As news spreads that Allstate is dropping coverage of mobile homes along the coast, mobile home owners worry it may become a trend.
Allstate has announced it will drop hazard insurance for an estimated 2,500 mobile homes along Coastal South Carolina, including all of Horry and Georgetown counties.
A spokesman said it's becoming too pricey to insure those homes, especially in hurricane-prone South Carolina.
At Crystal Lakes Mobile Home Park near Surfside Beach, the office manager says she fears more companies will follow suit.
"That's awful.," said Tami Bailey, manager at Crystal Lake.
"A lot of companies are dropping mobile homes, well probably all homes, but I know the rates are so high and if you can't get insurance around here, what are people going to do? Especially being in a hurricane zone, everybody needs insurance," she added.
Allstate says those affected will likely be able to receive coverage from American Modern Insurance Group.
