Do it! The average renter pays $16 per month for renters insurance in Florida.
In Seattle, the average renters insurance premium is $14 per month. Moving to Florida would only increase your renters insurance by two dollars! Even better, the cost of living in Miami is currently about 20% lower than in Seattle. Can you tell we’re rooting for you?
Of course, the average renter is not a real person—it’s a conglomeration of all renters in Florida. Your monthly price will probably fall above or below $16.
Here are some things you should avoid, as they tend to inflate your monthly premium:
Renting in a zip code with high theft
rates Renting in an older building
At the end of the day, your Florida renters insurance will probably be cheaper than your Washington renters insurance. We won’t even try to quantify the improvement to your state of mind when you leave behind the rainy Emerald City for a sunny Floridian beach!
When you’re ready to take the next step, it’s smart to shop around with multiple providers to compare rates. After all, there’s no guarantee that your current insurance company will offer you the best rate if you move out of state.
