Most people pay by monthly direct debit. You can also pay by debit or credit card either in person or over the phone or by cheque. Payment is due monthly in advance, discounts are available for longer prepayments. When you move out of storage, you will be refunded for storage time that you have paid for but not used.

If you care enough about your property to store it, we strongly advise that you insure it. If you have a household or business insurance policy running whilst your goods are in storage you may find they are covered under this policy. If you don’t have a policy or you’re not sure what your current policy covers, if required, we can provide you with affordable insurance for your goods. This can be taken out when you move into storage and increased, decreased or cancelled at any time.

Though we hate to say goodbye, we make the move out process as simple as possible. Just let us know you’re leaving, empty your room and we’ll close your account and refund you for any storage time that you’ve paid for but not used.

As a courtesy we just ask that you give us seven days notice before your intended move out date. If you’re unable to give seven days notice, that’s fine, you can still move your goods out of storage but you will be charged for seven days rent that you’ve paid for but not used.
