That’s so exciting! The average monthly cost of renters insurance in California is $16.
For less than the cost of brunch, you’ll get a policy that includes protection for your personal possessions, personal liability coverage, and some loss of use expenses if a covered peril makes your home uninhabitable.
In case you were wondering, California renters pay about $7 more per month than Oregonian renters for renters insurance.
If you’re interested in saving money, here are a few tips to bring down your monthly fee:
  • Move to a neighborhood with a lower property crime rate
  • Choose a high deductible (if your financial situation allows)
  • Bundle
    your auto and renters insurance
One more piece of advice: If you’re worried about wildfires, make sure you check your policy carefully. Most standard California policies do not provide protection against wildfires since the risk is so high. If this is a concern for you, look into an additional wildfire policy.
