The best Storage Unit Insurance for your storage unit rental needs
If it’s worth keeping and storing, it’s worth insuring.
Having the right storage insurance is crucial when storing personal belongings. Storage unit insurance for renters safeguards your possessions against unexpected events such as theft, damage, or natural disasters. Unlike traditional insurance coverage, Storage Protectors’ tailored approach guarantees that your stored belongings are protected by a specialized policy that goes beyond standard coverage.
Whether you’re renting a self-storage unit or using mobile storage, our renter’s insurance delivers comprehensive protection tailored to storage-specific risks. From temperature fluctuations to potential water damage, theft, or mishandling, your belongings remain fully protected.
At Storage Protectors, we make it easy to get the coverage you need. Within minutes, you can request a quote, choose a policy that suits your requirements, and have comprehensive protection for your stored items.
Why Do You Need Storage Unit Insurance As a Tenant?
As a renter, storage unit insurance is essential to protect your items against potential risks such as theft, damage, and natural disasters wherever they are (during transit, in the mobile unit, or the self-storage unit). While storage facilities are designed to provide a secure environment, unforeseen events can still pose a threat to your valuables. This is why many facility owners opt for comprehensive storage facility insurance to safeguard their property and mitigate liability risks.
Potential Risks Renters Face:
- Theft: Despite high security, break-ins can happen in storage facilities.
- Damage: Accidents like fires or water leaks can damage your belongings.
- Natural Disasters: Events such as floods or earthquakes can cause unexpected damage.
Without proper insurance coverage, you risk significant financial loss. Storage unit insurance for renters bridges this gap by providing comprehensive protection and peace of mind.
Why Not Homeowner's Insurance?
When it comes to protecting your stored belongings, homeowner’s insurance may not be your best option. Speak with your homeowner insurance brokerage to clarify their policies and deductibles. Most homeowners’ plans come with high deductibles, while Storage Protectors offers a much lower deductible. With our online tenant insurance options, renters get fast, easy access to comprehensive coverage that’s more suited to their needs.
Additionally, claims made through your homeowner’s policy can result in rate increases of up to 17% for as long as seven years. With Storage Protectors, your renter’s insurance acts as primary coverage, meaning it never impacts your homeowner’s policy or causes rate hikes.
The storage unit insurance policy is independent and eliminates this from happening. Sometimes, this coverage will be limited in duration, often lasting only 30 days.
