we did - can't remember how much it was for though. Just thought it'd be smart for our larger items and jewelry.

Re: If you rent....did you get renter's insurance??

I've been renting for years and have renters insurance. I have mine through USAA.

It's not that expensive and even though I haven't had to use it (knock wood), I think it's a good idea to have it.

Re: If you rent....did you get renter's insurance??

DH had renters insurance before we moved in together, when he moved in with me, we moved the insurance over to my apartment and then continued it when we moved into a house.
I believe it is sooooo worth, we do not pay that much for it and my rings are even included.
We have a friend that owns an insurance company and we have it through him.
He is in Sayville, if you are interested.

We have renter's insurance as well through Allstate. When we moved in with my IL's we just transferred the policy. I think it's worth it because for us we have my e-ring on there and all of DH's music equipment.

We did everything through Geico. And when we put everything into storage, we got additional insurance on the storage unit through Geico also.

Definitely...
We have ours through Allstate. They also provide our car insurance so we get a multiple policy discount. A lot of personal insurance companies do this, so check with your auto insurer first.

Re: If you rent....did you get renter's insurance??

When I lived in an apartment in DC I had renters insurance through Allstate and then Geico. They were about $70 for the entire year for replacement value coverage. I lived in DC 4 years ago though so the price might have increased a bit.

Re: If you rent....did you get renter's insurance??

We have renter's insurance through Geico. It was really inexpensive and we paid it in full for the year. Now we save all our receipts and put them in a fire proof lock box in case anything should happen. It gives us piece of mind.
