Here’s how to calculate what you need.
Personal property coverage

Coverage ranges from $3,000 to $200,000. Think about how much you’d spend on temporary housing, meals, and other expenses if your rental became unlivable due to covered damage. Spending just one week in a Irvine hotel will run you $1,412*, so factor in your local costs.

Who needs renters insurance in Irvine?
Renters insurance is one of the smartest investments any renter can make. Here’s how a handful of Irvine residents benefit from coverage:
UC Irvine students
College is expensive enough without replacing stolen laptops or textbooks. Your landlord’s insurance won’t cover your belongings, but renters insurance will, including that expensive textbook collection and research materials. Plus, you’re covered if someone gets injured during study sessions at your place.
Tech professionals
Working for Irvine’s many tech companies means you have valuable personal electronics at home. Renters insurance protects your gaming systems, laptops, and furniture from theft or certain water damage, plus covers liability if colleagues visit your place. It’s smart protection for Orange County’s tech hub.
Young professionals
Your laptop, furniture, and professional wardrobe are investments in building your career in one of California’s most planned communities. Renters insurance protects them from theft, water damage from upstairs neighbors, and covers liability if someone gets hurt in your space. For less than your monthly parking fees, you’re protected.
International students
Studying at UCI or other local institutions while adjusting to life in America means protecting your investment in belongings. Renters insurance covers your electronics, furniture, and personal items from theft or damage, plus liability protection if fellow students visit your apartment.
Remote workers
Irvine’s planned communities and excellent infrastructure make it perfect for working from home. Renters insurance covers your personal electronics and home office furniture whether you’re renting in Woodbridge or Spectrum. Many policies even include temporary housing coverage to keep your setup uninterrupted.
