Progressive sells renters insurance mainly as a companion to its car insurance. The policy is provided and serviced by affiliated and third-party insurers, so the exact carrier and wording depend on where you live. Coverage includes personal property, personal liability, loss of use for hotel and grocery costs above your normal spending, and medical payments to others regardless of fault. Progressive is upfront about sub-limits, giving examples of $2,500 for personal computers and $1,000 for tools, and lets you schedule items above those caps. A water backup endorsement is available in some states. Rather than a floor price, Progressive publishes an average range of $13 to $27 a month based on policies written in 2025, which is more realistic than a $5 headline. Discounts apply for quoting at least a day before cover starts and for paying in full, and bundling saves an average of $30 on auto. A quote needs only your name, date of birth and address. We compared documented features and published prices.
