I bought renter's insurance through Policygenius, and had a great experience. I knew I needed renter's insurance, but didn't know how much I needed, or with what features. Policygenius provided great advice about how the policy works and about how various features affect the cost. The site also helped me get a competitive rate, by prompting me to provide more details about my apartment and my building. I got from start to finish in 5 minutes, and I feel really confident that I was able to buy the right policy based on the information provided. Strongly recommend Policygenius to someone in the market for insurance!
