Average renters insurance cost in Arizona

Renters insurance in Arizona averages $27 per month — about $324 per year — for a typical policy with roughly $30,000 in personal property coverage and $100,000 in liability. Your exact rate depends on your coverage limits, deductible, claims history and, in most states, your credit-based insurance score.

No state law requires renters insurance in Arizona — but landlords can and frequently do require it as a lease condition. Even when it's optional, going without it means one apartment fire or burglary could cost you everything you own, against a premium of roughly $27 a month.

Three moves reliably beat the state average: bundle renters with your auto policy (typically the single biggest discount), raise your deductible from $250 to $1,000 if you can absorb it, and compare quotes — carrier pricing for identical coverage varies widely, with the cheapest national carriers averaging around $14/month.
