The short answer

Renters policies extend contents coverage to off-premises locations, typically at 10% of your contents limit (some policies 100%). Covered perils mirror on-premises — fire, theft, water damage, vandalism. Excluded perils (flood, earthquake) apply the same way. Facility 'insurance' offered at the counter is usually narrower and costs more per dollar of coverage.

Frequently asked

Does the facility need my policy info?
