Generally, customers' stored property is not insured by the self storage facility. Therefore, it is your responsibility to insure your stored goods. MiniCo Insurance covers losses due to events beyond the self storage facility's control such as burglary and natural disasters (see below for details).
Homeowner policies may not provide adequate coverage protection for items stored away from home, such as property kept in a self storage unit. For coverage clarification, you should inquire with your insurance agent or company. MiniCo customer storage insurance is specialized, excess, short-term protection for stored items.

No. MiniCo Insurance does not provide coverage for loss or damage caused by, resulting from, contributed to or aggravated by flood, surface water, waves, tidal water or tidal wave, overflow of streams or other bodies of water, or spray from any of the foregoing, all whether driven by wind or not.

Almost any personal property and some business property a customer stores is eligible for insurance coverage. The following goods are not covered under this policy and are automatically excluded: accounts, deeds, bills, currency, evidence of debt, securities, money, notes, jewelry, watches, precious stones, furs and garments trimmed in fur, and boats or motorized vehicles. Some business inventory is also not covered (call your MiniCo Insurance representative for details). Coverage may also be declined on exotic, imported or high-value contents.
