Even though most renters insurance policies cover your belongings up to a certain limit, you should always check your policy.

When you sign up to rent a unit, your storage facility may offer you insurance. Self-storage tenant insurance can also be purchased from third-party insurance companies that specialize in storage unit insurance.
The renters insurance you already have is completely separate from these policies.
You should think about the costs and coverage, such as deductibles, monthly premiums, and which accidents are covered by the policy, just like you would with any insurance policy.
