Garage Investment Insurance – Cover for Garage Investors

Since 2011, Quote Monkey has specialised in insurance for garages that are owned separately from the main home. Garage Investment Insurance is designed for people and organisations who own garages as an investment, whether the garage is rented out, held as part of a portfolio, owned by a company, or held within a pension arrangement.

This cover helps protect the physical garage building against risks such as fire, theft, vandalism, storm and flood damage, reducing the financial impact of unexpected repair or rebuilding costs.

Each policy also includes £2 million property owners’ public liability insurance, helping protect garage investors if a third party is injured or their property is damaged because of the garage.

Garage Investment Insurance for Let Garages

Many garage investments are rented to tenants for private storage use. This policy can be suitable where you own a lock-up garage, a small garage block or several garages that are let to local residents for normal private purposes.

No cover is provided if the garage is used as a business location, workshop, trade premises or commercial storage unit. If there is any uncertainty about how a tenant is using the garage, this should be checked before arranging cover.

Examples of Garage Investment Insurance Claims

Storm Damage – High winds lift sections of the garage roof, allowing rain to damage the structure.
Vehicle Impact – A neighbour accidentally reverses into the garage door, causing structural damage.
Theft and Break-In – Intruders force entry and damage the door, frame or wall.
Escape of Water – A burst pipe causes water damage to the garage structure.
Falling Trees – A falling branch damages the roof or wall of the garage.

Policy Ownership for Garage Investments

The policy should be arranged in the correct legal name of the garage owner or ownership body. This is especially important where the garage is held as an investment asset, owned by a company, jointly owned, or held within a pension arrangement.

Policies can be issued in individual names, joint names, company names, charity names, trust names, management company names and recognised pension ownership structures.

Getting the policy name correct from the outset helps ensure the cover reflects the right insurable interest if a claim is made.
