What is Jetty?

Jetty is is changing the way people get renters insurance. They believe renters insurance doesn't have to be complicated or expensive, and are working to educate people to help make insurance easy to understand.

Okay, what exactly is renters insurance?

To put it simply, insurance transfers risk from an individual to a company. Rather than taking on the risks and costs on your own, renters insurance protects you from life's misfortunes when you're renting an apartment or a home.

Why do I need renters insurance?

Even if you think you don't own a ton of stuff and your stuff isn't worth that much, your things have value that you might not appreciate until an accident happens. Have a TV? A computer? A bike? Any furniture? All of these things cost you money to purchase and might cost more than you think to replace. Renters insurance can help alleviate those costs by covering them for you in the event of a loss. Think of the choice as having the safeguard just in case or being left to cover a hefty bill on your own. Renters insurance just makes sense.

How much is my stuff really worth?

People typically underestimate the amount of valuables and the cost of their things by at least 15-20%. For the average renter, that equates to at least $3,000-$4,000 worth of possessions they're not accounting for. You may think your stuff isn't worth much, but think about it—your mattress ($1,000), your computer ($1500), your phone ($800), your TV ($1,200), even your IKEA couch ($600)...this quickly adds up to $15,000+.

Why Jetty?

Renters insurance can be confusing and Jetty believes it doesn't have to be. Many old-school insurance companies are stuck in the past and may even take advantage of the general population not understanding the terms and technicalities. Jetty doesn't do that—they break it down in a simple way and aim to be as transparent as possible so you aren't confused. They want you to actually understand what you're paying for and what is covered, because ultimately, renters insurance is about protecting you and your wallet.
