What is renters insurance?
Renters insurance - sometimes also called rental insurance or tenants’ insurance - is a contents-only home insurance policy designer for tenants. It is for those who need contents cover but not buildings’ insurance.
How much does renters insurance cost?
As with the majority of insurance policies, the answer to the question: ‘what does rental insurance cost’ is dependent on the value of the renters’ contents. You can reduce the cost of your premium by taking a few simple measures such as fitting good quality locks and installing an alarm system.
How much renters cover do I need?
Again, this depends on the value of the items you want to cover. You can take out renters insurance to cover from a minimum of €10,000 in contents. It's easy to underestimate the value of all your household goods, from domestic appliances and furniture to personal belongings and valuables so take your time adding up the value of all the items you want covered in the policy. A handy tip is to go from room to room and list the items you want to insure, and if you have any receipts, these will help when adding everything up. It’s also advisable to keep valuations and photographs of any high valuable items.
