The Importance of Storage Insurance

There are no “one size fits all” policies when it comes to insurance. As the owner of a storage facility, your insurance needs may be different from all the other self storage businesses. You must make sure that your facility, employees, monthly income, and legal rights, are protected at all times.

Who Needs Self-Storage Facility Insurance?

Any business owner that stores possessions for others should consider this coverage. Whether you have separate areas or lockers, mobile storage units or store things out in the open like RV’s or boats, it is vital to protect your interests.

What Are Some of the Standard Policy Provisions?

When you take out a Self Storage Insurance policy, you may receive the following coverage:

Legal liability for customer’s goods – this protects you, should items in your facility become damaged, lost, or stolen. This includes costs to defend your case in court.
Legal liability concerning the disposal and sale of customer goods – When someone fails to pay rent or abandons property, you have the legal right to sell those things in most states after 30 days, (with proper notice according to state statutes). However, things can go wrong during the process and items may become damaged and there may be disputes with customers. This type of coverage protects you against legal claims made by customers.
Additional Coverage

Because you own a business, you need protection the same as any other local business. For example:

Loss of income
General Liability Insurance – covers issues like personal injury and negligence
Employee insurance – if you have several employees you may wish to offer Workers compensation benefits
Fire Department service charges – some fire departments may charge for services to businesses
Removal of toxic materials
Landscape – you might have trees, bushes, or other landscape items that can become damaged.
Umbrella policy – covers a large number of legal liability issues, not normally covered in standard business liability policies.
