Locking the door behind you when you leave your home or apartment may seem like a no brainer, but according to a recent survey of 1,000 renters conducted by the Progressive® Group of Insurance Companies1, renters admit to leaving their doors unlocked an average of 16 times in the past year. What’s more, theft is the most common renter’s insurance claim at 45 percent and with an average claim value of $1,800, according to the experience of American Planned Insurance, a majority-owned partner of Progressive and one of the companies that writes renters insurance through the Progressive Home Advantage® program.

However, more than 3 in 5 renters (68%) don’t have insurance, counting 72 percent of Millennials. So, why aren’t renters buying insurance? A quarter (25%) of survey respondents think renters insurance is too expensive, when it can actually cost less than $20 per month. Beyond price concerns, 17 percent think the chances of something happening are slim, and 13 percent think they live in a secure building.

“There is a clear need to provide renters with better information so they can make a smart choice on renter’s insurance,” said Heather Day, general manager for Progressive Home Advantage. “From knowing the value of their belongings to what’s covered, we want to raise awareness to protect renters. With policies available at less than $20 a month, insurance should be an easy ‘yes’ for most renters, but many are still uncovered.”

The Progressive Corporation, an insurance holding company, provides personal and commercial property-casualty insurance, and other specialty property-casualty insurance and related services primarily in the United States. The company’s property-casualty insurance products protect its customers against losses due to collision and physical damage to their motor vehicles, uninsured and underinsured bodily injury, and liability to others for personal injury or property damage arising out of the use of those vehicles.
