Your jewlery coverage is 1k per year for just an engagement ring? That seems high.

We switched from USAA which tried to claim our house was 1 million to rebuild and wanted $1900/ year w/o engagement ring.

We picked erie which is always in the top 4 best reviews, has no hurricane deductable and great coverage.

We ended up switching not just our primary but everything from USAA to erie (5 policies auto, 2 rentals and primary) and saved probably about 40-50%


Also note quotes are dependent on a lot of factors such as your claim history, credit scores, claims on the homes, if you have more than one policy also the insurance company has a rating on each home's risk based on claims of any owners, crime etc...

Or was there a claim on your house before you bought it? Same point as PP's would apply.

also, OP, have you ever had a claim? Mine was sky high when I first bought my house as I'd previously claimed on my renters insurance for a burglary. It went from 2500 to less than 1k in the space of two years once some time had passed since the burglary.

rebuild cost our house is insured for is about $230k. (Home value about $600k but mostly land). Policy costs about $1000 a year, including a jewelry rider covering about $10k, plus a $1000 deductible.

$800 on 550 house in southern California. 1500 if you include earthquake. Unless you live in hurricane country, I'd say you are paying too much.

900k, about $1500 a year. We opted for what's called "replacement cost" coverage. It costs a bit more but it provides what it says. Amazingly most policies don't.

$2800 for $3.5M house. Your deductible is probably too low.
