Liberty Mutual advertises renters insurance from as low as $5 a month and adds discounts that matter to price shoppers: up to 10% off for buying on its website, a claims-free discount if you have gone five years without a claim with your previous insurer, and an early shopper discount for quoting before your current policy expires. Personal property, personal liability and additional living expenses are standard. The useful extras are personal property replacement cost coverage, which pays to buy new items rather than their depreciated value, and blanket jewelry cover that needs no deductible or up-front appraisal. Earthquake and no-fault medical cover are also available. Liberty Mutual notes that your belongings are protected for 30 days from the day you start a move and that property is covered away from home. It suggests $15,000 of property cover and $100,000 of liability for many people. Pets are not covered by the renters policy. We compared documented features and published prices.
