Surewise is a long-established Essex-based insurance intermediary (Sure Wise Limited, FCA firm reference 618327) whose self storage cover is underwritten by SAGIC — the Salvation Army General Insurance Corporation. It's a broker rather than an insurer, placing your cover with a reputable, charity-owned underwriter.
Is Surewise storage insurance any good?
Surewise holds an "Excellent" Trustpilot rating across its product range, with customers praising the UK call centre and straightforward, no-fuss service. Storage cover benefits from the same setup — quick to arrange and backed by SAGIC, the Salvation Army's insurer.
How much does Surewise storage insurance cost?
Storage cover starts from £14.90 a year with no excess and no hidden fees — Surewise says this can be up to around 70% cheaper than buying cover from your storage facility. Three tiers (Bronze, Silver and Gold) raise the single-item and valuables limits as you go up.
What does Surewise cover?
- Fire, theft (with forced entry), flood, storm and escape of water
- Personal and business contents
- No excess and no admin fees
- Instant cover certificate by email
- Cover for goods in transit to and from the facility

Our verdict on Surewise
Surewise is a strong-value, well-established option for personal, student and business storage, especially if a no-excess policy from a reputable underwriter matters to you. It isn't the pick if you need accidental damage cover or you're storing in a non-standard unit.
