I always had my renter's insurance through the same company that had my auto policies. Nowdays, I do the same with my homeowners policy.
I had Farmer's several years ago, when my garage got burglarized. They were kind of a PITA to deal with, (stupid claim's examiner), but they did pay off. I just had to provide "acceptable proof" on much of my custom salt-water fishing equipment before he would pay. I guess it was understandable, since all he had to work with was a Bass Pro catalog, and that doesn't cover what I had...I had to provide him with a suitable catalog so he'd understand what was what...otherwise, "they dun good".
