It is completely your choice whether or not you choose to insure your goods. Unlike other self-storage companies, we do not mandate customers with compulsory insurance as we believe it should be your decision. As such, we also do not accept any responsibility should anything happen to your stored goods (see T&Cs). Should you wish to be covered by insurance, our site is listed as a facility on Store and Insure, a third party self storage insurance provider. We recommend that you do your own research as any decision to purchase insurance is yours, as we do not offer any advice and are not agents or brokers of insurance.
