I am looking for the best (low price, good coverage) renter's insurance for southeast Flordia. I have done some google searches, but am looking for what others use.

If you have other insurance (auto, health, etc...) through a company now - they would be my first choice for a quote. Many companies offer multi-coverage discounts, so having your "eggs in one basket" for purposes of insurance can save you money.
Barring that, I'd look at the big names (State Farm, Geico, Allstate, Nationwide, Travelers) and see what they offer. I've heard over and over again that renter's insurance is a "steal" relative to other types of insurance, often costing as little as $10 or $20 a month for coverage.
You're smart to get insurance since the average of all renters who have it according to some stats I saw recently is only 6%!!! I've seen tenants lose everything they own due to a fire or other catastrophe. The landlord's insurance almost never compensates the tenant for their losses unless there was negligence or other misconduct on the part of the landlord.

Try the company you have your car insurance with (if you have car insurance). Often, they will give you a discount since you already us them. I used State Farm when I had an apartment, it cost about $100/yr.
