How do I buy renters insurance?

I’m moving into a building next week that requires me to have renters insurance. How do I buy renters insurance?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Congrats on your upcoming move! The easiest way to buy renters insurance is to use a comparison app like
Jerry
.
Shopping around with multiple providers is the best way to guarantee that you’re getting a low rate. All it takes is 60 seconds to compare rates and sign up for a policy.
Start by entering your zip code into the app. Next, you can adjust your coverage needs. You’ll need to select a deductible and a policy limit. Some landlords require you to carry a certain amount of liability protection, so check your lease agreement before you buy a policy.
Finally, you’ll see custom quotes in the app from top companies like
Allstate
 and
GEICO
. If you find a policy you like, sign up inside the app and get your proof of insurance.
Here’s a pro tip: You can usually get a sizable discount if you
bundle
 your renters and auto insurance with the same company. However, don’t assume that your car insurance company will offer you the lowest renters insurance rate. Use the Jerry app to find out.
If you have any questions about
renters insurance
 or even
car insurance
, reach out to
Jerry
. Our friendly agents are available via phone or text. The app is free and fast. You can compare rates and sign up for a policy in seconds.
Hope your move goes smoothly!
