The cheapest home insurance Georgia homeowners are offered is cheap in one of a few ways, a lower dwelling limit, an actual cash value roof or a larger wind and hail deductible, and Georgia's perils punish all three. The Insurance Information Institute's NAIC-based figure puts the average US homeowners premium at $1,411 for 2021, and the average renters premium at $170; both are national averages that no single household pays, and the rate pages on this site show what carriers actually file where you live.
What makes a Georgia quote cheap
A low dwelling limit, actual cash value on an older roof, a percentage wind and hail deductible, minimum liability and no water backup. Metro Atlanta's newer subdivisions attract the lowest filed rates; older houses in the city and the smaller towns carry the roof and systems questions.
The perils a cheap quote has to survive
Hail and severe storms across north and central Georgia, tornadoes, and hurricane remnants on the coast and in the south. A cheap quote with a percentage wind deductible costs far more on the day the roof goes. Flood on the coast and along the rivers is a separate policy. FEMA's FloodSmart notes that almost one-third of NFIP flood claims come from outside high-risk flood areas, and a standard homeowners or renters policy does not cover flood at all.
Where to find the cheap rate for the policy you want
The rate pages on this site show filed Georgia rates by coverage and situation. Quote three carriers on the same dwelling limit and wind deductible and compare the roof settlement terms. The filed rates on this site show how carriers price this where you live, and quotes taken on the same limits and deductible are the only fair comparison.
