Top Reasons Commercial Storage Insurance Is A Good Idea

If you’re storing any of your business equipment, products or paperwork away from your regular premises, they may not be covered under your current insurance protection. In this blog, we’re revealing the top reasons you should invest in commercial storage insurance.

1. Your regular home or business insurance doesn’t protect items in storage

It’s worth investing in commercial storage insurance as it will cover your belongings whilst they are stored in an approved storage facility, such as a container or self storage unit. If you don’t have insurance then your items will not be protected against costly risk-factors such as theft, damage or loss.

2. Protect your items whilst in transit

Storage insurance can also cover your possessions whilst in transit to and from a storage location. While storage providers, like Grantham Self Store, will always handle your items with the utmost care and responsibility, you can’t always plan for accidents or mishaps. However, insurance will give you peace of mind and that extra layer of protection for your business items.

3. Storage units are not automatically responsible for damage to your items

Unless you request a storage facility to add insurance to your package, it’s unlikely that insurance will be automatically arranged. When researching the best insurance policies for you, it’s important to explore your options and think about how much cover you require.

4. Financial protection against loss, accidental damage and theft

While our storage units in Grantham come with 24/7 security, surveillance and advanced fire and theft detection systems, accidents happen and if you’re not insured you may not be able to make a claim or retrieve the value of your commercial goods. However, if you have insurance you can rest assured that you have the financial protection you need in the unlikely event that something should happen to your belongings.
