Garage Site Insurance - Specialist Cover for Garage Sites

Since 2011, Quote Monkey has arranged specialist insurance for garage owners and property owners across the UK. Garage Site Insurance is designed for people and organisations that own a site containing one or more garages, lock-up units or garage blocks that may not be covered by a standard home insurance policy.

This type of policy can help protect the buildings on the site against insured risks such as fire, theft, vandalism, storm and flood damage, helping you avoid unexpected repair or rebuilding costs.

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

Garage Site Insurance for Let Garages

Garages on a site may be let to tenants for private storage use, and cover can remain in force where the garages are used for normal private purposes. This can be useful where you own a garage compound, a row of lock-ups or a site rented to local residents.

No cover is provided if any 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 a garage, this should be checked before arranging cover.

Examples of Garage Site Insurance Claims

Storm Damage - High winds lift sections of garage roofing across the site.
Vehicle Impact - A vehicle damages a garage door, boundary wall or site gate.
Theft and Break-In - Intruders force entry and damage doors, frames or walls.
Escape of Water - A burst pipe causes damage to insured garage structures.
Falling Trees - A falling branch damages a roof, wall or garage entrance.

Policy Ownership - What Name Should the Policy Be In?

The policy should be arranged in the correct legal name of the garage site owner or ownership body. This helps ensure that the cover reflects the correct insurable interest if a claim is made.

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

If the garage site is jointly owned, held through a company, or subject to a financial interest, getting the policy name correct from the outset helps avoid complications later.
