Self Storage centres go to extreme lengths to ensure client’s goods are as secure as possible. There are coded pass words, locks to which only you hold the key, CCTV cameras monitoring around the clock plus all sorts of alarms. However, you should go that extra step and take out insurance.

Many people rent a self storage room to hold valuable things, household items, furniture and sometimes precious family heirlooms. Businesses use the storage rooms to carry stock and some run their businesses from the facility. Just as you would make sure you have insurance cover in your home or business, you should make sure you take out insurance when you use a self storage facility. Yes, they have all sorts of modern security systems but take out insurance, just in case!

It is not expensive and typically you can get cover for €3 per €1000 value, per month.

For a small fee on top of your monthly rental, you will have peace of mind.
