Seventy-one percent of Americans think renter's insurance costs more than $250 per year, with 22% of that group pegging the costs at $1,000 per year or more. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the average cost is actually just $187 per year."Many Americans don't realize that they could be on the hook for potentially thousands of dollars if they go without renter's insurance," said Laura Adams insuranceQuotes.com senior analyst.
