Do I need to insure my car whilst it’s in storage?

No you don’t have to, most storage companies will provide you cover up to a certain value. If the vehicle is over the provided cover level you may need to pay a small premium to increase to the declared insurance value.

You should be looking for an “All Risks” cover, this as the name implies covers all eventualities whilst the vehicle is in store.

If the company doesn’t provide cover (and I’d be a little wary why) then you will need to maintain your policy.

In addition you will need to advise your insurers

Before you take your vehicle back out on the road, you will need to ensure you have adequate insurance in place.

My first question was "will you store any car?" As I have rather shabby but very loved 2CV which has huge sentimental value. CarSafe give it the same attention as they would a car worth vastly more than mine, but I still wouldn’t swap it!

Mrs K: Citroen Dolly

The time that the CarSafe team took to understand the “quirks” of the car was unexpected but very welcome.

Mr S: Silver Shadow

CarSafe look after 5 of my cars which I take out on a fairly regular basis. The cars are always ready when I arrive and the process is swift and courteous. An excellent service, thank you.

Mr K

We visited 3 storage companies before we went to CarSafe I must say they but Neil operate on a totally different level. The facility is wonderful, if a little tricky to find.

Mr & Mrs D: VW split screen

I was wary of car storage having previously had a bad experience. I Voiced my concerns to the CarSafe team and they answered all my questions confidently. Suffice to say my Porsche is now at CarSafe and very well looked after.

Mr M: Porsche 911

CarSafe arranged collection on behalf of my son who works away. They sent him a video of the car arriving. It makes him miss it even more but at least he can see it.
