Protect Your Belongings with Self-Storage Insurance
Your peace of mind is our priority. While our facilities are secure, no storage unit is completely immune to unexpected events like fire, water damage, or theft. Your homeowner's or renter's insurance may not fully cover belongings stored off-site, which is why securing a dedicated storage insurance policy is a critical step in protecting your valuables.
Why is Storage Insurance Essential? Storage insurance ensures you can repair or replace your property if it's damaged or destroyed while in storage. It provides a financial safety net for the unexpected, safeguarding your investment.
Key Coverage Considerations:
Be sure to carefully review any insurance policy to understand what is and isn't covered. Common considerations include:
- Motor vehicles: Stored cars, boats, or motorcycles are typically excluded and require their own separate auto insurance policy.
- Pest Damage : Damage from insects, rodents, or other vermin is often not covered. We recommend asking our facility management about their pest control measures.
- High-Value Items: Items like jewelry, fine art, collectibles, cash, and important documents often have limited coverage or require an additional rider on your policy.
- “Mysterious Disappearance”: Items that go missing without clear evidence of a forced entry may not be covered under a standard policy.
Taking the Next Step:
Some of our Partner storage facilities require proof of insurance before you can rent a unit. We strongly recommend consulting with your insurance provider to understand your existing coverage or exploring a reputable third-party storage insurance program to ensure your belongings are fully protected.
Being informed is the best way to ensure your stored items have the protection they deserve.
