This page explains the need for a quality international goods in storage insurance provider whether you are storing international personal effects in the host country, property in the home country, or in any other country. The insurance for personal property in storage provided by the storage company itself, is typically of very low quality. You generally get what you pay for here.

Use the "Storage Place" to Store International Property Abroad, NOT to Provide Property Insurance!

The insurance solution offered to you by the storage company may be unlicensed and of poor quality. If you are using an international storage facility we would advise you find out the name of the insurance company they use, and see if they are still in business! Of course, your experience across countries will be different, but why not work with a world class provider of insurance for goods in storage, and you can be assured of reimbursement at the time of claim. Don't trust your international personal effects to the storage company.

Most people that buy insurance from the commercial storage facility do not even ask about the insurer and they almost never, without exception, review the insurance policy. (The storage facility probably does not even have a copy of the insurance policy for your review.) Of course, few individuals review our insurance policy either but there is a level of trust that comes with working with a leading company, trusted by some of the largest companies in the world, using the highest quality international property insurance providers in the world.

In Most Countries We Can Insure Goods In Storage for Just .40 per $100 USD of Value Insured

This means it would cost $40 USD per year to insure $10,000 of personal effects in storage. ($80 per year for $20,000 and so forth.) Yes, the storage company may be offering insurance for 80% less, but what do you think the quality of the insurance is going to be at the time of claim?

Whether you use the $5 insurance that comes with the storage unit, or seek out the highest quality of goods in storage insurance in the world which is what we provide, really will depend on the quality of the items you are storing. Are they items that you will keep in your family for a long time with real worth and value to you, or just the old junk you did not want to ship overseas or cheap items that did not fit in your tiny Hong Kong apartment after the move? IPI offer a comprehensive international personal insurance solution that includes property in your residence, property while you travel, and personal effects in the storage facility, no matter what the country.
