Self-Storage Insurance FAQs

What types of self-storage facilities can be insured?

Insurance coverage is available for a variety of self-storage facilities, including:

  • Traditional self-storage units
  • Climate-controlled storage facilities
  • Vehicle storage (boats, RVs, motorcycles)
  • Portable storage units
  • Multi-use storage centers with retail or office space
  • Specialized storage for high-value or hazardous items (subject to underwriting)

Do I need to be the property owner to apply for coverage?

No, you do not necessarily need to own the property to obtain insurance coverage. If you manage or lease a facility, you may still be eligible for insurance to protect your business operations, liabilities, and tenant agreements. However, coverage options may vary depending on ownership status and lease agreements.

Can I insure multiple self-storage locations under one policy?

Yes, many insurance companies we work with offer the option to bundle multiple self-storage locations under a single policy. This can simplify policy management, ensure consistent coverage across all locations, and potentially provide cost savings.

What are the benefits of insuring my self-storage facility?

Insuring your self-storage facility provides several key benefits:

  • Protection Against Property Damage – Covers buildings, fences, and storage units from risks such as fire, vandalism, or natural disasters.
  • Liability Coverage – Helps protect against lawsuits from third-party injuries or damages that occur on the premises.
  • Business Interruption Coverage – Provides financial support if your facility experiences downtime due to covered events.
  • Customer Goods and Sale & Disposal Liability – Helps cover tenant-related claims, such as disputes over damaged or stolen stored items.
  • Customized Coverage – Policies can be tailored to meet the specific risks and needs of your facility, ensuring optimal protection.

Application Process

What information do I need to provide for a quote?

To receive an accurate self-storage facility insurance quote, you will typically need to provide:

  • Facility Details – Location, size, number of units, and security features
  • Ownership Information – Name of owner/operator and business entity details
  • Current Insurance Information – Existing coverage details (if applicable)
  • Revenue & Occupancy Rates – Business financials may be required for certain coverages
  • Loss History – Any previous insurance claims or incidents
  • Tenant Agreement – Confirmation that tenants are required to maintain their own insurance coverage for stored property
  • Specific Coverage Needs – Types of protection you require, such as property, liability, or business interruption coverage

How long does it take to get a quote?

The timeline for receiving a quote varies based on the complexity of your request. In most cases, once you have provided all necessary underwriting information to us:

  • Basic quotes can be provided within 3-4 business days.
  • More complex policies requiring customized coverage usually take around 7-10 business days.
    • If needed, we can expedite the process to meet closing deadlines.
    • More complex underwriting requirements may extend the timeline.
    • Our team works efficiently to provide comprehensive coverage options as quickly as possible!

Is there a cost associated with requesting a quote?

No, requesting a quote is completely free. There are no obligations or fees associated with obtaining an estimate for your self-storage facility insurance.

Can I save my application and return to it later?

Yes, our online applications allow you to save your progress and return later to complete it at your convenience. If you are submitting information via email or a consultation, our team can also work with you to finalize your application over multiple interactions.

Christian FretzTriCore Investment Group

Terry Campbell and his team provided insurance coverage for my 1st self-storage facility. The process became derailed mid-way through the transaction. However, Terry fought hard to correct the issues and get the process completed. Terry and his team are experienced, kind and communicative. I appreciated Terry educating me on the process and continuing to fight for me, even when it appeared he would not earn the business. Terry's reputation is making things right, no matter what. And that's what happened to me! I highly recommend Terry and Johnson Insurance.

Mark BieberOakville Self-Storage

I had a fantastic experience working with Terry and his team at Johnson Insurance. From the moment I first engaged them, they were very communicative and helpful. After an initial call and filling out an online questionnaire, Terry went to work on getting me quotes. Once those came in, he reviewed those quotes with me and helped me choose the package that best suited me and my business. He handed it over to his team for processing and we hit all of the deadlines without any stress or worry. The process couldn’t have been easier.

George FitzHenderson Mini Storage

“I engaged Terry Campbell of Johnson Insurance with a difficult request - to quote and bind an insurance policy for a self-storage acquisition (Des Moines, MSA) in under ten days. He and his team sprung to action, going above and beyond to immediately engage my buyer. He sourced multiple quotes and helped my client pick the best option for his needs/budget. Terry’s high-touch approach played a critical role in this deal transacting as scheduled!”

Jesse D. LukePartner, EquiCap Commercial

Everyone at Johnson Insurance has been really instrumental to keeping our (lender) deals on track. They push all the carriers to provide information to the fullest and are the fastest insurance agency that I have ever worked with when gathering the required insurance documents to close a loan. They are the best in the business!
