Storage is a convenient solution for keeping your belongings safe, but forgetting to insure stored items can leave you vulnerable to unexpected losses. Whether it’s due to natural disasters, theft, or accidents, insurance provides peace of mind that your valuables are covered. In this post, we’ll explain why storage insurance matters and how Perfect Moving & Storage helps you safeguard your items.

Why Storage Insurance is Essential

Without insurance, your belongings may not be fully protected. Here’s why having coverage matters:
  • Unforeseen Incidents
    Fires, floods, or other unexpected events can damage stored items.
  • Theft Risks
    While storage facilities are secure, theft is still a possibility.
  • Accidental Damage
    Items can occasionally be damaged during handling or transport.
  • Value Preservation
    High-value items need coverage to ensure replacement or repair costs are reimbursed.

What Storage Insurance Covers

Here’s what a typical storage insurance policy may include:
  • Natural Disasters
    Protection against damage from fires, floods, or storms.
  • Theft and Vandalism
    Reimbursement for stolen or damaged items due to break-ins.
  • Accidental Damage
    Coverage for items damaged during transport or storage.
  • Specified Value Items
    Options for additional coverage for high-value belongings.

How to Ensure Proper Coverage

Follow these steps to ensure your stored belongings are fully insured:
  • Review Your Homeowner’s or Renter’s Policy
    Some policies include limited coverage for items stored off-site.
  • Consider Supplemental Insurance
    Purchase a storage-specific policy if your current coverage isn’t sufficient.
  • Document Your Items
    Create an inventory with photos and descriptions of your stored belongings.
