With its launch of renters coverage in Kansas, Esurance continues to expand its portfolio of products and services to reach the increasing number of consumers who want 24/7 customer service, an easy-to-use website, and simple online policy management.

In addition to coverage for policyholders' personal belongings and liability, typical renters coverage from Esurance includes financial protection for:

• Medical payments to others if injured on a policyholder's property
• Property damage to others if the policyholder accidentally damages a neighbor's property
• Additional living expenses for things like hotels and food if a policyholder is forced to live elsewhere temporarily due to a covered loss.
• Damage caused by incidents such as: theft, fire, lightning, vandalism, or weight of ice and snow.

Kansas tenants who choose to add the coverage to their Esurance car insurance quote or existing auto policy are also eligible for the Renters Plus® discount** on their auto insurance, which can offer additional savings.
