How to get cheap renters insurance

You can lower renters insurance costs by taking the time to find the best deal. Try these tips to save on renters insurance:

  • Ask about discounts. Many homeowners insurance discounts are also available for renters insurance. “One of the biggest discounts is the auto and renters bundling discount. If you already have an auto insurance policy and add a renters insurance policy under the same insurance provider, that will likely trigger a discount. In many cases, this discount can cover most if not all of the renters policy premium, essentially giving you the renters coverage for a very low cost," GEICO insurance agent Eric Vaden says.
  • Compare multiple quotes. Whether you’re looking for the cheapest renters insurance for an apartment or a house, the best way to save on your renters insurance is to shop around. A renters insurance quote comparison should include three to five companies to help you find the lowest price on renters insurance.
  • Consider a higher deductible. Carrying a bigger deductible means lower rates; just ensure you can afford it if you need to pay it.
