Shield Against Property Damage and Theft
From fire and water damage to theft and vandalism, warehousing insurance helps safeguard your facilities, equipment and stored goods from unexpected loss and downtime.

The result is a comprehensive program that protects physical assets, stabilizes operations and keeps your supply chain moving.
Protect Your Facility from Liability Exposure and Interruptions
As a warehouse operator, you are liable for bodily injury or property damage on or around your facility. Protect your business from legal fees, medical expenses, property repairs and business interruptions with a comprehensive insurance program.

Warehousing FAQs
Warehousing insurance protects goods and businesses while products are stored in a warehouse or distribution facility before they’re delivered to retailers or customers. Warehousing insurance coverage can help safeguard against a variety of risks, such as:
- Fire, smoke and explosions damaging stored inventory
- Water damage from burst pipes, sprinkler malfunctions and other weather events
- Theft and vandalism
- Equipment breakdowns
- Bodily injury to visitors on warehouse premises
- Property damage caused by warehouse operations, such as forklift accidents
- Inventory loss due to improper handling or storage errors
- Temporary storage-related cargo damage or spoilage
If your business stores, handles or manages inventory, warehouse liability insurance is a worthwhile investment. Your warehousing insurance policy can be tailored to your facility size, storage methods, inventory type and contractual obligations, ensuring protection that aligns with the way your warehouse operates.
Warehousing insurance coverage is particularly valuable if your business falls in any of these categories:
- Automated warehouses
- Bonded warehouses
- Cooperative warehouses
- Government warehouses
- Distribution centers
- Wholesale distributors
- Cold storage and temperature-controlled facilities
- Third-party logistics (3PL) providers
- Fulfillment centers
The cost of warehouse liability insurance varies. It depends on several factors, including:
- Location and size of your warehouse
- Infrastructure and safety measures of your warehouse
- Desired coverages, limits and deductibles
- Number of employees at your warehouse
- Insurance claims history
- Annual and projected revenue figures
- Services you offer
- Types of goods and materials you store
- Replacement costs of your machinery and equipment
If your warehouse stores hazardous materials, for example, you can expect higher premiums than a facility that focuses on non-hazardous goods, such as clothing or packaged household items. Additionally, your rates may increase if you have a larger warehouse in a disaster-prone area.
