GENERAL POLICY FAQS

Q. What does this insurance cover?
A. It protects you against damage to, or loss of, your property from 25 different causes, including Fire, Earthquake, Water Damage, & Burglary. See your Summary of Coverage for a complete list of the covered causes.

Q. I received a Certificate of Insurance and Summary of Coverage from your company, what is it?
A. Your Certificate of Insurance and Summary of Coverage is your proof of the coverage selection you made when you enrolled in the program. It shows the amount of coverage you selected and also gives you a breakdown of covered causes. If you have questions about your Certificate or Summary, please call one of our licensed Customer Service Representatives at 1-888-223-3726, option 1, option 2.

Q. How do I sign up for Insurance?
A. Signing up for coverage is simple! For insurance on a storage unit simply go to the leasing office and request a Bader Participation Form to complete. For insurance on your apartment you may request a Bader Participation Form from the leasing office or you can click here and self enroll.

Q. What types of property are eligible for coverage?
A. Many of the properties you own are eligible for coverage but there are limits. There ARE exclusions. Some of the exclusions are accounts, bills, firearms, currency, deeds, evidences of debt, securities, money, notes, animals, jewelry, watches, precious or semi-precious stones, furs and garments trimmed in fur. These items are not insurable under this policy. Coverage may also be declined on exotic, imported or high value contents. The policy is not designed to cover these types of items. Stated Value Insurance Policies are available from most local insurance agents for items like antique cars and other high value collectibles or antiques. Please note the above mentioned list of exclusions is not a complete list of exclusions. Please refer to your Summary of Coverage for a complete list of exclusions.

Q. Is flood covered?
A. Just as with regular Home Owners policies, damage from flood, surface water, waves, tides, tidal waves, storm surge, overflow of any body of water, or their spray is not covered. Flood Insurance is available from the Federal Government.

Q. What is the difference between burglary and theft?
A. Burglary means stealing property by means of forcible entry into a securely locked storage space or an apartment unit, provided there are marks of forcible entry on the exterior storage space, or apartment. Theft does not require forcible entry. Theft and Mysterious Disappearance are not covered under this policy. The mere absence of a lock or padlock does not constitute visible marks of forced entry of a storage space.
