Business insurance

Insurance for Self Storage Providers

A self storage facility's risk sits in the property and in the goods on site. Property cover protects the buildings, gates and security infrastructure against fire and damage, and public liability is essential because customers come and go to access their units. You also need to be clear on the line between your cover and customers' own contents insurance, since you generally do not insure their stored goods. Add workers' compensation if you employ staff. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year.

Common questions

Self Storage Providers — insurance questions

Do I insure my customers' stored goods?

Generally no — customers are usually responsible for insuring their own stored contents, and your agreement should make that clear. Your cover focuses on the buildings, liability and the facility itself, so being explicit about the line protects you from disputes.

Why does a storage facility need public liability?

Because customers regularly come on site to access units, often handling heavy items, where injury or property damage is a real risk. Public liability responds to those claims. Cockatoo can help match you to a broker who understands storage facilities.
