Editor’s expert take:

“Westfield has the lowest customer complaint level of all the companies we analyzed. While it doesn’t offer many discounts, Westfield has below-average rates when compared to other top-scoring companies.”

Editor’s expert take:

“Although USAA is tailored to the military community, you may qualify for membership if a family member is a USAA member. For example, if your grandparent was in the military and was a USAA member, and then your parent became a USAA member, you may also qualify.”

Editor’s expert take:

“If you’re between the ages of 18 and 30 and your parents are American 91Ӱ customers, you can score a generational discount to save on your renters insurance. And for every year you don’t file a claim, your deductible diminishes by $100. Your deductible is how much is subtracted from your insurance claim payout. So, there’s a chance you can get your deductible down to $0.”

Editor’s expert take:

“Auto-Owners doesn’t offer the cheapest rates of companies we analyzed, but it has plenty of discount options to help you save. There are some easy discounts to qualify for, like if you sign up for paperless billing or install a fire or burglar alarm.”

Editor’s expert take:

“If you have expensive belongings, you may want to consider getting Nationwide renters insurance. Most insurers have special limits on how much they’ll pay out for the theft of valuable property like jewelry, watches and antiques. With Nationwide, you can purchase Valuables Plus coverage to extend those coverage limits. You can also get brand new belongings coverage to make sure you’re paid out at today’s prices after an approved claim.”

Editor’s expert take:

“Renters insurance doesn’t cover every type of damage. If you’re looking for enhanced coverage, Country Financial offers umbrella insurance with up to $1 million in liability coverage, identity theft restoration, earthquake and flood insurance.”
