🎓 College Move-In Season Is Around the Corner!
If your student is heading off to college this fall, here's a friendly insurance reminder:
Most students are bringing thousands of dollars worth of belongings with them:
💻 Laptops
📱 Phones
🎧 Headphones
🚲 Bikes and eBikes*
🛏 Furniture and personal items
Many families assume these items are automatically covered, but coverage may be limited depending on the situation.
That's why I often recommend a dedicated renters policy. It's one of the most affordable ways to protect a student's belongings and provide liability protection.
I especially like the Progressive Renters product with the HomeShield endorsement because it can provide additional benefits such as:
✔ Enhanced computer coverage
✔ Increased bicycle coverage limits
✔ Water backup protection
✔ Increased personal property limits for many common student belongings
These added protections can make a real difference when life happens.
*Parents of eBike Riders: Washington's new eBike regulations are now in effect. If your student is taking an eBike to school, let's make sure it's properly classified and appropriately insured.
