    I am not convinced you have been given the correct answer, from my experience insurers only normally cover garages away from the insured property if they are part of the title deeds.

    I rented a garage about 200 yards away from my flat and I was able to get confirmation from the insure that it was covered by my existing policy due to it being reasonably close and that there were no other off road parking options any closer.

    You might have been given the wrong answer because that sort of question is not one they would answer every day and it is not normal for insurers to provide cover if the garage is not part of the title deeds.

    Hi AA Rep .

    In a case such as mine , do you think my garage would be covered under my buildings insurance policy with yourselves (insured by L+G) ?

    The garage is rented from my local council but although I can see it from my bedroom window (its just 20 steps from the back of my property) its actually in a different postcode.

    What do you think?

    Without knowing the full details I am not able to confirm either way. Why not give the insurance team a call on 0800 197 6169 to discuss further.
