Great question! You should shop around for renters insurance about two weeks or so before your current policy is set to end or renew to give yourself time to make an informed decision.
In general, it’s recommended that you shop for insurance quotes every six months for long-lasting policies like car and home insurance.
Unlike
home and car insurance
, though, renters insurance is pretty cheap. So cheap that a lot of people just pay what they pay and never shop around for a cheaper premium.
But here’s the thing: comparison shopping is easier now than it’s ever been, thanks to the
Jerry
app. Jerry makes quote-finding so easy that it’s no longer a question of why you’d comparison shop—the real question now is why you wouldn’t.

bundle your renters and car insurance
