Compare Quotes on Equal Terms
Use one row per quote so a low premium is not hiding a higher deductible, lower limit, or different valuation method.
- Use the same rental address and effective date for every quote.
- Match the same personal-property and liability limits.
- Record actual cash value versus replacement cost.
- Write down exclusions or endorsements that change the comparison.
- Save the quote date and final policy form.
Decision record
Make the checklist produce evidence
A checked box is useful only when it points to a document, decision, or unanswered question. Add the date, policy or quote identifier, and the location of supporting records so the checklist can be reviewed later.
| Record | What to capture | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Document | Policy, lease, receipt, photo, letter | Store a copy outside the rental |
| Decision | Selected limit, deductible, valuation | Record why it fits the household |
| Open question | Who must answer and by when | Do not convert uncertainty into a fact |
Use this record for Policy Comparison Checklist, then verify the answer in the current policy or with a licensed insurance professional.
