Storage insurance for your personal possessions

Many people utilise self-storage at different times in their lives. It may be that you need some temporary storage whilst you are moving house, are storing your possessions whilst completing building work or renovating your house, or perhaps you have simply run out of room at home.

Whatever the reason you are using self-storage - you will want to make sure that your personal possessions are well protected whilst they are being stored. After all, if your personal possessions are worth the cost of storage, they are worthy of being insured.

Self storage insurance for personal possessions from Store-Insure provides cover against the specific risks associated with storage, as well as providing cover whilst your possessions are in transit. Provided your possessions are kept in a secure, professionally managed storage location, our cover is available.

Our self storage insurance cover is available from just 1 month up to 18 months and can provide cover in a wide variety of storage locations, including external metal containers.

Do I really need storage Insurance?

Yes - Most reputable storage providers will insist that you take out storage insurance, many will even try and sell it to you! The storage facility will be insuring its own risks to the building etc. but this will not cover loss or damage to your possessions.  Your household insurance, generally speaking, will not extend to cover your possessions out of the home.
