Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok (the free versions work), then replace the [highlighted brackets] with your details. Leave out account numbers and SSNs.

I rent a [UNIT TYPE] in [CITY, STATE]. My belongings would cost about $[ESTIMATE] to replace. Here are quotes I received: [PASTE QUOTES WITH LIMITS, DEDUCTIBLES, PRICES]. 1) Compare them in a table: personal property limit, replacement cost or actual cash value, liability, loss of use, deductible and price. 2) Flag gaps or exclusions to ask about (flood, earthquake, high-value items). 3) Recommend which to ask follow-up questions about and why.

What to expect, and what to do if they say no

What to expect

  • Quotes are usually instant online; prices vary a lot between insurers for the same coverage.

If they say no

  • Ask an independent agent to shop several insurers.
  • Check bundling with your auto policy.

What happened when people tried it

  • We haven't verified a real-world example for this one yet, so it's a tool guide plus a prompt. Tried it? Tell us what happened (link below).

Why this works

The problem: Renters often skip coverage or buy the cheapest policy without checking replacement cost or liability limits.

How AI helps: AI can help you estimate what your belongings are worth, compare quotes like-for-like, and flag gaps like actual-cash-value payouts.
