Most companies that offer home owner’s insurance also offer renter’s insurance.

And these companies are often the same as the companies that offer auto insurance.

So you can start by calling your auto insurance company and asking if they offer renters insurance.

Or you can try calling all the “main” insurance companies like Allstate, State Farm , etc.

They can also explain to you how to estimate the value of the belongings in your home.

Don’t let them just estimate that your belongings are worth $25,000.

That is usually their lowest payout level, and many people who don’t know their belongings’ worth may go with the $25,000.

But this can end up costing you if, when calculated out your belongings are really worth closer to $45,000.

Get a couple of quotes and compare before making your choice.
