Protect My Belongings

  • Do I need storage property protection / insurance?

    We highly recommend that all stored belongings are covered by insurance. Whether through your homeowner's policy, renter's insurance, or a dedicated storage protection plan, having coverage gives you peace of mind in the event of unexpected damage or loss. Please contact us if you have questions about coverage options.

  • How much does storage property protection cost?
    • $8.95 per month - Up to $1,000 in personal property damage
    • $11.95 per month - Up to $5,000 in personal property damage
    • $21.95 per month - Up to $10,000 in personal property damage
    • Over $10,000, Your insurance provider should be able to provide options. It is possible that your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy already covers your belongings. Discuss this with your agent.
  • How much property protection do I need?

    The amount of coverage you need depends on what you will be storing in the unit. One way to estimate the value of what you will be storing is the cost of replacing something if it becomes damaged.

  • How do I cancel the property protection policy?

    We are ready to assist you in any way, including cancelling your property protection policy (if it was purchased through us). If your insurance was through your personal insurance provider, please contact them directly.

  • How to Keep Mice and Bugs Out of your Storage Unit?

    Keeping in mind that no storage facility is 100% pest-free, here are our top tips to reduce risk:

    • NEVER store food or drinks inside your unit
    • Pack items in plastic totes with airtight lids rather than cardboard boxes
    • Keep items raised a couple of inches off the ground
    • Cover mattresses and upholstered furniture
    • Use natural pest deterrents
    • Use FRESH CAB Rodent Repellent (available on Amazon)
    • Place cedar blocks in a bowl on a shelf — cedar is a natural deterrent
    • Apply a few drops of lavender or peppermint essential oil on cotton balls and place around the unit
    • Tuck lavender dryer sheets among your stored items — the strong scent repels mice
    • Visit your storage unit regularly
