Does storage insurance exist?

Currently, there is no insurance available for items in self storage.

Storage customers store items at their own risk.

The Self Storage Association of Australasia (SSAA) have been investigating and trying to arrange an Insurance policy in Australia to offer insurance cover for stored items.

At this stage, there is no insurer willing to offer the required coverage.

SSAA are continuing our work on a range of solutions to address both the hard insurance market and the complexity of offering customer goods insurance. The SSAA is working with existing insurers, brokers looking to develop new products, and independent consultants who have been engaged to advise the SSAA on alternative solutions. A feasibility study is underway to determine the most suitable alternatives for members and we aim to share more detailed information on completion of the study,
