If you’ve recently rented a storage unit and opted for Avid self-storage insurance, you might be wondering — “Can I cancel it later?” Whether you no longer need coverage or have switched to another provider, it’s important to understand how the Avid policy works and what your cancellation options are.
In this article, Freedomz Storage breaks down the details of canceling Avid self-storage insurance, including when and how you can do it, refund policies, and what to consider before making the move.
What Is Avid Self-Storage Insurance?
Avid Insurance provides coverage for belongings stored in a self-storage unit. It typically protects against risks like:
- Fire, flood, or storm damage
- Theft or vandalism
- Accidental damage
- Water leaks and burst pipes
This insurance ensures peace of mind that your stored items are financially protected if something unexpected happens.
Can You Cancel Avid Self-Storage Insurance?
✅ Yes, you can cancel Avid self-storage insurance.
However, the cancellation process and refund eligibility depend on when and how you cancel. If your policy was purchased directly through your storage provider or online, the steps may vary slightly.
Generally, you can cancel by:
- Contacting Avid Insurance directly via their customer service or email.
- Requesting cancellation in writing with your policy number and storage facility details.
- Providing a valid reason for cancellation (for example, you’ve emptied your unit or switched insurers).
If you’re unsure, you can always reach out to your facility — or visit Freedomz Storage for guidance.
When Can You Cancel the Policy?
You can cancel Avid’s insurance:
- Before your next billing cycle – to avoid being charged for the upcoming month.
- Immediately after vacating your unit – once you’ve moved out, coverage is no longer necessary.
- If you already have alternative insurance – such as homeowner or renter’s insurance that covers your stored goods.
Always confirm the effective date of cancellation to avoid paying for unused coverage.
Will You Get a Refund After Canceling?
Refunds depend on Avid’s terms and the timing of your cancellation. In most cases:
- Full refunds are available if you cancel shortly after purchase (e.g., within 14 days).
- Pro-rated refunds may apply if you cancel mid-term.
- No refund may apply if the policy period has nearly ended.
To verify your eligibility, contact Avid’s customer service or check your policy document for specific terms.
What to Consider Before Canceling
Before you cancel your self-storage insurance, think about:
- Are your belongings still in storage and at risk?
- Do you have replacement coverage elsewhere?
- Does your storage provider require insurance for all tenants?
At Freedomz Storage, we always recommend keeping your belongings insured until they are completely removed from the unit. Unexpected incidents can happen anytime, and coverage ensures your peace of mind.
Alternative Insurance Options
If Avid isn’t the right fit for you, you can:
- Choose another storage insurance provider with better rates.
- Use home or renter’s insurance if it includes off-site storage coverage.
- Ask Freedomz Storage about our recommended insurance partners for flexible protection options.
Final Thoughts
Yes — you can cancel Avid self-storage insurance, but make sure you understand the cancellation process and whether you’re eligible for a refund. Always ensure your stored belongings remain covered to avoid unexpected loss or damage.
