Although we ensure all our stores are covered by the required property and liability insurance - for example, against natural disasters - you are still required to take out a separate insurance policy to cover your stored items against loss or damage.
Our rental prices don’t include insurance coverage for your stored goods, as the insurance premium depends on the total value of the items you are storing.
Every customer stores belongings of different value, so insurance needs vary.
You can insure your items conveniently through a tailored insurance policy created specifically for Shurgard customers by the insurance broker Marsh.
Alternatively, you may choose your own insurance provider. Conditions and coverage vary, so please check with your insurer directly.
The Marsh insurance policy covers direct loss of or damage to your stored items caused by:
In the unlikely event your storage unit is affected by one of these risks, you may claim up to the insured amount stated on your insurance certificate - provided the items were permitted for storage at Shurgard and all policy terms and conditions are met.
More information in our Insurance Terms & Conditions.
The monthly premium depends on the insured value of the items in your unit.
If you’re storing higher-value items, we can arrange bespoke insurance through our broker.
