Lemonade Renters Insurance Review

The fastest and most affordable renters insurance, with a 90-second sign-up, AI-powered claims and the Giveback program.

By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked September 29, 2026.

Our verdict

Price is the case for Lemonade: policies start at $5 a month, average $16, and claims can be paid in as fast as 3 minutes. What caps it is reach and service, with sales in only 45 states plus DC and a higher-than-average complaint rate to state regulators. Confirm your state before you quote.

Skip it if you live outside its 45 states plus DC, or if a low complaint rate matters more than price.
