The list of tasks to take care of in planning for college can seem endless. There are classes to sign up for, books to acquire, and living arrangements to be made. There are finances to budget and packing and moving to look forward to. Some things can get lost in the shuffle. One of those is student rental insurance.
Do Students Need Student Rental Insurance?
One of the biggest factors in determining the need for student rental insurance is whether the student will live on or off campus. If a student is living on-campus, their belongings will likely be covered under their parents homeowners policy. Most policies have “away from home” coverage that will protect a student’s possessions while living on campus.
If a student is choosing off campus living and paying rent, student rental insurance is a good idea. Renters insurance will not only cover a student’s expensive electronics, clothing, books and furniture, it can provide liability coverage in case someone would get injured inside of the apartment. With the presence of roommates and friends over for social gatherings, student rental insurance can provide financial protection and peace of mind.
The good news is that renters insurance is very inexpensive. Many companies will even offer discounts if you already have auto insurance with them. Contact your insurance company for more information.
