Self storage insurance cover

The safety and security of your possessions is important to us, and you can’t store without contents insurance. That’s why we do everything we can to make sure your things are safe and secure when you store with us.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your goods are insured to the correct value.  The insurance we provide covers your goods on a new for old basis.

We offer two options for insuring the contents of your storage unit:

1. Insurance cover through Ready Steady Store

• We are able to secure protection for your goods under our insurance policy, which is specifically created for self storage and provides wide cover including for some perils that are not normally covered under household insurance policies.
• The insurance available is also suitable for customers using our business storage solutions, and is provided by the Self Storage Specialist Brokers, Gallagher & Co. who are affiliates of the Self Storage Association (SSA) UK.
• The cost of cover depends on the value of your things, so get in touch for more information on pricing.
