- Special deductibleHurricane. Wind is usually a covered peril, but hurricane or named-storm claims often carry a separate deductible expressed as a percentage of the insured value — 1% to as high as 15%. NAIC
- Special deductibleWind & hail. Usually covered, but many policies apply a separate wind/hail deductible — a flat amount or a percentage of the dwelling coverage. Virginia SCC guide
