Flood generally requires a separate policy. Windstorm coverage and deductibles vary by location and insurer, so review what is included and what may need separate protection.
Discuss additional protection for jewelry, art, and other valuable items. Review item limits, documentation, deductibles, and covered losses.
Compare combined and separate policies. A bundle discount may be available, but coverage, total cost, and eligibility determine whether it is a useful fit.
More than a premium.
A lower premium only tells part of the story. Compare the policy's limits, valuation terms, deductibles, and exclusions around the property you are insuring.
Review the dwelling limit and valuation terms around your home's construction and features. A home's sale price is a different measure from the cost to rebuild it.

Look at flood exclusions, windstorm coverage, and any separate storm deductibles so you understand your share of a covered loss.
Review whether and how the policy helps pay for temporary living costs after a covered loss.
