Insuring Your Self-Storage Center

Owning and operating a self-storage center can be a rewarding job if you enjoy working with people and helping them protect their assets. However, like all businesses, self-storage centers face multiple risks each day. Storms, fires, floods, theft, vandalism and even customers skipping out on rent can cause your business to suffer. Insurance policies written specifically for self-storage centers can help mitigate these risks and protect your business from financial losses.

It's important to work with an independent insurance agency that is well-versed in the industry and understands the risks that have the greatest impact on your success. With this knowledge under his or her belt, your agent can write you a self-storage center insurance policy, which may include some of the following coverage options:

Property: Protects physical assets owned by the business, such as buildings, office furniture, computers, fencing and more.
Liability: Protects the business if it's held legally liable for the injury or property damage to a customer or other third party.
Customers' Goods Legal Liability: Protects the business in the event that a customer claims damage to his or her stored goods at the hands of the center. If your center offers mobile storage options, this coverage may extend to goods stored off-premises and in transit.
Sale and Disposal Liability: Protects the business in the event of a claim of negligent acts during the lock-out, sale, removal or disposal of a customer's property. This is often in regards to the removal of goods belonging to a customer who has not paid rent.
Resident Managers' Personal Liability: Protects on-site resident managers from liability risks pertaining to non-business activities.
Umbrella: Adds a blanket of additional liability coverage over all underlying policies.

Since you're committed to helping your customers protect what they value, you deserve an insurance agency that is committed to protecting your interests as well. Talk to your agent today about the best coverage options to protect your business, employees and customers.
