    What factors go into determining a renters insurance rate?

    While the average cost of renters insurance varies based on a number of components, these are common factors that insurance companies use to assess risk and determine your renters insurance rate:

    Location

    The location of the rental property includes state and ZIP code.

    Coverage

    The type of coverage you choose and how much personal property and liability protection you want your policy to cover.

    Deductible

    The amount of money you choose to pay out of pocket can affect your renters insurance premium.

    Bundle insurance policies

    Nationwide offers a variety of multi-policy discount options. Choosing to bundle auto and renters insurance from the same insurance provider can potentially lower your insurance premium.
