Top companies include Liberty Mutual, known for low rates; Lemonade, praised for fast claims; Progressive, offering discounts; Amica, recognized for customer service; and USAA, tailored for military families. Coverage varies, and while not legally required, many landlords mandate it. Renters insurance typically excludes natural disasters and pests. Discounts are available for bundling and safety measures.
