Saving on Renters Insurance in California

Types of Renters Insurance Discounts

If you’re wondering how to get a renters insurance discount in California, you’ll be glad to know it’s really simple. For example, you can receive a discount just by having a fire or smoke alarm and a fire extinguisher in your home.

Learn about the features in your home that can help you get a discount on your renters insurance.

Residence Protection Device Discount

To receive this discount, you’ll need to have at least one type of protection or security device installed in your home. For example, a fire or smoke alarm will garner you a discount, but the more devices you have, the more you can reduce your premium. If your home has dead bolt locks installed on all entry doors and a fire extinguisher, your discount will be even bigger. To receive the maximum discount off your renters insurance, your home must have a burglar or fire alarm that reports directly to the fire, police, or a central monitoring department.

Gated Community or Secured Building Discount

If you’re a California renter, you can receive a premium discount for either of the following situations:

  • If you live in a gated community surrounded by a fence with all entrances locked or secured by a 24-hour manned security guard station or a key lock control.
  • If you to live in an apartment building or complex that’s secured by a locked common main entrance to the building.

If your home is protected by one of these two methods, you can receive a discount on your renters insurance policy.
