StoreRight Self Storage offers insurance protection for your belongings, through Bader Insurance. However, what about when your items are in transit? Please read the following article from one of our local insurance companies. I have paraphrased it a bit.
The average American makes 11.7 moves during a lifetime, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. So, if you’re one of the average Americans and are moving soon, check out StoreRight Self Storage in Lecanto, and enjoy the peace of mind; that your belongings will be in a clean unit, with the assurance that our facility has regularly scheduled pest control and 24 hour per day surveillance cameras; and also offers you insurance through Bader.
However, while your belongings are in transit to StoreRight Self Storage, here’s some helpful points to keep in mind:
If you’re using a professional mvoing company, verify that they’re insured and bonded to cover damage they be responsible for. Most movers limit their responsibility to basic damage amounts.
Note the condition of your items if you’re using a moving company. It’s important to know the value of any high-dollar items being moved. It’s a good idea to take photos of high dollar items and to get an appraisal before the move. Then if you have to make a claim, the original condition of the items will be documented.
If you’re packing and moving yourself with a rented truck, take a look at your auto insurance policy. Many policies will cover rented trucks, but only up to a certain weight. Better to check, don’t assume!
In a self-move, careful packing is critical. Also keep the truck locked up along the way. The more organized your are at the beginning of your move, the easier it will be to organize your unit at StoreRight Self Storage. You’ll thank yourself later!
