Geico Renters Insurance Coverage<\/span><\/h2>

Understanding the specifics of your renters insurance policy is essential. Loss of use, personal property, and liability coverage are the basic coverages provided by Geico renters insurance. You can choose coverage amounts from $3,000 up to $200,000 with GEICO’s renters insurance.<\/p>

#1. Personal Property Coverage<\/span><\/h3>

The standard renters insurance policy from Geico will pay for repairs or replacements if an insured event damages your personal belongings, up to the policy’s limits. While each policy is unique, most will cover losses due to fire, vandalism, or sudden water leaks (but not floods). Your renters insurance might help pay to replace your belongings if a burglar breaks into your home and takes them.<\/p>

#2. Personal Liability Coverage<\/span><\/h3>

In addition to protecting your possessions, renters insurance can shield you from financial losses due to legal action taken against you. Guests and visitors may hold you responsible for any injuries they sustain while on your property. If you cause an accident and are found legally responsible, your renters insurance’s personal liability protection will help pay for related medical expenses and\/or property repairs.<\/p>

#3. Loss of Use<\/span><\/h3>

Geico renters insurance will cover additional living costs if you have to temporarily move out of your apartment because of an insured event. In the event of a kitchen fire resulting in smoke damage and your need to relocate out of your home for a few weeks while repairs are made, for instance, your insurance will cover some of your hotel expenses.<\/p>

Additional Coverage<\/span><\/h2>

#1. Replacement Cost Contents<\/span><\/h3>

In most cases, the maximum you will get from a typical renters insurance policy is enough to replace your belongings at their current market value. The actual cash value takes into account how much your things have lost in value over time. Adding replacement cost coverage, on the other hand, protects your things from how much it would cost to buy new ones right now. <\/p>

#2. Disasters Coverage<\/span><\/h3>

Natural disasters like earthquakes and floods are not covered by basic renters insurance. Coverage for natural disasters is especially important if you happen to reside in a high-risk area. <\/p>

#3. Identity Theft<\/span><\/h3>

Additional identity theft policies and coverage are available from Geico, and they can assist in the protection of your personal information against identity fraud, hackers, and other forms of online theft.<\/p>

#4. Scheduled Personal Property<\/span><\/h3>

The cost to replace valuables such as jewelry and artwork may exceed the amount of insurance you have purchased. To make sure your most valuable things are covered, you can buy extra insurance for them. This is called “scheduling the property.”<\/p>

Geico Renters Insurance Discounts<\/span><\/h2>

There are only a few renters insurance discounts that Geico offers that can lower your rates. Two of the discounts you may qualify for are related to the security measures you have taken to protect your home, such as an alarm system or sprinklers. These programs offer discounts to those who own or rent a home, apartment, or condo with certain amenities.<\/p>
