If it's worth storing, It's worth protecting

Protection Cover

Goods are not automatically covered when in storage.

Kennards Self Storage provides an easy and simple protection programme customers can participate in. This Protection Cover is structured in a pay-as-you-go system so you only have to buy what you need, and automatically renews when you pay.

Although incidents in our self storage centres are extremely rare, Protection  Cover for your goods in storage is available. Customer's goods are not automatically covered when being stored. It is the customer's responsibility to be covered. Kennards has an easy simple protection programme you can participate in.

We invest heavily in our properties to ensure they are maintained to a very high standard. Unfortunately that alone may not be enough to protect against sudden unforeseen events, like weather, accidents, or the behaviour of other customers. For total peace of mind consider protection for your goods in storage.
