All risks insurance for move and storage

Hi fellow community members. I am looking for some help and advice on insurance providers. For the next couple of months I will be moving all my belongings into storage but am not sure where to find contents insurance that covers the move and while my stuff is in storage. Has anyone else done this before? Any advice welcome.
Many thanks

    Are we talking self storage or being stored by the movers?

    Most storers offer insurance which can make life easy though may not be cheapest option. Normal content's insurance includes cover for temporary storage offsite whilst moving home but these days its normally capped to a few days and even the likes of NFU cap it to 30 days


  • That's really helpful. The movers and storage provider are not related. The movers offer very basic cover but it is more to protect them instead of my belongings. I've already been told by several contents insurance providers they won't cover anyone in my situation.
