I tried researching online on my own, but every company's site required me to answer *many* questions before it would give a quote, and I didn't know if I was checking with *all* available insurance providers. (Turns out I wasn't.) As it happened, I came across an article about finding insurance, and it recommended contacting an *independent* insurance broker, and that led me to finding Avail Insurance Solutions. Avail wound up finding a renter's insurance provider and one for earthquake coverage; the combined premiums totaled about the same as what my new, higher rate would have been for renters coverage only. So, I'm very happy with Avail's service.
