Fast Facts
Bloomington, Illinois, September 1, 2009 –You may have remembered to purchase school supplies, books, and tuition, but what about renters insurance?
Renters insurance is an affordable insurance policy for college students, starting at less than $20 each month in many areas. For less than the price of a night on the town, you can have the peace of mind that your belongings – from granny’s old sofa to your new game system – are covered.
While affordable, you get bang for your buck because not only does renters insurance provide coverage for items in your home like your new college sweatshirt, it also provides liability coverage in case your friend injures themselves while crashing at your place and alleges you’re at fault.
A misconception about renters insurance is that many believe their landlord’s insurance will cover their belongings. Not so. You can’t afford to be without renters insurance.
The average rental claim for a State Farm® policyholder is more than $5,000. If a burglar strikes while you’re visiting your parents for the weekend and takes everything of value along with them, you’re covered with renters insurance. Before you head home for Labor Day, protect your belongings with renters insurance.
