Why do I need contents insurance?
Your storage facility does not automatically insure the property you keep in storage. The TRAC Contents Program provides affordable contents coverage to add an extra layer of protection for your belongings while in storage. You should consider purchasing TRAC Contents Coverage if you have concerns about protecting yourself from potential losses associated with unexpected incidents.
What does The TRAC Contents Coverage cover?
Covered property includes personal belongings that you are storing within a storage facility, for which you are paying rent pursuant to a rental agreement. Covered causes of loss include fire or lightening, vandalism, burglary and water damage. Click here for a full list of covered causes of loss.
Won’t my homeowner’s insurance cover my property while in your storage facility?
Your homeowner’s 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.
What type of property is eligible for coverage?
Nearly all personal or business property you store is eligible for coverage.*
