You will need to check with Geico to determine the exact coverage you have. However, most standard renters policies include the following:

Many insurers offer additional coverage options that can be added to your policy, beyond the basic coverage.

- Most renters policies do not cover flood, earthquake, or any other coverage for natural disasters.
- Home workers who are subject to business liability or merchandise coverage
