Legal & General: Insurance important for garages

People should make sure that their household insurance also provides cover for what is contained in garages, Legal & General has suggested.

The company cited research from the RAC Foundation which states that 60 per cent of households use garages for storage rather than to park the family car.

With those findings in mind, it reminded customers that Legal & General insurance for households offers cover for contents in a garage or domestic outbuilding.

This cover has a limit of ten per cent of the sum of the contents insured for theft or attempted theft.

Ruth Wilkins, head of communications for Legal & General's general insurance business, commented: "Garages and outbuildings are great for storing items but it is vital to check that house insurance provides adequate cover for your belongings.

"Household insurance does not cover for theft or damage to cars or motorised vehicles stored in the garage and these should be insured separately."

Last month, Legal & General encouraged students to make sure they were protecting their possessions against theft.
