Got the notice that the cabin insurance is cancelled effective April 2018. Says the dwelling is in a "brush area". As if it moved from last renewal.
Agent says due to the prior fire experience, all California mountain properties are effected. He did find a Lloyds of London policy for about 2x premium
What is your experience? What providers do you have? A smile is a curve that can set a lot of things straight

It is getting tougher up here. I hope the buyer of our home can get insurance. Our older cabin we used Foremost and our current place we have Ameriprise through Costco but they won't do many up here because of age. Usually it will end up with a "non-admitted" carrier such as Lloyds or Scottsdale ----------------------------
I am also with Travelers as they gave me a lot of coverage for a reasonable price. I have heard some of the large companies will not insure up here (for example, I can't get Flood Insurance through Travelers since I live in Shay Meadow which I guess is considered a Flood Plane or something). I wonder if the recent fires down in Ventura and Santa Barbara (which had substantial losses) affected decision making for insuring fire prone areas in general. -----------------------------------

Allstate cancelled our policy years ago, we went to statefarm. When we called allstate to cancel our auto insurance, they said oops we made a mistake cancelling your policy. We told them sorry but we found a better company.

Thanks for all the input. I had the cabin with to DTH place but the fires have changed the underwriting. I will ask about your suggestions.. travelers, sounds good.
Craig, I thought ALL flood insurance was a government program..

From the insurance guy in my house....
If you had both properties with them and your auto's, but they cancelled just the cabin, take your business elsewhere! You will probably find a better deal bundling all of your insurance needs into one.

I thought if you live in a flood plain, your mortgage company may require flood insurance.
I asked about flood insurance, and I was told I wouldn't be covered by the federal government plan, since my place is NOT in a flood plain. I wanted it because my neighborhood dies get small flash floods when it rains.

We have our Bear City place and dth home on State Farm. The home in Duarte has been with State Farm for about 25 years. When we bought the current place in 2002 we insured through State FArm, though it is a separate policy.

Each year for the last three I have been kicked into a smaller pool of providers. Primarily because I have galvanized steel fresh water plumbing in a 1950 construction. I guess I repipe with PEX this summer. You can divide the world into two kinds of people: Those who divide the world into two kinds of people and those who don't!
