When you are looking into getting a storage unit, it can give you peace and mind. Storage units help free up space at home and keep those seasonal items out of needed space. Many people don’t realize that when you get a storage unit getting insurance on it is a good idea. While some insurance policies can cover a storage unit, they do not always cover the full amount of your storage unit. A standalone storage unit insurance policy can give you a little more peace and mind from the for the following situations.
- Seasonal Weather Change: Storage facilities do their best to provide weather-resistant storage options, like climate controlled storage units. There are some cases where extreme or unpredictable weather events can occur and can damage your storage unit. If your homeowner’s policy has an off-premises clause, then your storage unit should be covered by the same weather related events as your home. Make sure to review your policy, certain types of weather damage may not be covered. With standalone storage insurance it can cover all damages, like flooding.
- Damage Protection: Weather isn’t the only thing that can be hazardous to your storage unit. Things like pest, mold, and mildew are also things that may not be covered by your home or renter’s policy. Many storage facilities require you to have renter’s insurance or get insurance for your storage unit. Here at Milt’s Mini Storage we do not require you to have insurance but do provide a way to get insurance.
