These online insurance companies can't really tell you anything with their online quotes. But if you are really serious then you would need to contact a insurance salesman or some sort of agent. They say, the typical million-dollar policy is around $250. Not affordable for the average person. And also remember that you have to have a reason for wanting a large policy like that to begin with.

Insurance carriers can refuse to insure you if you have an adverse claims history, it all depends on there underwriting guidelines.

Being in a more secure neighborhood may be enough to get you approved for coverage again. Also, the installation security enhancing measures such as burglar alarms and video monitoring devices can help lower your risk for being the victim theft or burglary again.

Any measures you take to reduce your risk factors will be looked on favorably by the insurance company of your choice. Some like the alarms systems will even get you a premium discount on your policy.

Claims are one of the first things they look at, no matter what type of claim, it does send up red flags. I would just keep checking with all the companies in your area and if not maybe they can refer you to a high risk company.

If you rent out part of your house how do you figure the amount of deductible expenses like utilities and insurance?

Tax Deductions for Partial RentalsHere is some advice from Wiki s community members:
  • If you rent part of your property, you must divide certain expenses between the part of the property used for rental purposes and the part of the property used for personal purposes, as though you actually had two separate pieces of property.
  • If an expense is for both rental use and personal use, such as mortgage interest or heat for the entire house, you must divide the expense between rental use and personal use. You can use any reasonable method for dividing the expense. It may be reasonable to divide the cost of some items (for example, water) based on the number of people using them. However, the two most common methods for dividing an expense are one based on the number of rooms in your home and one based on the square footage of your home. [See Publication 527 at IRS.gov for more information.]
  • IN the case of electrical use, install a separate electrical meter for the rental unit, and insist that the tenants have to put up the deposit to get the "power turned on" themselves, that way you are protected if they don't pay the electric bils. Same thing for telephone and cable tv services.

The answer completely depends on where the property is, how big it is, and all other kinds of actuarial data that insurance companies use.

If you don't know you're renting yet, just make up something similar to what you want to rent to get a ballpark number. Insurance agents can give you a quote in five minutes. Call more than one, but if you are comparing, make sure it's for the same coverages and deductibles.

Where you rent should have little bearing on getting coverage.
