What should I compare besides the price?
Every property is different, so we look at more than price:
- NFIP and private options. Our guide to NFIP vs. private flood insurance explains how they differ.
- Coverage limits. Private policies often offer higher limits than the NFIP.
- How claims are paid. Some policies pay replacement cost and others pay actual cash value.
- Waiting periods and lender requirements. These affect when you’re covered and what your lender will accept.
Your price depends on your property, not just your flood zone. For background, see the average cost of flood insurance in Michigan.
How soon does coverage start, and why get a quote before I need one?
An NFIP policy typically has a 30-day waiting period, and many private policies start sooner. Ask for the start date before you buy. A policy bought after a storm warning may not help in time. Flood damage also happens outside mapped high-risk zones, and homeowners insurance generally doesn’t cover it.
The exception is if the policy is being purchased for a home closing.
Is the flood insurance quote free?
Yes. Requesting a quote is free.
Do I have to be in a flood zone to get a quote?
No. You can get flood insurance whether or not your home is in a mapped high-risk zone.
Will I see both NFIP and private options?
Yes, we compare NFIP and private options for your address. Whether a private policy is available depends on the property.
Can I get a quote for a condo, a rental, or as a renter?
Yes. We quote homeowners, condo owners, landlords, renters and commercial. For commercial quotes we ask you send us a message on our contact page with details and we will reach out to you.
Do I need flood insurance if I have a mortgage?
