Expanding Without Building

As budgets tighten to get through what we all hope is the worst of the recession, many large-scale and long-term building projects are being put on hold. Perhaps you are having trouble securing financing for your home renovation project, or your company or organization has frozen its construction budget, or the cost of cleaning up a building site to pass environmental standards is too high. Many people are finding a cheaper, more flexible solution with mobile storage units, keeping items onsite and accessible or at nearby warehouses. Once the economy recovers from its currently slump, hopefully you can put brick to mortar and create the permanent space you have been waiting for. In the meantime, make sure your stored goods are protected with mobile storage insurance until they are ready for moving day.

Don't Let a Move Interrupt Your Business

As commercial rents continue to fall, business owners of firms large and small are uprooting offices in search of less costly headquarters. While relocation may mean a smaller bottom line, it may also mean a bigger headache for both your company's staff and clientele. To help your move go more smoothly and reduce the risk of disrupting your day-to-day operations, invest in a mobile storage unit. Transition your company's products, furnishings, records, and equipment at a pace that will have the least impact on your services. Containers can be left on business premises as long as you wish or trucked to an offsite warehouse. Summertime is usually slow for many companies, so this may be the ideal time to manage a move. Of course, we recommend you protect the property within your storage container with an adequate insurance plan. Research at least three mobile storage insurance carriers for the best quote. Plan ahead so that your company's move doesn't cost any more time or money than necessary.

The Small but Smart Investment

We would just like to encourage any and all who choose to store they belongings in mobile storage units to consider insuring their valuables. Not to say that mobile storage isn't entirely safe... but it is difficult to control some variables and insurance will ease your mind and ease any financial woes in the event that something does happen. Make a small but smart investment to protect your belongings and minimize the potential loss and aggravation following a disastrous occurrence.

Why Mobile Storage Insurance?

You are putting your valuables in storage because they are precious to you. Ensure their safety with mobile storage insurance. There are many reasons to consider buying storage insurance:

-In the case of our Named Perils insurance our policy provides coverage in case of major disasters. This coverage will compensate for the replacement value of the damaged or lost item less a one time, per certificate deductible. Valuation or any other type of coverage through a storage facility is limited to a minimum of $2,500 to $5,000 in coverage and will only pay the Actual Cash Value of the item (the depreciated value only). Valuation programs offer limited coverage and will not provide full compensation.

-When buying insurance from us, you will receive an actual Certificate of Insurance from a leading insurance company as proof of coverage, rather than a note or a line item on your rental agreement when renting your storage unit.

-When you purchase valuation type of coverage, you purchase it from the storage facility. We view this as a conflict of interest. By purchasing actual insurance coverage you are obtaining the service of an independent, third party insurance company.
