I have a $2,500 deductible and would like it to be more if it saved me a bit of money. The reason a deductible makes sense is that I am not likely to make a claim for anything less than the deductible or even if the loss is perhaps twice the deductible because my rates would very likely increase and the insurance company would get whatever they paid out for a loss back in increased premiums. Also, another carrier canceled our insurance even without any claims being made - they said the roof needed to be replaced. That had already been scheduled and they canceled anyway. And they are canceling policies in this area or very substantially raising premiums. My premium doubled two years ago. Making small claims makes no sense therefore a deductible makes sense.
