  2. facility has a central station 24 hour monitored security and Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) system

It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure their facility meets the requirements listed above.

Why do I need contents insurance?

Your storage facility does not automatically insure the property you keep in storage. The SnapNSure™ Contents Program provides affordable contents coverage to add coverage for your belongings while in storage. You should purchase SnapNsure™ Contents Coverage if you have concerns about protecting yourself from potential losses associated with unexpected incidents.

Won’t my homeowner’s insurance cover my property while in your storage facility?

Your homeowner’s insurance may or may not cover your property while in storage. It is advisable that you consult your homeowner’s policy or insurance agent to see if it will be in your best interest to utilize your policy. In many cases, you may need to buy extra coverage or add a rider to your homeowner’s policy to insure property in storage. Additionally, homeowner’s policies have steep deductibles (typically $1,000 to $3,000) and lengthy surcharge periods (typically 3 years) that may deter you from filing claims.
