Where can you get renters insurance? Most insurance companies that carry home owners insurance also carry renters insurance. That means there are many sources for renters insurance. But it is hard to know what insurance company to go with.
Are they any good? Will they be there when I need them? Are their agents available? Will I have to wait forever for my claim to be processed?
Maybe the best place to start when looking for a good company is to ask around with other people that you know who rent or own homes. Who do they use? Are they happy with the company? If they ever made a claim, were they satisfied with the process?
You could also check with the company that provides your automobile insurance policy. Do they offer renters insurance? Will they give you a discount if you use them for both policies?
Of course, you can also look on-line. On-line you can find all the big name companies like AllState and GEICO, plus a number on on-line only ones, like Esurance.com. Spend some time looking around. See what is available. You can use an on-line insurance comparison company, like NetQuote.com, to get you price quotes from a number of different companies. Or, some insurance companies, such as Progressive.com, will give a quote for their company, as well as quotes from other companies.
The companies that you consider should have a web page that offers free, no-obligation price quotes. On their web page, they should also have information about the company, how to file a claim, how to contact them, and maybe financial reports or ratings. Information like this can help you decide if the company is legitimate before you divulge your personal information to them.
What you really what to make sure of is that the company you choose is a legitimate company that will give you good coverage and service when you need it. There are a number of companies that actually rate insurance companies. Most of them require you to subscribe to their services, but you can find some information for free.
