How much is renters insurance in Vermont

The average cost of renters insurance in Vermont is $166 a year, and the average monthly cost is $14. That's for a policy with personal property coverage of $40,000, liability coverage of $100,000, and a deductible of $1,000.

What you pay for renters insurance may differ from your neighbors because it depends on factors specific to each person: the property you want to insure, extra coverage options you add, and the deductible amount you choose.

"The number one thing that's most important is to get good liability. A renter's policy will default to $100,000 liability," Josiah Hatch, an insurance pro with Bender Hatch Insurance in Boston, said. "It costs next to nothing to go from $100,000 to $500,000. I want to say it's probably 10 bucks a year. It's really cheap to get a lot of extra coverage. I always recommend getting the most liability you can because that's, at its core, what insurance is all about: the worst-case scenario."
