Coast residents face higher home insurance as hurricane season nears
With hurricane season approaching in June, coastal residents may see insurance rate changes. Ten insurers recently raised rates while about 21 lowered them, led by major firms like USAA and Allstate. Wind and hail policies via SC Wind and Hail Underwriting Association rise 4.3 percent on June 1. Gov Sanford cited higher coastal costs as insurers pay more for reinsurance amid catastrophe risks.
