Chubb is widely considered first in affordable rates, especially for higher end luxury homes. Its policies run about $1,738.00 per year, which is more than the average rate of  $1,610.00 annually in Indiana, but still reasonable for expensive dwellings.

Chubb earns high ratings in customer satisfaction. Indiana policyholders have nice things to say about this company, overall. Besides its affordable rates for high end homes, it offers special options that are attractive to many homeowners. For example, if your house is destroyed or damaged by a covered loss, Chubb won’t stipulate that you must rebuild.

You may opt to get a cash settlement instead of rebuilding. Other features such as property management services for a second home, personalized claims, high tech property inspections, and others are beneficial to a lot of people. Chubb also has add ons like besides its basic home insurance.

Power because of its robust financial health.  Customer satisfaction ratings could stand to be higher, but all things considered Nationwide is a trusted name in home insurance, with a good reputation. There are a lot of local offices and agents, which spells good, fast customer service when you need it.

If policy options appeal to you, you’ll be glad of the many options available from Nationwide. Some of their options aren’t offered in other homeowners coverage. These include reimbursement for ID theft along with credit card fraud, two fairly common problems.

Better Roof Replacement is another option available to nationwide policyholders. It provides additional coverage if you must buy new roofing materials after a covered loss.

Brand New Belongings is another option provided by Nationwide. You get reimbursed for the loss or damage to your belongings, minus depreciation. Just  purchase items to replace those that have been damaged or destroyed, and send your receipts to Nationwide, then get reimbursement minus the difference between what you paid for replacements and any depreciation.

Policyholders grant Farmers high ratings for its policy perks as well as online experience. Many of those positive reviews about online experience might be attributed to this company’s  explanations of those policy perks, as well as how they can affect not only your coverage, but have a bearing on the amount of premium you pay. If you’re looking for home insurance, Farmers’ policy perks might swing your decision in their direction.
