Packing up the car to drop your Bobcat off at Texas State?
Between hunting down apartment furniture and navigating moving day in San Marcos, don't overlook one small detail that can save your family a massive headache: Renters Insurance.
Many parents assume their home policy fully covers a student living off-campus, but relying on homeowners coverage comes with major hidden risks:
High Deductibles: Your home policy deductible might be higher than the cost of replacing a stolen laptop or bike.
Limited Off-Premises Coverage: Most home policies cap coverage for personal property stored away from the primary residence.
Rate Spikes: Filing a smaller claim for lost apartment gear under your home policy could raise your home insurance rates for years.
For about the price of two coffee runs a month (around $15–$20/mo), a standalone renters policy protects your student’s gear against theft, fire, and sudden plumbing bursts:
Laptops, iPads & electronics
Bikes & scooters
Furniture, clothes & textbooks
Protect their stuff—and your wallet—before classes kick into high gear.
