Do I Need Insurance for Self Storage? Explained

When using self storage, you need suitable protection arrangements in place for your goods. Some customers choose to use their own insurance, while others opt for StoreProtect.

What is StoreProtect?

March Self Store offers an enhanced liability protection service called StoreProtect.

If you opt for StoreProtect, your goods will be protected up to the Maximum Replacement Value declared on your contract, in line with our StoreProtect terms and conditions.

Can I use my own insurance?

Yes. You can arrange your own insurance for your goods instead of using StoreProtect. If you choose to do this, you are responsible for ensuring that your insurance remains valid, provides suitable protection for goods held in self storage and, where required by your insurer, lists our facility as an insured location.

Why do I need to declare the value of my goods?

If you opt for StoreProtect, you must declare the Maximum Replacement Value of all goods being stored.

It is important that this value is sufficient for all items being stored. If the Maximum Replacement Value you provide is not sufficient for all items being stored, our liability shall be proportionately reduced.

In summary

Whether you use StoreProtect or arrange your own insurance, suitable protection must be in place before your goods are stored with us.
