Central's Self-storage Facilities Policy is specially designed to provide the property and liability protection needed by most self-storage businesses.
Property Protection
The property portion of the policy deals with covered losses to buildings, fixtures, and equipment. Coverage is also provided for the actual amount of a covered loss to business income and extra expenses incurred as a result of a covered loss at the premises (12 months of coverage included for most self storage operations).

The Self-Storage Program offers a broad range of optional property related coverage for an additional premium:
- Hazardous Contents Removal Form provides reimbursement for expenses to remove and legally dispose of customers' hazardous contents left or abandoned at an insured location.
