Goods In Storage Insurance
Self-storage insurance you can trust…
We offer truly flexible storage insurance policy – cover can be for any duration of up to 12 months with an option to add business equipment or fine art and antiques.
What is storage insurance?
Storage insurance is also known as self-storage insurance. This type of insurance covers your belongings if they are stored away from home or business premises. Moreover, our policy also automatically covers goods in transit to and from the storage location.
Contents in storage insurance will secure your property in a wide range of storage types, such as externally stored metal containers.
Why do I need storage insurance?
Self-storage insurance is compulsory whilst using reputable storage facilities. If your belongings are stored away from your home or business premises, it is less likely that your valuable possessions are covered by your household or business insurance.
If you want to keep your items protected from damage, theft, flood or any other unexpected problems you need separate insurance for your storage unit.

Possible Extensions
Fine art, antiques and collectibles in storage

Works of art can be lost or damaged for a wide variety of reasons with damage during transit being the most common so our policy will cover this too.
Musical Instruments in storage
Your instruments are probably your prized possessions and they are very valuable. Musical Instruments are expensive pieces of equipment and whilst they are fairly safe whilst being kept at home, as soon as they are placed into storage the chances of loss, theft or damage may increases.
Sports or leisure equipment in storage
If you own large pieces of sports equipment such as kayak, kite surfing gear, snowboard, skis or golfing equipment you may consider keeping them at a self-storage location. While this is automatically covered by our storage insurance policy we would suggest you to specify every expensive item to avoid disappointment in the even of a claim.
Business equipment and/or stock

Getting adequate cover in place will put your mind at ease, knowing that your equipment can be easily and quickly replaced if it is damaged during transit or stolen from self-storage unit.
