We can provide cover for your Business Goods in Storage and this policy would also cover all of your normal goods and public liability at the same time.

If you have Business Goods stored in a self storage unit, it's important to ensure that they are properly insured in case of damage or loss. Many self storage facilities offer insurance options for their tenants, but the coverage may vary depending on the provider and the terms of the policy.

When it comes to Business Goods specifically, it's important to make sure that they are properly valued before obtaining insurance coverage. This may require getting an appraisal from a qualified appraiser who can determine the value of the items based on their age, rarity, and condition. Once you have a valuation, you can work out the correct sum insured to ensure that if the worst were to happen you would be adequately covered.

It's also important to understand the terms and conditions of your insurance policy, including any exclusions or limitations on coverage. For example, some policies may exclude coverage for damage caused by flooding or earthquakes, while others may have limits on the amount of coverage available for certain types of items.

Overall, if you have valuable Business Goods stored in a self storage unit, it's important to take the time to ensure that they are properly insured to protect against potential loss or damage. Be sure to do your research and work with a reputable insurance provider to find the coverage that's right for your needs.

Component parts: These are the individual parts that are used to assemble a finished product. Examples of component parts include engines, transmissions, and computer chips.

Maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO) supplies: These are goods that are used to maintain or repair equipment or facilities. Examples of MRO supplies include tools, lubricants, and cleaning supplies.

Capital goods: These are long-lasting goods that are used to produce other goods or services. Examples of capital goods include machinery, vehicles, and buildings.

Industrial supplies: These are goods that are used in the manufacturing process, such as chemicals, industrial gases, and welding supplies.

Packaging materials: These are materials used to package finished goods for shipment, such as boxes, bags, and wrapping materials.

Office supplies: These are goods that are used in the day-to-day operation of a business, such as pens, paper, and printer ink.

As well as covering your Business Goods we can also cover general items under the same policy.

Generally, self-storage insurance covers the following types of contents:

Personal property - This can include furniture, clothing, appliances, electronics, and other personal items that are stored in the unit.

Valuables can also be included in the policy such as Gold, Silver, and works of art amongst others.

Business inventory - Self-storage units can be used for storing business inventory, such as retail stock, equipment, and documents we cover these in the same way and under the same policy so there is no need for a second policy.

QuoteMonkey Self Storage Insurance Public Liability Insurance is included automatically in all of our policies

Self-storage unit renters' public liability insurance is a type of insurance policy that provides coverage for damages or injuries caused by the renter of a self-storage unit to third parties while they are on the premises of the storage facility. This type of insurance is typically purchased by the renter of the self-storage unit and is designed to protect the renter from liability claims brought by visitors to the unit.

Self-storage unit renters' public liability insurance can cover a wide range of incidents, including slip-and-fall accidents, property damage, and injuries caused by negligence on the part of the renter or their agents.
