Whether you’re storing a luxury motorhome or a weekend fishing boat, protecting your investment goes beyond just choosing a secure facility—it means understanding what insurance coverage you need while your vehicle is parked.

At I-10 Sealy Columbus Boat & RV Storage, we believe in keeping our tenants informed and prepared.

Here’s what you need to know about insurance when storing your RV or boat with us.

🛡️What Does the Storage Facility Cover?

Most storage facilities—including ours—do not provide insurance coverage for stored vehicles. While we offer high-quality features like:

• Gated access
  
  

• 24/7 digital surveillance
  
  

• Wide, well-lit driveways
  
  

• Secure fencing
  

…these are designed to deter theft and damage, not insure your property. The responsibility to insure your RV or boat ultimately falls on you as the vehicle owner. Click here to know more about our facility.

🛡️ What Kind of Insurance Do You Need?

Before you rent a storage, you should check with your current RV or boat insurance provider to make sure your policy extends to storage periods. If not, consider:

1. Comprehensive RV or Boat Insurance - This covers theft, vandalism, storm damage, animal damage, and fire—even when the vehicle isn’t in use.
2. Storage-Only Coverage - Some insurers offer reduced-cost storage policies during off-season months. These typically exclude road liability and focus solely on physical protection.
3. Renter’s or Homeowner’s Policy Extension - Occasionally, your boat may be covered under your homeowner’s policy—but RVs typically are not. Confirm with your agent before assuming coverage.

🛡️ Best Practices for Insurance & Storage

Here are some tips to ensure you’re protected:

• Take photos of your RV or boat before storing it as documentation.
  
  

• Remove valuables from the vehicle and store them separately.
  
  

• Secure your vehicle with locks, wheel boots, and covers to reduce risks.
  
  

• Update your policy with the storage address:
  
  I-10 Sealy Columbus Boat & RV Storage – 7106 S IH 10 RD Cat Spring, TX 78933
  
  

• Ask about liability: Some insurers offer optional liability coverage while parked, which protects against accidental damage you might cause. Click here to learn more tips and best storage practices.

🛡️ What Happens If There’s Damage?

If damage or theft does occur, you’ll want to:

1. File a police report immediately, if applicable.
   
   

2. Contact your insurance provider with documentation.
   
   

3. Reach out to our facility manager for surveillance footage or support.
