# Why Can’t I Select Today as My Tenant Insurance Start Date?

If you're purchasing tenant insurance and can't select today's date as your coverage start date, this is expected.

We **do not offer same-day tenant insurance coverage**.
---

###### When Can My Coverage Start?

The earliest your tenant insurance coverage can begin is **the following day**.

This applies to:

* **Standard tenant insurance**
* **Custom tenant insurance quotes**

When selecting your effective date, choose a date at least **one day after the date you're purchasing your coverage**.

###### Planning Ahead?

If you're purchasing standard tenant insurance, you can select a start date up to **45 days in advance**. If you need a start date more than 45 days away, you'll need to request a **custom tenant insurance quote**.
