Featured

•

Quilt is for online shoppers & first-time buyers who want a simple experience that's approachable. It's easy to use - no salesy agents or overwhelming choices. And you can buy in minutes with no legalese. Renters & life insurance are first & already available across the US. More coming soon, like pet and travel insurance.

Does Quilt cover riders for high value items that usually require an appraisal, like engagement rings? Also, congrats on the launch!

@andygcook you getting engaged?

@andygcook Yup we do! You can schedule items like engagement rings đź’Ť for up to 50% of the amount of personal property coverage you have, or a $50k max for any single item.

@tjmahony Already am engaged :) Was mostly just curious how that worked and might be looking to switch my renters insurance.

I've had so many issues with traditional insurance companies. Their tech is so old 🙄 Excited to check out Quilt and see your demo at the Product Hunt Boston Meetup today!

@kunalslab Thanks for the comment! I would love to know your biggest pain points with traditional insurance if you are willing to share.

@itstcone signing up, knowing what's covered in your policy, and filing claims are the big three pain points for me. Had to deal with that last one recently and I probably spent 30 hours trying to deal with that one claim over 4 weeks 🤦

Hey guys, I’ve known the team @ Quilt for years so I'm excited to share this. Quilt is making renters insurance easy to buy (100% online) & understand (plain English and built for users, not lawyers). They're a group of modern product designers & devs and they feel like they were built today by actual humans, not 1950 by legalese-sharing fax machines.

I actually used quilt to get my renters insurance. Didn’t know you were local! Awesome job, team.

Pros:

Super quick application and approval

Cons:

I wasn't really sure who the underwriters were, and though our building doesn't require certain ones, some buildings do
