Thanks! Short answer, Months - but perhaps not in 2020. Definitely recommend you get renters insurance if you don't have it.

More info: We have to roll out state by state, meaning we need to get approved in a state before we can do business there. That can be a pretty tedious process. So although we are working on it, we don't really have a good estimate for when we'll be available in each one. Since our model is a bit... different... some state regulators may take more convincing. California is very consumer friendly, so we got along because our model helps people. But other states don't share that point of view.

That makes sense! I have renters insurance now but will be needing to renew within the next few months so I'll probably still have to go somewhere else for now but I'll keep checking back with Goodcover. Thanks for the reply and congrats on the launch!
Thanks!!
