Storage Insurance

Self storage is a great option when you need to store goods away from your home or businesses. Whether you are storing goods in the short or long term, you will require self storage insurance to protect against the specific risks associated with keeping your belongings in storage.

Self Storage Insurance is compulsory at most reputable storage facilities, unfortunately, much of the insurance which is offered by storage providers provides poor value for money in comparison to insurance from a specialist provider like Store-Insure.

• Shop around - When looking at storage insurance, it is a good idea to get some comparative quotes to make sure you are getting the right insurance for your needs.
• If your storage provider wants to see your cover, make sure you can get immediate access to proof of cover.
• Check that the insurance you are taking covers the specific kind of storage you are using (many insurers will not cover items stored in metal storage containers, for example).
• Make sure your storage provider is happy to accept insurance from a third-party insurer and that the cost of insurance is not ‘included’ in the storage rate.
• Think carefully about the level of insurance you need. Make sure you calculate the full replacement cost of the items you are storing - read this blog to see the perils of under insurance!
