How insurance works here
What you arrange, what you are protected against, what it costs, and how we handle it if something ever comes up.
Your things go into storage insured.
We do not want your belongings sitting with us for months without anything arranged. That is why cover belongs with every booking. How you arrange it is up to you.

Our package or your own insurer.
The easiest route is our protection package: arranged in one go with your booking, no separate application and no waiting time. Does your own home contents insurance also cover items away from home? Then you use that and confirm it in your account.

You pick the insured amount.
You know best what your things are worth. You choose the amount everything is insured for, from a few boxes to a full household. Torn between two amounts? Our advisers will think it through with you.

Sorted within ten days.
You arrange your cover in your customer portal, within ten days of booking. Two minutes of work, and then you can forget about it.

Everything you want to know about the security package
Insurance often sounds like fine print and forms. At Inbox it's simply part of the package. Your entire household sits temporarily in one place; we think it matters that you know what's covered, how it works, and what to expect if something does go wrong. Here we explain why storage insurance is different from your standard contents policy, what the Security Package covers exactly, and how damage handling works with us: honest, no jargon, in plain language.
Why insure your storage?
With storage 30-100% of your household sits temporarily in one place. Risks are small, your belongings sit climate-controlled and under 24/7 camera surveillance, only our own staff has access, and we run fire protection and water detection, but the impact when something happens is large. Your own contents policy often only covers your home address, so without additional cover the risk sits entirely with you. At Inbox coverage simply belongs with it: you choose between two options. The Security Package: arranged in one step at booking, immediately visible in your calculator price, automatically extended while your storage runs. Or your own policy: upload your policy document in your account after written confirmation from your insurer that external storage is covered. With every Inbox booking coverage is mandatory. You decide which option fits best, both options end automatically when your contract ends.
Own policy or Security Package?
A standard contents policy is built for your home address, and that's usually where it stops. External locations (like storage with us) often fall outside coverage, or only limited, e.g. maximum 6 months temporary or only during a move. The Security Package is specifically designed for the storage context: transport and storage covered together, external location included as standard, no time limit while your contract runs. Risk of using your own policy: if it turns out coverage doesn't apply at the moment of damage, you face unpleasant surprises. Recommendation: call your insurer before booking and ask whether your policy covers storage at an external location for an indefinite period, and request written confirmation. Don't get full cover? Add the Security Package. If you have both, we won't pay out compensation twice. That's legally regulated in insurance.
What we do if damage happens
Damage is unpleasant, but with us the process is practical and short. Reporting goes via the customer portal: short description plus photos, maximum 5 minutes of work. We get in touch within 2 business days. Got the Security Package? We handle settlement directly with our insurer; you don't need to call the insurance company yourself, fill out forms or wait on hold. Got your own policy? You file with your own insurer; we provide supporting evidence such as address, security data, timestamped photos and driver testimony. Compensation is based on what was declared at booking and the evidence provided. No long forms, no phone queues, no jargon. In case of doubt or disputes we can mediate between customer and insurer to keep things moving. Settlement typically within 2 to 4 weeks for standard claims.
