Renting your first apartment is exciting and it’s great you’re sticking to a budget! Renters insurance in KY can cost anywhere from $120 to $250 a year, depending on several factors.
The most common factors that impact
renters insurance
rates are:
  • Location
  • Credit history
  • Age
  • Claims history
  • Insurance company
Since insurance is risk-based, you’ll pay more for insurance if you live in an area where claims are common. Additionally, if you haven’t submitted a renters insurance claim before, you’ll pay less than someone who has. The insurance company you choose can also impact your rate as every company uses a different formula to set rates.
Finally, while this may seem like a lot of money when you’re on a strict budget, you can typically pay renters policies monthly. Based on the average cost, that would only be $10 to $20 a month.
Since rates vary, you should shop around with multiple companies to determine what your rate will be. If you’d rather leave the hard work of gathering quotes to someone else, use insurance broker
