How to get cheaper renters insurance

Shopping around and using discounts are good ways to get cheaper renters insurance.

Advantages of shopping around

Shopping around helps you find the cheapest available rate, which can change over time.

Most companies regularly update the system they use to determine your rate. A company that quoted you a higher rate in the past may give you a lower rate today.

Meanwhile, your own rate qualifications can also change. For example, if your credit has recently improved, you are likely to get cheaper rates now than you did before.

Renters insurance discounts

Checking for renters insurance discounts is another good way to reduce your rate.

  • Most insurance companies give you a big discount for bundling a renters policy with your car insurance.
  • Home safety devices can also get you a discount. Basic features like deadbolt locks and smoke detectors usually get you a small discount. You can often save more if your apartment or home has monitored security and fire protection.
  • Several companies also offer payment discounts. You can often get a small discount for setting up automatic payments from a bank or credit card account. You usually get a larger discount for paying for your policy in full up front.
  • A few companies offer discounts to mature renters. With Allstate, for example, you can save up to 25% if you’re 55 and retired.

Many of the questions on a quote request form are designed to check your discount eligibility. It’s still good to ask about discounts when you get your quote, in case any have been overlooked.
