But, these policies require larger deductibles\u2014anywhere from $250 \u2013 $1,000 per incident. Because of this, a renter\u2019s insurance policy often doesn\u2019t make sense for students who face far more common incidents like a cracked phone screen, a damaged laptop, broken sunglasses or headphones, or a stolen bike.\u00a0<\/p><p>AKKO\u2019s deductible is only $50, for incidents of damage or theft, meaning any student can afford to file a claim when something goes wrong,\u00a0<b>only pay $50<\/b>, and get their stuff fixed or replaced and on with their studies and life. The AKKO College Plan also includes coverage for damage from floods, fires, and break-ins! So in many cases, a student may not even\u00a0<i>need\u00a0<\/i>a renter\u2019s insurance policy if they have AKKO.\u00a0<\/p><p>Vehicle insurance is also already high enough when you\u2019re a student, and even auto-theft coverage doesn\u2019t actually give protection for the items that are\u00a0<i>inside<\/i>\u00a0a student\u2019s car \u2013 only the car itself. So, if your car is broken into\u2014 or even if your stuff is stolen\u00a0<i>out of your friend\u2019s car<\/i>\u2014you are covered with AKKO.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bb6af7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7bb6af7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Who We Are + Why we do it<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c71e26 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c71e26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>AKKO was created by students, for students.
