Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about renters insurance in California.
How do I determine how much coverage I need?
Take a home inventory of your belongings and estimate their replacement value. Don’t forget electronics, clothing, furniture, and kitchen items — they add up quickly. Most renters need $20,000–$50,000 in personal property coverage.
Does renters insurance cover roommates?
Standard policies only cover the named insured and relatives. Roommates need their own policies. Each roommate should carry separate renters insurance for their belongings.
What if I have expensive jewelry or electronics?
Standard policies have sub-limits for certain categories (jewelry, electronics, art). Consider scheduled personal property coverage or a floater for high-value items.
Does my renters insurance follow me when I travel?
Yes! Personal property coverage typically applies worldwide. Your belongings are covered even when you’re traveling, though there may be limits for items away from your residence.
