--- title: "SafePoint Insurance Company Review [Updated 2026]" description: "SafePoint Insurance Company specializes in homeowners and property insurance in coastal states. Founded in 2013, the company serves over 200,000 policyholders but faces challenges with claims processing and customer service." canonical: "https://www.coveragecat.com/reviews/safepoint-insurance" last-updated: "2026-08-13" --- # SafePoint Insurance Company Review [Updated 2026] SafePoint Insurance Company markets itself as a coastal property specialist, but recent regulatory actions and customer complaints tell a more complicated story. The company operates in six states along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, serving more than 200,000 policyholders in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, and New Jersey through its three platforms [(Aggne, "Aggne Enables Safepoint Insurance's Digital Transformation...", 2026)](https://www.aggne.com/news/aggne-enables-safepoint-insurances-digital-transformation-with-successful-migration-to-duck-creek-ondemand).

SafePoint Insurance Company launched in November 2013 to write [homeowners insurance](https://www.coveragecat.com/insurance-types/homeowners-insurance) business in Florida [(SafePoint Insurance, "SafePoint Insurance Official Website", 2026)](https://safepointins.com/).

SafePoint operates through a network of independent insurance agents rather than selling directly to consumers [(SafePoint Insurance, "SafePoint Insurance Official Website", 2026)](https://safepointins.com/). The company expanded its footprint through strategic growth and the creation of reciprocal exchanges, including Cajun Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange in Louisiana (launched 2022) and Manatee Insurance Exchange, a spinoff from Tampa-based Safepoint Insurance Co., was granted a certificate of authority Feb. 2 2024 by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation [(Insurance Journal, "Safepoint's Florida Startup, Manatee Insurance Exchange, Gets COA...", 2024)](https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/southeast/2024/02/07/759675.htm). In December 2021, SafePoint assumed approximately 30,000 homeowners insurance policies from two insolvent Louisiana insurers, expanding its presence in the state where it had been licensed since 2015 [(Louisiana Department of Insurance, "SafePoint Insurance Co. Assumes Policies from Insolvent Insurers", 2021)](https://www.ldi.la.gov/news/press-releases/12-29-21-safepoint-insurance-assumes-policies-from-insolvent-insurers).

The company does not offer business or commercial insurance coverage. ### Homeowners Insurance SafePoint provides HO-3 form [homeowners insurance](https://www.coveragecat.com/insurance-types/homeowners-insurance) for owner-occupied homes [(SafePoint Insurance Florida, "Homeowners Insurance", 2026)](https://safepointfla.com/personal/homeowners-insurance/).

The company offers multiple payment options including an online payment portal [(SafePoint Insurance, "Payments", 2026)](https://safepointins.com/payments/). ## What Does SafePoint Insurance Cost? SafePoint does not publish average premium rates on its website. Third-party sources provide estimates of average annual [homeowners insurance](https://www.coveragecat.com/insurance-types/homeowners-insurance) premiums by state: | State | Average Annual Premium | |-------|----------------------| | Alabama | $926 | | Florida | Data not available | | Louisiana | $3,506 | | Mississippi | Data not available | | New Jersey | Data not available | | Texas | Data not available | Source: [(Metopay Finance, "The Complete Guide to SafePoint Homeowners Insurance Reviews (2023)", 2026)](https://metopayfinance.com/safe-point-homeowners-insurance-reviews/) These figures represent broad averages. Your actual premium depends on numerous factors including property value, construction type, location, deductible amount, and available discounts. Premium calculations also factor in claims history. The company faced regulatory action in Texas for improperly considered claims not paid or payable in calculations of premium for its new business tier. Additionally, Safepoint improperly considered claims resulting from appliance-related water damage losses in calculations of premium [(Texas Department of Insurance, "Official Order No. 2024-8838 - Consent Order with Safepoint Insurance Company", 2024)](https://www.tdi.texas.gov/commissioner/disciplinary-orders/documents/20248838.pdf). ## How to Contact SafePoint Customer Service SafePoint provides customer service through multiple channels: **Phone:** 877-858-7445 **Hours:** Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time (excluding holidays) **Fax:** 813-906-6474 [(SafePoint Insurance, "Check my Claim", 2026)](https://safepointins.com/claims/check-my-claim/) The company maintains a policyholder portal for online account management and offers a mobile app for on-the-go access [(Louis Law Group, "How to File a Claim with Safepoint Insurance", 2026)](https://www.louislawgroup.com/how-to-file-a-claim-with-safepoint-insurance). Multiple customer reviews report significant difficulty reaching customer service representatives. Mail boxes are full and sometimes even the main number says leave a message. Everyone I know has already had a visit from the inspector of their insurance company. This place has not even called me back and I have emailed everyone with no response, according to one BBB review from a Hurricane Ian victim [(Better Business Bureau, "SafePoint Insurance Company | BBB Reviews", 2026)](https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/temple-terrace/profile/homeowners-insurance/safepoint-insurance-company-0653-90300737/customer-reviews). ## How to File a Claim With SafePoint SafePoint offers three methods to report a claim: 1. **Phone:** Call 877-858-7445 during business hours 2. **Online:** File through the policyholder portal at safepointins.com 3. **Mobile App:** Submit claims through the SafePoint mobile application [(Louis Law Group, "How to File a Claim with Safepoint Insurance", 2026)](https://www.louislawgroup.com/how-to-file-a-claim-with-safepoint-insurance) For hurricane-related claims, use the dedicated hurricane claims line at 855-252-4615 Option 1.

A 2024 market conduct examination by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation found significant violations of claims handling requirements. The examination began January 16, 2024, and ended August 29, 2024. This is the first Market Conduct examination of Safepoint.

We filed an insurance claim on 2/26 for a roof damage claim. Since then, an adjuster as well as third party engineer has been out. We have not received a response- approval or denial in regards to this claim. We hired an attorney who has reached out to several times to obtain documentation and status of the claim and they are not responding. I have filed a complaint with the *** as well as a civil remedy. They are NOT responding. It is approaching the 4 month mark with no resolution.

## SafePoint Financial Strength Ratings Financial strength ratings help consumers evaluate an insurance company's ability to pay claims. SafePoint's rating history reveals concerning trends. ### Current Ratings | Rating Agency | Rating | Definition | Last Updated | |--------------|--------|------------|--------------| | A.M. Best | Withdrawn (Last rated C++ Marginal) | Company withdrew from rating process in June 2021 after downgrade | June 2021 | | Demotech | A (Exceptional) | Exceptional ability to maintain liquidity of invested assets | December 10, 2025 | | NAIC Complaint Index | 1:1784 (Q3 2018) | Higher complaint volume than comparable insurers | Q3 2018 | | Yelp | Not available | No business listing found | N/A | | Google Maps | Not available | No reviews found for headquarters location | N/A | | Trustpilot | Not available | Company not listed on Trustpilot | N/A | | BBB | B- (Not Accredited) | Failure to respond to 1 complaint(s) filed against business | December 2025 | | Trusted Choice | Not available | Not rated by Trusted Choice | N/A | | NerdWallet | Not available | Company not reviewed by NerdWallet | N/A | | Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) | BBB+ | Good financial condition, likely to meet policyholder obligations | 2026 | Sources: [(Business Wire, "AM Best Withdraws Credit Ratings of Safepoint Insurance Company", 2021)](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210624005721/en/AM-Best-Withdraws-Credit-Ratings-of-Safepoint-Insurance-Company), [(Demotech, "SAFEPOINT INSURANCE COMPANY", 2026)](https://www.demotech.com/company/15341/), [(Better Business Bureau, "SafePoint Insurance Company | BBB Business Profile", 2026)](https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/temple-terrace/profile/homeowners-insurance/safepoint-insurance-company-0653-90300737), [(SafePoint Insurance, "Financial Strength", 2026)](https://safepointins.com/about/financial-strength/), and [(KBRA, "KBRA Affirms IFSRs for Safepoint Insurance Company", 2026)](https://www.kbra.com/publications/HcYmkTYg) Safepoint Insurance Company has an NAIC number of 15341 and belongs to the Safepoint Holdings Group. Its Financial Stability Rating (FSR) is A, with status FSR affirmed 12/10/2025. ### AM Best Rating History SafePoint previously carried an AM Best rating but withdrew from the rating process in June 2021 after receiving unfavorable assessments. On June 24, 2021, AM Best downgraded SafePoint's Financial Strength Rating to C++ (Marginal) from B- (Fair) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating to "b" (Marginal) from "bb-" (Fair) before the company requested to withdraw from the interactive rating process [(AM Best, "AM Best Withdraws Credit Ratings of Safepoint Insurance Company", 2021)](https://news.ambest.com/PressContent.aspx?altsrc=2&refnum=30861). The ratings reflect Safepoint's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as weak, as well as its marginal operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM). The rating downgrades reflect negative pressure from the holding company, Safepoint Holdings, Inc., which is embedded within the insurance company's overall balance sheet strength assessment. This rating withdrawal carries practical consequences. An investigative report found that In 2021, A.M. Best, the premier ratings agency for insurance companies, dropped its rating for the firm so low it could no longer insure homes with federally backed mortgages. [(The Times-Picayune, "Louisiana regulators continue allowing weak insurers...", 2022)](https://www.nola.com/news/louisiana-continues-to-let-weak-insurers-take-risky-policies/article_50e66b6c-8888-11ed-a9dc-bff9267e6aa2.html). ### Financial Performance As of February 2025, Safepoint Holdings is responsible for the management and operations of three insurance carriers – Safepoint Insurance Company, Cajun Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange, and Manatee Insurance Exchange – with a combined policyholder surplus of $150 million. Safepoint Holdings operates with a combined policyholder surplus of approximately $150 million, with Safepoint Insurance Co. holding $70 million. [(ZestyAI, "Safepoint Holdings Selects ZestyAI...", 2026)](https://zesty.ai/news/safepoint-holdings-streamlines-inspections-underwriting). An independent analysis noted that SafePoint's regulatory filings reveal consistent changes in gross premiums written and underwriting performance. Their 2022 financials reflected solid asset strength but also notable volatility—often a sign of market pressure from increasing reinsurance rates and high storm-related claim activity. [(Coverage Cat, "SafePoint Insurance Company Review", 2025)](https://www.coveragecat.com/reviews/safepoint-insurance). In early 2026, SafePoint secured a $250 million catastrophe bond through its Nature Coast Re 2026-1 program, upsizing the original $150 million target by two-thirds. This multi-year named storm reinsurance protection covers losses across Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas on a four-year term [(Artemis.bm, "SafePoint secures two-thirds upsized $250m Nature Coast Re 2026-1 cat bond", 2026)](https://www.artemis.bm/news/safepoint-secures-two-thirds-upsized-250m-nature-coast-re-2026-1-cat-bond/). ## SafePoint Customer Reviews and Ratings Customer satisfaction data reveals consistent concerns about SafePoint's service quality and claims handling. ### Aggregate Ratings | Source | Rating | Scale | Number of Reviews | |--------|--------|-------|------------------| | Better Business Bureau | B- (Not Accredited) | A+ to F | 3 customer reviews, 12 complaints in last 3 years | | BBB Customer Review Average | 1/5 stars | 1-5 stars | 3 reviews | | Glassdoor (Employee) | 3.2 out of 5 | 1-5 stars | 29 reviews | | Nsure.com | 4 out of 5 | 1-5 stars | Carrier rating based on research | Sources: [(Better Business Bureau, "SafePoint Insurance Company | BBB Business Profile", 2026)](https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/temple-terrace/profile/homeowners-insurance/safepoint-insurance-company-0653-90300737), [(Ibid., "SafePoint Insurance Company | BBB Reviews", 2026)](https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/temple-terrace/profile/homeowners-insurance/safepoint-insurance-company-0653-90300737/customer-reviews), [(Glassdoor, "SafePoint Insurance Reviews", 2026)](https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/SafePoint-Insurance-Reviews-E1495999.htm), and [(Nsure.com, "SafePoint Insurance", 2021)](https://nsure.com/insurers/safepoint-insurance/) **Important Note:** SafePoint Insurance Company is Not BBB Accredited with a B- rating due to "Failure to respond to 1 complaint(s) filed against business." Multiple third-party review websites incorrectly report SafePoint's BBB rating as A+. The BBB profile shows 12 total complaints in the last 3 years with 5 complaints closed in the last 12 months. No reviews were found on Trustpilot, Yelp, or Google Maps for the company's headquarters location. ### NAIC Complaint Data The most recent complaint data from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation shows a complaint ratio of 1:1784 for the third quarter of 2018. The site also offers two insurers of similar market share for comparison; SafePoint has a higher complaint volume than either of the comparable insurers. ### What Customers Say Safepoint Insurance has a rating of 2.65 stars based on 5 reviews on Clearsurance. Customer reviews are a mixed bag. Some policyholders praise fast claims service, while others describe delayed refunds, unclear fees, or frustrating communication.

## Regulatory Issues and Compliance SafePoint has faced multiple regulatory actions that raise questions about its operational practices. ### Florida Market Conduct Examination (2024) The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation conducted its first market conduct examination of SafePoint from January 16 to August 29, 2024. The examination found multiple violations: - 4.7% error rate utilizing adjusters who were not properly appointed - 7.5% error rate failing to pay or deny claims within 90 days - 3.1% error rate failing to make telephone contact within 24 hours - 2.4% error rate failing to inspect losses within 72 hours - 16.3% error rate failing to send detailed repair estimates - 2.0% error rate failing to pay interest when payment was made more than 60 days after receiving notice - 4.1% error rate failing to inspect loss within 48 hours after initial policyholder contact as required by company claims manual [(Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, "Targeted Market Conduct Examination Report Safepoint Insurance Company", 2024)](https://floir.com/docs-sf/property-casualty-libraries/market-regulation/2024/1-safepoint-final-report.pdf?sfvrsn=d11d6ffe_4) ### Texas Consent Order (2024) On August 21, 2024, the Texas Department of Insurance issued a consent order against SafePoint for improperly calculating premiums. Safepoint improperly considered claims not paid or payable in calculations of premium for its new business tier. Additionally, Safepoint improperly considered claims resulting from appliance-related water damage losses in calculations of premium. Total overcharges amounted to $24,019. The order noted that SafePoint cooperated with the investigation and responded to TDI requests [(Texas Department of Insurance, "Official Order No. 2024-8838 - Consent Order with Safepoint Insurance Company", 2024)](https://www.tdi.texas.gov/commissioner/disciplinary-orders/documents/20248838.pdf). ### Louisiana Regulatory Concerns A 2022 investigative report revealed that Louisiana regulators allowed SafePoint to assume risky policies despite financial concerns. After four insurers failed in late 2021, Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon put the fate of thousands of Louisiana homeowners in the hands of little-known Safepoint Insurance Co. The Florida-based firm took on 30,000 risky policies after three companies abruptly collapsed. Three months later, Safepoint assumed 24,000 more. But Safepoint's eagerness concealed another fact not mentioned in the press releases: Its finances were shaky, and they had been getting worse for years. This occurred after Just one year ago, A.M. Best had downgraded Safepoint's financial rating to C++. The rating firm summarized its rationale concisely: The balance sheet was "weak." The firm's operating performance was "marginal." And its surplus, the money used to pay claims, was eroding. [(The Times-Picayune, "Louisiana regulators continue allowing weak insurers...", 2022)](https://www.nola.com/news/louisiana-continues-to-let-weak-insurers-take-risky-policies/article_50e66b6c-8888-11ed-a9dc-bff9267e6aa2.html). ## Company Technology and Innovation SafePoint invested in technology to modernize its operations. In February 2025, the company completed a migration to Duck Creek OnDemand. Aggne migrated over 400,000 historical policy records in a record-setting eight months, utilizing SwiftUpgrade. [(Aggne, "Aggne Enables Safepoint Insurance's Digital Transformation...", 2026)](https://www.aggne.com/news/aggne-enables-safepoint-insurances-digital-transformation-with-successful-migration-to-duck-creek-ondemand). The company also partnered with ZestyAI for AI-powered property risk analytics to enhance underwriting and streamline inspections across all its operating states [(ZestyAI, "Safepoint Holdings Selects ZestyAI...", 2026)](https://zesty.ai/news/safepoint-holdings-streamlines-inspections-underwriting). ## Frequently Asked Questions About SafePoint Insurance ### Is SafePoint Insurance financially stable? SafePoint maintains an "A Exceptional" rating from Demotech and a "BBB+" rating from Kroll Bond Rating Agency [(SafePoint Insurance, "Financial Strength", 2026)](https://safepointins.com/about/financial-strength/). However, the company withdrew from AM Best ratings in June 2021 after a downgrade to C++ (Marginal), which reflects Safepoint's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as weak, as well as its marginal operating performance [(Business Wire, "AM Best Withdraws Credit Ratings of Safepoint Insurance Company", 2021)](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210624005721/en/AM-Best-Withdraws-Credit-Ratings-of-Safepoint-Insurance-Company). ### Can I get a quote online from SafePoint? No. SafePoint does not offer direct-to-consumer sales or online quotes. You must work with an independent insurance agent to obtain a quote and purchase a policy [(SafePoint Insurance, "SafePoint Insurance Official Website", 2026)](https://safepointins.com/). ### How long does SafePoint take to process claims? SafePoint states that an adjuster will contact you within 24 hours of filing a claim [(Ibid., "Claims Process", 2026)](https://safepointins.com/claims/claims-process/). However, a 2024 Florida regulatory examination found that 7.5% of claims failed to be paid or denied within the required 90-day timeframe [(Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, "Targeted Market Conduct Examination Report Safepoint Insurance Company", 2024)](https://floir.com/docs-sf/property-casualty-libraries/market-regulation/2024/1-safepoint-final-report.pdf?sfvrsn=d11d6ffe_4). Multiple customer complaints report delays of four months or longer. ### Does SafePoint offer flood insurance? Yes, flood insurance coverage is also an available option for eligibility policyholders depending on the state [(Nsure.com, "SafePoint Insurance", 2021)](https://nsure.com/insurers/safepoint-insurance/). SafePoint participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Write Your Own program in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi [(FEMA, "Safepoint Insurance Company | NFIP Services", 2026)](https://nfipservices.floodsmart.gov/wyo-program-list/safepoint-insurance-company). ### What states does SafePoint operate in? Home insurance policies from Safepoint are available in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Texas [(Nsure.com, "SafePoint Insurance", 2021)](https://nsure.com/insurers/safepoint-insurance/). ### Is SafePoint the same as Manatee Insurance Exchange? Manatee Insurance Exchange is a spinoff from Tampa-based Safepoint Insurance Co. that received its certificate of authority in February 2024 [(Insurance Journal, "Safepoint's Florida Startup, Manatee Insurance Exchange, Gets COA...", 2024)](https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/southeast/2024/02/07/759675.htm). While both operate under the same parent company, they are distinct legal entities with separate financial ratings. ### Does SafePoint offer discounts on homeowners insurance? ### Is SafePoint good insurance for coastal homeowners? SafePoint Insurance reviews show mixed results. The company specializes in coastal property coverage where options can be limited, but faces challenges with claims processing and customer service. Recent regulatory actions in Florida and Texas document violations in claims handling and premium calculations. SafePoint insurance rating from Demotech stands at A Exceptional, but the company withdrew from AM Best ratings after a C++ Marginal downgrade in 2021. Customer reviews on BBB average 1 out of 5 stars with complaints about unreachable support and delayed claims. Whether SafePoint is good insurance depends on your priorities—access to coverage in difficult markets versus concerns about service quality and financial strength. ## The Bottom Line SafePoint Insurance Company targets a challenging market niche by providing property coverage in coastal states where [homeowners insurance](https://www.coveragecat.com/insurance-types/homeowners-insurance) can be difficult to obtain. The company maintains Demotech and KBRA ratings that meet Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements for mortgage lending. Significant concerns overshadow these positives. The company withdrew from AM Best ratings in June 2021 after a C++ (Marginal) downgrade that cited weak balance sheet strength and marginal operating performance. Regulatory examinations in Florida and Texas documented violations of claims handling requirements and premium calculation errors. Customer reviews consistently report claims delays, unreachable customer service, and communication failures during catastrophic events. If you're considering SafePoint for your [homeowners insurance](https://www.coveragecat.com/insurance-types/homeowners-insurance) needs, weigh these factors against your options. Request quotes from multiple carriers, verify your agent's credentials, and consider whether SafePoint's documented service issues align with your expectations for claims handling and customer support. For high-value properties or situations where reliable claims service is paramount, explore alternatives with stronger financial ratings and better customer satisfaction records.
