Insurance for your belongings stored at Shurgard is compulsory. You can arrange this in two ways:

• By taking out the special insurance policy created for Shurgard customers.
  This affordable insurance costs as little as € 16 per month, depending on the value of your possessions. The majority of Shurgard customers opt for this insurance.
• Through your own contents insurance.
  The possibilities for insuring storage units vary per insurance company so it is advisable to ask your insurance company about the options.

That depends on the value, but you can insure the belongings stored in your storage unit for as little as € 16 per month.

The actual cost of your premium depends of course on the insured value of the belongings stored in your storage unit. See insurance prices and coverages.

The special Shurgard insurance policy covers direct damage to or direct loss of property during storage at the start and end of the rental period.

The insurance policy insures the contents of your storage unit at the insured amount as mentioned on your insurance certificate. That means that you can claim the insured value of the belongings you are allowed to store in your storage unit, in the unlikely event your storage unit is affected by fire, struck by lightning, incurs water damage, storm damage or theft occurs.

Please take into account that the maximum amount that can be received is the insured amount as mentioned on your insurance certificate, and that this amount will only be paid in full if all policy conditions are met. Therefore, take note of the conditions of your policy.
