Lower your rate
How to save money on your policy
- Bundle with auto insurance — the multi-policy discount often makes renters insurance nearly free
- Take an accurate inventory of your belongings — most renters underestimate their property value and over-pay for coverage they don't need or under-insure what they have
- Choose replacement cost coverage over actual cash value — the premium difference is small but the payout difference on a claim is significant
- Add a scheduled personal property endorsement for high-value items like jewelry, cameras, or instruments instead of raising your base limit
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Assuming the landlord's policy covers personal belongings
- Underestimating the value of belongings to insure
- Not adding a roommate who needs their own coverage
