Get Covered Before You Check In.

⌂

Renters, Condo or Home

Most NSA Panama City families live off base in Panama City Beach or across the bay. Get renters, condo or homeowners coverage in place before move-in day.

➜

Update Your Auto Policy

Active duty can keep home-state plates, but your carrier needs to know your car now lives in Bay County. Florida plates require at least $10,000 PIP and $10,000 property damage liability.

≈

Know Your Flood Zone

Thomas Drive, the beach and the bayfront sit near the water. Renters and homeowners policies never cover flood, so check before you sign a lease or a contract.

♡

Plan for the Long Term

SGLI covers up to $500,000 while you serve. Civilian engineers and contractors often rely on workplace coverage that ends when the job does. Private life insurance fills the gap.

Insurance for the NSA Panama City Community

Coverage Built for a Base on St. Andrew Bay

Naval Support Activity Panama City sits on St. Andrew Bay off Thomas Drive in Panama City Beach. It is home to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division, the Navy Diving and Salvage Training Center, the Navy Experimental Diving Unit, the Center for Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Diving, and Coast Guard Station Panama City, along with thousands of military members, civilian scientists and engineers, and contractors.

That mix means very different insurance needs. A student diver here for training needs simple renters and auto coverage. A civilian engineer buying a home in Lynn Haven needs homeowners and flood. A Coast Guard family on Thomas Drive may want a condo policy and a boat policy. We handle all of it, and we compare 20+ carriers so you are not stuck with one company’s answer.

Florida insurance surprises a lot of newcomers, from hurricane deductibles to no-fault auto rules. Our Panama City team explains it in plain English and gets you covered fast, so you can focus on the mission.

Lindsey is an amazing agent. She found a policy that saved us about $1000 on homeowner’s insurance. She made the entire process quick and painless. Excellent communication with speedy responses. We appreciate you!

I was referred to Daffin Insurance by my realtor when I moved to Florida. Daffin has been nothing but helpful in educating me on the ins/outs of insurance in Florida. I have especially found Shannon Purple to be an excellent resource and advocate!

My experience with Sheena at Daffin Insurance was amazing. As a second year business owner she got me exactly what I needed for General Liability and Business Auto Insurance. She gave all the options for me to make the best decision.

NSA Panama City Insurance FAQsQuestions We Hear From Base Families+
Do I have to register my car in Florida when stationed at NSA Panama City?
Active duty service members can generally keep their home-state registration while stationed in Florida. If you choose Florida plates, you may qualify for a fee exemption. Either way, tell your insurance company you are now garaged in Bay County.
What auto insurance does Florida require?
Florida-registered vehicles must carry at least $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 in property damage liability. We also recommend bodily injury and uninsured motorist coverage. See auto insurance
I am only here for dive school. Do I need renters insurance?
If you rent off base, renters insurance is inexpensive and protects your belongings, liability and temporary living costs. Many landlords require it. See renters insurance
Do you insure condos in Panama City Beach?
Yes. A condo policy covers your walls-in, belongings, liability and loss assessments that your association’s master policy leaves out. See condo insurance
I am a civilian engineer or contractor. Can you help?
Absolutely. We insure civilian and contractor families the same way, from homeowners and flood to auto, boat and life insurance.
Is SGLI enough life insurance?
SGLI provides up to $500,000 while you serve, but it does not cover a spouse’s income and ends after separation unless converted. Private term life can fill the gap. See life insurance
