Warm-up: take stock of your stuff

Until now, you may have been confined to coverage that wasn’t designed for your life. So before you can customize you must free your mind from other renters insurance companies’ boxes. Freeing your mind to do this involves admiring and taking stock of your stuff.

Gaze upon your things and visualize their true value. One T-shirt may be cheap, but your whole wardrobe adds up quick. Now throw some jewelry into the mix. Layer on your technology, furniture and collectibles. Extend beyond your stuff to yourself. Passions. Side hustles. Oddly specific enthusiasm for Portuguese snowless tobogganing. See? You are beyond valuable. And we are ready to proceed to the skills that blossom into customization mastery.

Tap into the cybernetic realm with Technology coverage

According to our Department of Completely Obvious Facts, Toggle Technology coverage is our members’ favorite category to customize. We love it so much we kindly asked tech-wizard Toggler Todd W. to make a movie about it.

Active coverage: the realm of physical activity

We move from the tech den to the sweat den. Active coverage is like a helmet for your active gear. It’s customizable to your level of active. (Hey, even if you’re 99% couch potato you’ve gotta have something that gets you moving.) It can cover everything from your basic yoga mat to your tricked-out road bike.

Add on protection for the cuddly realm with Pet Parent® coverage

We love cuddly companions of all types and breeds. We also know they can have some less-than-lovable moments. So we built Toggle Pet Parent coverage as something different from your standard pet insurance. This add-on is true pet renters insurance because it’s all about helping you protect yourself from the bite of any unexpected behavior.

Replacement Cost coverage: the realm of your stuff’s second life

This realm gives you the power of choice of how you want your stuff replaced. Our standard policy replaces items at their actual value today. That’s known as ACV.

This is the closest you’ll get to resurrecting things from the dead.

Hit the realm of the open road with Toggle Auto

We had so much fun reinventing renters insurance we decided to give car insurance the same treatment. Toggle Auto offers the same powers of customization as our renters insurance. We gave it swiftness with quotes that update in real time and coverage options that we think fit with the roads of today. Take a look under the hood before it rolls out to your state.
