Travelers
and State Farm
tend to offer the lowest rates to Florida renters.However, your monthly premium could be lower with another company. Every company has its own formula for determining risk and calculating rates. Just because your friend got a low rate with Travelers doesn’t mean that you will, too.
The average monthly fee for renters insurance in Florida is $16. If you want to pay even less than that, try these tips:
Live in a low-risk area (not in a flood zone, low crime rates)
Live in a newer apartment building
Pay your annual premium in a lump sum instead of monthly installments
Shopping around with multiple companies is the smartest way to find a cheap policy. It doesn’t have to take a ton of time, but you should never accept the first offer you find online. If you do, you’re probably overpaying.
