Toggle's value to Benefitfocus customers
More households are renting in the U.S. than at any time since the mid-1960s, but only 46 percent of them have renters insurance. Toggle has redesigned renters insurance to make it easier than ever to purchase this important protection. They provide customizable plans that suit different lifestyles and budgets. Renters can select from three subscription levels, priced as low as $5 per month. They are then able to customize their policy by toggling different coverage elements up, down, on or off, with optional add-on features, including:

• Credit LiftSM powered by RentTrack®, which reports on-time rent payments to all three major credit bureaus to help build a renter's credit score. On average, users see their credit scores increase by 29 points after just two months.
• Pet ParentSM offers protection for injuries caused by a renter's pet to another person, boarding costs if a covered loss makes their residence unfit to live in and damage caused by their pet.
• Side Hustle® covers items customers use to make extra income, like sound equipment for a DJ. This option also covers personal injury for social influencers and lost wages due to a covered loss.
• Technology Coverage protects personal technology devices in the event of damage or loss

All Toggle coverages include Always-On Portability, allowing renters' belongings to be covered at home, on the road, during a move or anywhere they travel in the world.
