 1985, Demotech, Inc.is a financial analysis firm located in Columbus, Ohio.Demotech has served the insurance industry by providing accurate and proven Financial Stability Ratings (FSRs) as well as consulting services for Property & Casualty insurance companies and Title underwriters.

Tons of residents live in condos.  Luckily, American Integrity Insurance has condo insurance too!With condo insurance, the following are covered:Permanently attached structuresLoss of useMedical paymentsIf this coverage doesn’t do it for you, you still have the option to add any of the extra protection options I mentioned above as they are the same as the homeowner’s policy.If you’re looking for a cheaper homeowners/condo insurance policy, check out the “X-Wind” policy.  BEWARE: This policy does not cover damage due to wind, tornadoes, hail, and hurricanes.Ummmmm.Yeah.

Fair warning…you’re rolling the dice if you choose this option because this IS Florida after all.….but that’s not all! American Integrity Insurance has a great selection of add-ons too.If you feel their standard homeowner’s coverage leaves too many loopholes, you can go above and beyond!Additional Coverage for Home & Condo OwnersIf you feel you need additional coverage, American Integrity Insurance has a vast selection of add-ons that you can purchase to supplement your policy:Bundled Coverage EndorsementsChoose from a selection of bundle endorsements that offer additional protection that include higher limits on selected coverages.They offer three different levels of protection: Silver, Gold & DiamondHome Systems ProtectionCovers the cost to replace or fix damage caused by home systems breakdown, i.e.

Well, American Integrity Insurance thought of that angle too!Manufactured HomeYou know those homes that are built in a factory, transported on the road, and then dropped in a location? That process has always amazed me.Anyway, those buildings are known as manufactured homes. American Integrity Insurance provides specialized coverage to protect the following:Physical residencePersonal belongingsPersonal liabilitySinkhole coverageYou can also purchase additional coverage for the following:Screen enclosuresAttached structuresMechanical/electrical breakdownIdentity theftWhat if you own a property and rent it out? American Integrity Insurance thought about that too! They provide Landlords with insurance whether they are renting a property or NOT.Yep, even if you aren’t renting your space – you’re still liable for accidents that happen on your property!Rental or Vacant Property InsuranceThese are two different types of policies designed specifically to cover homes that are vacant or homes that are rented out.The first policy is called Dwelling Property 1 (DP-1) and it’s created for people who want to protect houses that are vacant.

Let’s be real…vacant houses are extremely vulnerable to robberies, fires, and other disasters.Thankfully, the DP-1 policy covers:VandalismSquattersThievesLightningFireWater LeaksNOTE: You can also use DP-1 coverage if you have a rental property and are on a VERY tight budget, but it won’t be comprehensive coverage.However, if you own a rented house there are different risks.This is why American Integrity Insurance offers the Dwelling Property 3 (DP-3) policy.It’s also referred to as rental insurance or landlord insurance.If you are a senior citizen you can also access discounts which I will discuss more below.Renter’s PolicyOk, you’re a renter that’s worried about fires, theft, and other events that could destroy your belongings.

No worries! American Integrity Insurance has the coverage for you.A renter’s policy protects:Personal Property: Covers clothes, furniture, and other belongings from $10,000-$250,000.Personal Liability Coverage: If you’re legally responsible for injury or property damage, the basic policy protects up to $100,000, but you can add coverage up to $300,000.American Integrity Insurance prides themselves on the flexibility of their renter’s policy.For example, if you switch residences, you can actually keep the same policy, as long as your new residence qualifies.There are also a few deductible options, including:All Other Perils Deductible, andHurricane DeductibleAdditional Protection for RentersBut wait… there’s more!

“They were predicting three feet of water in the street that meant 3 feet in the house,” said Barlow.While he’s fortunate the surge wasn’t as bad as it could have been, he wanted to prepare by buying flood insurance.He pays about $400 to insure his home in Cape Coral.

He thought it would be the same for his house in North Fort Myers.“They quoted me $1,932 for one year.I was in shock,” said Barlow.  Flood insurance rates climb due to Florida natural disasters, NBC 2 Umbrella InsuranceFor extra protection, you can also purchase an umbrella insurance policy from American Integrity Insurance.Their base plan provides coverage from $1M – $5M.

That’s a pretty good selection don’t cha think?Hmmm! Well, I was VERY excited when I saw that you can get an instant quote! Yep – armed with nothing but a zip code, I only had to answer 2 questions:Was I the homeownerIs my place more than 75 years oldEasy-peasy right?Nope. Every Florida zip code I punched in came up with the same message.

That the area is not serviced by American Integrity Insurance Company. Here is the message I got when I used an Orlando zip code: 32789“Sorry, Your Area Is Not Serviced”Whomp, whomp.The interesting part is when I plugged in that same zip code to locate an agent the system was populated with quite a few choices.Soooo…yes, in theory…an instant quote rocks.Sadly, in reality, the system didn’t work for me. NOTE: Instant quotes only work for home and condo quotes – that is, if it works at all! Otherwise, you have to contact an agent.Which inevitably brings me to….ALWAYS consult an independent insurance agent! They have access to DOZENS of life insurance companies.You have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain.

Why not let them do the leg work! A little competition NEVER hurt anyone and will likely get you better rates.  Chris Huntley, Huntley WealthAmerican Integrity Insurance provides two ways to file claims:OnlineCall their 24-hour claims line They also have a team of local adjusters, ready to deal with the onslaught of claims when a hurricane hit Florida.This is a GREAT perk.Also, I love the fact that you can get the wheels of your claim in motion immediately. As with MANY insurance companies, this isn’t one of their strongest points.…and unfortunately, some of the American Integrity Customer Service reviews are downright terrible! But to be fair, this isn’t the whole story.It’s a mixed bag, but I certainly wouldn’t pick American Integrity Insurance based on their online reviews.This 4-star review is the exception rather than the rule.

Unfortunately, I was able to find far too many 1, 2 and 3-star reviews to say that customers seem happy with the service they are receiving.No American Integrity Insurance Company of Florida review would be complete without the good stuff – and here it is:Wide Selection of Homeowners InsuranceComprehensive DiscountsComprehensive & Affordable Flood Insurance with No Waiting PeriodGolf Cart Insurance (Awesome if You Golf)Claims PROCESSThere’s certainly a lot to like about this little gem of an insurance company in Florida.That being said, be sure you finish the article before buying a policy.It’s not all gravy.Wide Range of Home Related ProductsIf you’re looking for Home Insurance in the Florida area this may be the company you’ve been looking for.They’ve got a very nice selection of property-related insurance.

It gets even better if you splurge for the Premier policy.Who doesn’t want concierge service?Flood InsuranceFloods suck. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.So if you live in an area like Florida, and it’s likely a hurricane will hit – you REALLY need it.

So why not go for a cost-effective solution?…and there’s no waiting period so your coverage starts IMMEDIATELY!Golf CartsGot a golf cart? Then American Integrity Insurance is the company for YOU!ClaimsPredicting when an accident will occur is like trying to predict the Florida weather.It’s easier said than done!Luckily, you can file a claim with American Integrity Insurance ’round the clock.Their claims line is open 24/7 so you can get assistance as soon as possible.Plus, you have the option to report claims online at your convenience.

Trust me, a lot of insurance companies DO NOT make filing a claim this quick and easy.DiscountsLast but not least, we can’t ignore American Integrity Insurance’s numerous discounts! They really do provide a LOT of ways for you to save money. I can’t keep talking about the good stuff without warning you about potential issues.To be fair, every provider has room for improvements! American Integrity Insurance is NO exception.Financial Stability (I’m on the fence here)Customer Service & SatisfactionQuoting ProcessClaim ResolutionFinancial StrengthThere’s no doubt about it — financial strength is one of the most important factors to consider when deciding on an insurance company.Especially when it’s homeowners insurance…in Florida.With the hurricanes, strong winds, and floods, it’s important to know that your provider has the financial backing to pay claims.Plus, it will give you some peace of mind to know that your company will maintain stability for years down the road.Unlike some of their competitors, American Integrity Insurance has not received a financial strength rating from agencies like A.M.Best.

They also only received the 3rd best rating from Demotech – a rating company that’s not as well known.  And the word on the street is that Weiss gave them a “D” rating – which is weak.…but again this is FLORIDA.It’s tough to get an excellent financial rating in this state. This leaves some room for doubt in my mind.Will this fairly new company be around to pay out if I make a claim?…BUT full disclosure – they do have a large reinsurance program.

In other words, they are insured by other companies.Therefore, even if your home gets completely destroyed, your costs would be covered. Customer Service ReviewsIt’s pretty easy to figure out where a company is lacking.All you need to do is read some online reviews to see what issues policyholders have.The most common complaint is related to American Integrity customer service.

Unfortunately, many policyholders have had issues getting their problems sorted out due to poor support.This includes difficulty reaching a representative and the inability to resolve issues.ClaimsOn a similar note, we have to talk about their claims.Now, I know we put claims in the pros, section as well, but that was due to the availability and the ease of filing a claim.

When it comes to dealing with claims, however, several people have had issues.It seems that their resolution process could be smoother. QuotesComparing quotes is one of the best ways to save money on an insurance policy.Nowadays, most companies make getting a quote quick and easy.For example, American Integrity Insurance offers instant online quotes on their website.Yay!Or…maybe not…I was unable to generate a quote as none of the Florida zip codes I picked worked.Also, you have to contact an agent directly if you want quotes for anything outside of condo and homeowners insurance policies.So if you’ve been reading American Integrity Customer Service reviews I bet you are wondering what the bottom line is.At the end of the day, American Integrity Insurance is a NEW company.They’re looking to provide a good alternative for Florida residents, who have been plagued by natural disasters.BUT – if you are looking to insure your home, they have an excellent selection of products that will cover your property AND belongings. Their offering may be even more appealing to those of you who have a house that’s valued over $750 K as their Premier Plan has some very nice perks.

All this aside, if you’re looking for old school financial stability – as in – a score from Moody’s or AM Best…Well, American Integrity Insurance isn’t gonna do it.Also if you are looking for GREAT customer service, when it comes to day to day issue or claims – I personally would look elsewhere.While I do think American Integrity Insurance is a VERY good company, I would get some competitive quotes.Why not call an independent insurance agent TODAY.What do you have to lose? Except for a few dollars off your premiums.

You could also gain a relationship with a company that you ENJOY dealing with.*While we make every effort to keep our site updated, please be aware that "timely" information on this page, such as quote estimates, or pertinent details about companies, may only be accurate as of its last edit day.Huntley Wealth & Insurance Services and its representatives do not give legal or tax advice.
