Frequently Asked Questions

What types of commercial insurance are essential for businesses in Orlando?

Most Orlando businesses need General Liability, Commercial Property, and Workers' Comp at a minimum. If you're in hospitality, you'll want Liquor Liability and Business Interruption coverage too. And if you're in tech, Cyber Liability is a must these days. We'll help you figure out exactly what you need.

Is flood insurance necessary in Orlando even if I'm not in a high-risk zone?

We'd say yes. A huge percentage of flood claims in Florida happen outside high-risk zones. Orlando has a ton of lakes, and heavy summer rain can cause flooding in places you wouldn't expect. Your regular homeowners or commercial policy won't cover any of it — you need a separate flood policy.

How does the high volume of tourism in Orlando affect my business insurance needs?

More foot traffic means more chances for someone to slip, fall, or have an incident at your business. And when you're dealing with visitors from all over the world, claims can get complicated. Make sure your General Liability limits are high enough — we can help you figure out what makes sense for your specific situation.

What is the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value for my home insurance?

Replacement cost pays what it actually costs to rebuild your home without deducting for wear and tear. Actual cash value deducts depreciation, so you get less. In Orlando, where construction costs keep going up, we almost always recommend replacement cost coverage — it's worth the difference in premium.

Is sinkhole coverage included in my Orlando homeowners insurance policy?

Your standard policy covers catastrophic ground cover collapse, which is when the ground actually caves in and damages your home's structure. But the more common gradual sinkhole issues — foundation settling, cracks — aren't covered unless you add a separate sinkhole endorsement. Central Florida's limestone geology makes this a real risk, so it's worth talking through whether the endorsement makes sense for your property.

What insurance does my Orlando-based food truck or mobile vendor need?

You'll need commercial auto for the truck, general liability for customer injuries, product liability for foodborne illness claims, and workers' comp if you have employees. Most Orlando events and venues won't let you set up without at least $1 million in general liability. A commercial package policy can bundle all of this together and usually saves you money.

How does Florida's assignment of benefits (AOB) reform affect my Orlando insurance claims?

The 2023 reform changed a lot. Before, contractors could take over your claim and sue your insurer directly, which drove up costs for everyone. The new law restricts that and eliminates one-way attorney fees in insurance disputes. For Orlando homeowners, the claims process is more straightforward now, and these changes are helping stabilize rates across the market.

What is the difference between named-storm and hurricane deductibles on my Orlando policy?

A hurricane deductible only kicks in when a storm is officially declared a hurricane. A named-storm deductible is broader — it applies to any storm that gets a name, including tropical storms. That means it triggers more often and can catch people off guard. Check your policy carefully, because this directly affects how much comes out of your pocket after storm damage.
