If it's worth storing, it's worth insuring

Although thankfully the chances of damage to your belongings while they’re in self storage are small, it is still highly advisable to take out storage insurance on them.

First things first, if you’re storing items from your home, check your current home contents insurance policy to see whether the items are covered when they are away from your property and for how long they’ll be covered when they’re away from your home. Not all policies cover this but some do so it’s worth checking this first. One thing to bear in mind however if your policy does cover your contents when they are away from home, is that you might have to give them notice that you’re moving the items, and wait for this to be approved before you can actually do it.

Be aware that your items are not automatically covered by insurance when at our facilities. You are advised to ensure they are covered by a current insurance policy.
