You have taken a great step towards clearing your home of all of the things you rarely use but do not want to get rid of for one reason or another. Perhaps you are in the middle of moving to a larger house and just need a temporary space for the overflow, or perhaps you have inherited your grandparent's antique cherry bedroom set that you will not have room for until you buy your first home. Either way, you have made the right choice and have carefully chosen a storage facility - US Storage Centers in Memphis, in particular - and have carefully fit all of your treasured items inside. It is safe and secure, right? Already Covered? Check Your Paperwork! At any storage facility, the main goal is to keep your belongings safe from damage, theft, or other loss. However, accidents do happen, and when they do, the last thing you want is to not be able to replace lost items. Obviously there are some things, such as Grandma and Grandpa's bedroom set, that may have more sentimental value than actual monetary value, but you would still want to be able to replace things in the unlikely event that you suffer loss. What you may not know is that you may already have coverage for items that are being stored in storage facilities. Many homeowner’s and renter's insurance policies provide for coverage of belongings that are being stored away from your residence. It is worth a read-through of your current insurance policy to learn what coverage you may already have - and of course if you have questions about your policy, your insurance company would undoubtedly be able to provide you with any information you cannot find. Not Covered? If you do not have homeowner's or renter's insurance, or if your existing policy does not include coverage for belongings stored outside of your residence in a rented storage unit, it is worth asking your insurance company whether this is something that could be added. Chances are, it can, and the cost would probably be minimal. If it cannot be added, there are companies that handle these types of insurance needs that are as easy to find as a simple click of your mouse online.
