They offer the same average price \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statefarm.com\/insurance\/home-and-property\/renters\/discounts\">$15 per month<\/a>. Typical renters premiums nationally average about $15\/month, but quotes vary by ZIP, coverage limits, and discounts (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuepenguin.com\">ValuePenguin 2025<\/a>). State Farm frequently prices near the low end in multi\u2011state comparisons when bundled with auto, while Allstate emphasizes stackable savings (bundling, paperless\/autopay, protective devices). Households that bundle may also leverage telematics: Allstate\u2019s Drivewise can yield sizable auto savings for safe drivers (up to about 40% potential where available), whereas State Farm\u2019s Drive Safe &amp; Save advertises up to 30% (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdwallet.com\">Drivewise potential<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statefarm.com\/insurance\/auto\/discounts\/drive-safe-save\">Drive Safe &amp; Save<\/a>). Both are financially strong, with Allstate\u2019s core P&amp;C subsidiaries rated A+ (Superior) by AM Best (<a href=\"https:\/\/ratings.ambest.com\/company\/overview\/120\">AM Best<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Allstate vs. Lemonade<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lemonade is far newer to the market \u2014 it was only founded in 2015. But it has quickly gained popularity. In the 2020 J.D. Power renters insurance study, Lemonade ranked first in overall satisfaction. Allstate ranked third. However, both companies receive more complaints than the industry average. When it comes to price, Lemonade is very competitive. Its rates start at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/this-is-how-much-renters-insurance-actually-costs\/#:~:text=At%20Lemonade%2C%20a%20basic%20renters,%2410%2C000%20of%20personal%20property%20coverage.\">$5 per month<\/a> but only include minimum coverage. When you increase the coverage limits, it gets closer to Allstate\u2019s $15 per month. Because it\u2019s newer to the market, Lemonade\u2019s financial strength hasn\u2019t been rated by AM Best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n            <span class=\"b-toc-anchor\" id=\"bottom-line\" title=\"The Bottome Line\"><\/span>\n    \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in the market for renters insurance, Allstate is a solid option. They offer good coverage options, and you can easily expand coverage with an add-on umbrella policy. You can also take advantage of discounts to save a significant amount on your premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allstate is a great company for first-time renters. The company\u2019s website provides online tools and resources that can help you learn about renters insurance and decide how much coverage you need. It\u2019s also easy to manage your policy online or through the mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest drawback to Allstate is its customer service. While it ranks well in overall customer satisfaction and claims satisfaction, it has more complaints than its competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n            <span class=\"b-toc-anchor\" id=\"questions\" title=\"FAQ\"><\/span>\n    \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Allstate Renters Insurance FAQ <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_5f9af7f542b9d\" class=\"block b-accordion\" data-js=\"b-accordion\">\n    <div class=\"b-accordion__container\">\n        <div class=\"b-accordion__header\">\n            <a href=\"#\" class=\"b-accordion__title\" data-tag='cta' data-tag-element-type='LINK' data-tag-location='ACCORDION' data-tag-outcome='INTERNALLINK' ><h3 class=\"b-accordion__title--h3\">What other property insurance does Allstate offer?<\/h3><\/a>\n            <span class=\"b-accordion__toggle chevron-arrow-down\"><\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"b-accordion__content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n            <p>Allstate\u2019s property insurance portfolio includes renters (HO\u20114), homeowners, and condo, along with auto, motorcycle, business and life insurance.

To make sure you can replace all of your belongings, you should purchase at least as much renters insurance coverage as the total value of what you own. To start, you can take an inventory of your belongings so you can properly estimate your coverage needs.
