Title: Heard that Self Storage Unit Insurance might include
Post by: bwd111 on August 31, 2011, 11:00:37 AM
Like they do on loans,etc to pay for a unit up to a year so you wont loose in an auction. (auction preventaive insurance)if you loose your jobs or what not. I will look for the article. Guess since auction buying is ever so popular now-a-days the insurance companies want a piece of the pie. Maybe as an incentive the storage companys will offer 6-1 year of the insurance to get future tenants business.

They are just trying to cash in on the popularity and incrase revenue.  If people can't pay for the locker, how are they going to pay for insurance also.

It's like Aflac - if you can hardly pay your insurance and bills now how are you going to pay them the premiums.  Same with the storage units.  It may save a few lockers but don't see it limiting the supply too much.

I doubt if it would be a big seller. After all, most people do not place their belongings in a storage unit thinking they might lose them for non payment.

Same with loans, people dont ever think they will loose those either, Or get full auto coverage cause they think they will never get in a wreck. Or earthquake,flood insurnace for there homes. Maybe its more to keep them aware of what could happen, use the old fear factor.
