Already selected VYRD for your new Florida homeowner’s policy? Welcome!

VYRD is happy to begin protecting your home! While there is nothing for you to do (as Citizens has already transferred your policy to VYRD), we thought you like to know a few helpful things about us:

Your Agent

Your existing insurance agent is also your VYRD agent!

Renewing with VYRD

When your Citizen’s policy is up for renewal, you will receive a renewal offer from VYRD (with better coverage and great rates).

Reporting a Claim

Until VYRD has fully assumed coverage for your policy (November 22, 2022), any losses should still be reported to Citizens. After that, contact VYRD Claims Services at 844-217-6993 or use VYRD’s online Report a Claim form.

A Little Love from VYRD

A Free Water Sensor Kit For You!

Once you create your VYRD online account, you can accept VYRD’s exclusive offer for a FREE Smart Monitoring Starter Kit ($250 value). This (easy) added level of protection will help you avoid costly water damage to your home. Just one more way we are working hard to protect you! Click here or ask your agent for more details.
