This looks pretty decent. I would suggest the following:

  • Remove identity theft coverage. This should be covered on your primary residence policy and is redundant here.
  • $100,000 liability coverage is low. I always encourage clients to get at least $300,000 so you can qualify for an umbrella policy if needed. $500,000 or $1 million would be even better. 
  • Limited water damage coverage caps water damage to $10k - anything beyond that is on you. I always look for full water damage (coverage up to your dwelling limit) but sometimes it isn't cost efficient. 

I hope that helps!

    @Dimitri Paspalaris  The 2 things that stick out for me are your liability and medical payments coverages.  They are too low.  Liability should be at least $300,000 and medical at least $3000 ($5000 is better).  The cost to increase these coverages is very low - probably less than $40.

    I would also add sewer and drain backup coverage (terms vary: water backup and sump discharge).  Water spreads very quickly and can cost thousands to repair.  Get some peace of mind for about $25.  Good luck!

    @Jared Townsend

    Gotcha on the 300k, I do not have a primary residence yet. Will ask about the water damage thanks.

    @Deb S.

    will ask about the medical liability increase and the sewer/drain thanks

    @Dimitri Paspalaris You should be able to get an umbrella policy without owning a primary residence. You would just need a renters insurance (HO4) policy in place.

    Completely agree with everything that has been said previously.  I've noticed a lot of insurance agents are willing to give lower coverage to try and "win" your business.  It's much better to spend the extra money and get the proper protection.  Good Luck!
