Congrats on the internship! The most popular insurance companies in California are GEICO, Allstate, Progressive, and State Farm.
What is the best renters insurance? Well, the answer depends on your needs!
State Farm
consistently earns some of the highest customer satisfaction rates.
Nationwide
offers nice discounts if your apartment has safety devices like smoke detectors and alarms.
USAA
is often the best choice for military-affiliated renters.
The good news is that you can customize your policy until it meets your needs. You will choose a policy limit, a deductible, and a liability coverage amount. If you have special items that require additional insurance, you can purchase extra coverage.
If the best rate is the lowest rate, you should shop around with multiple companies to find savings. Drivers can usually unlock a sizable discount by
bundling
auto and renters insurance with the same company. However, there’s no guarantee that your auto insurance company will give you the best renters rate.
Of course, price isn’t everything. You’ll also want a company that has great customer service and processes claims quickly.
