How Much Does Tenant Insurance Cost at APOLLO?

What does tenant insurance cost at APOLLO?

APOLLO tenant insurance policies start at $13/month, but your exact price is calculated instantly when you get a quote at apollocover.com/quote/tenant — it takes under two minutes and requires no phone call or agent.

What affects your price?

No two policies are priced exactly the same. Your premium is based on a combination of factors specific to you:

  • Where you live: Densely populated urban areas or neighbourhoods with higher rates of theft or claims tend to have slightly higher premiums.

  • Your coverage limits: The higher your contents, liability, and ALE limits, the higher your premium. Choosing only what you need keeps costs down.

  • Your deductible: A higher deductible lowers your monthly premium — but means you pay more out of pocket if you ever make a claim.

  • Optional add-ons: Enhanced water coverage, Tenant Shield, and APOLLO+ all add a small amount to your premium.

  • Payment method: Annual payment is typically cheaper than 12 monthly payments across the year.

  • Claims history: If you've made multiple claims with previous providers, your premium may be higher.

  • Building type and floor: Apartments, houses, and condos each have different risk profiles; even the floor you're on can be a factor.

Monthly vs. annual payment

You can pay for your policy monthly or in one annual lump sum. Choosing an annual payment saves money overall — monthly payments are spread across 12 instalments and include a financing fee, and typically add up to slightly more than the annual price. Either way, your first payment is charged on the day you purchase, regardless of when coverage starts.
