In risky areas, upping your deductible can lower your premiums. Just be sure you can handle that out-of-pocket cost. With FAIR plans and rising reinsurance, think about saving cash now versus a big claim wiping you out later. Sometimes, a mid-range deductible is the best bet.

In high-risk areas, set deductibles high enough to keep FAIR plan premiums manageable amid reinsurance pass-throughs, but low enough for claims to remain practical. Tailor amounts to property value, hazard frequency, and owner liquidity, using separate storm or wind deductibles when needed.
