Why They Matter & How They Work
When it comes to storing your valuable belongings, security isn’t just about cameras and locks, it’s about total peace of mind. That’s where secured storage protection plans come in. Whether you’re storing furniture, sentimental keepsakes, electronics, or business documents, knowing your items are financially protected against the unexpected makes all the difference.
In this blog, we’ll explain what secured storage protection plans are, how they work, and why choosing one, like StoreProtect™ from Purdie Worldwide, is a smart move for anyone using self-storage.
What Is a Secured Storage Protection Plan?
A secured storage protection plan is a service that covers the cost of replacing or repairing your belongings while they’re stored in a self-storage facility. It’s not the same as an insurance policy sold directly to the customer, but it offers enhanced liability coverage, meaning the storage provider accepts greater financial responsibility if your items are lost or damaged due to unexpected events.
At Purdie Worldwide, we offer this protection through StoreProtect™, developed in partnership with leading industry brokers.
What Does a Protection Plan Cover?
Even with the best security in place, like 24/7 CCTV, fire alarms, and restricted access, risks like fire, flooding, and theft can never be fully eliminated. A secured protection plan like StoreProtect™ gives you cover against:
- Fire and smoke damage
- Flooding and water damage
- Theft or forced entry
- Accidental damage in storage
This means that, should the unexpected happen, you’re not left out of pocket.
How Is the Protection Value Calculated?
When signing up for a plan like StoreProtect™, you’ll be asked to declare the Maximum Replacement Value (MRV) of your stored items. This is the current cost to replace your goods with brand-new equivalents, not their second-hand value.
Why this matters:
If you declare too low a value, any claim payout will be reduced proportionally. So it’s important to be realistic and thorough when calculating your MRV.
