Lemonade

The Home Insurance Guide

Overall Personalized Rating: 4.4/5 (Very Good)

Overall Personalized Rating: 4.5/5 (Excellent)

Summary

In an industry known for being stodgy, Lemonade stands out with a decidedly high tech approach to home insurance. Lemonade heavily utilizes artificial intelligence and data science rather than humans in evaluating consumers. The benefit of automating the process is that you can get a quote and policy in just a couple of minutes. That automated, streamlined approach continues as a consumer. You can file a claim in three minutes, have that claim analyzed by an algorithm, and have the money wired to your bank; all without human intervention.

Key Benefits

  • Get a quote and policy in minutes
  • File claims in three minutes and quickly get money wired to your bank
  • A company with a conscience: each year the company compares its payouts on claims to its loss reserves and if there's money left, pays the excess to charity
  • Strong choice for renter's insurance
