Goodcover

Goodcover’s mission is to build a community of members enjoying financial peace of mind at the lowest possible cost. Our first service offering is better Renters Insurance at half the cost of legacy providers. To reinvent the insurance experience we adopted a cooperative model to put Members first and introduced a radical idea – money not needed to pay claims is returned back to our Members through our Annual Dividend. We believe premiums are for your protection, not to fatten our profit. Bundled with our easy digital-first experience and human touch support, Goodcover is insurance designed for the modern era.
