Which types of events are not covered under the Contents Protection Option?

Damage to contents stored in the container caused by improper packing, normal shifting, or willful or intentional acts is not covered by the Contents Protection Option.

How are items valued under the Contents Protection Option?

Damaged items will be replaced based on their depreciated value, which is the replacement cost minus any depreciation (loss of value over time due to factors such as age, wear and tear, and obsolescence).

What does the Container Only option cover?

The Container Only Option covers any loss or damage to your PODS container, no matter the cause, including lightning, windstorm, hail, fire, smoke, explosion, vandalism, riot, malicious mischief, falling objects or auto accidents. Damage to the container, however, will not be covered if it was caused by your willful or intentional acts. Under no circumstances will the Container Only Option cover any loss or damage to any property stored in the PODS container.
