Questions
Frequently asked questions
If your question is not here, call the office — someone will pick up.
Access and security
What are the access hours?
24 hours a day, every day, at every yard. You hold your own key.
Is the site secure?
Every yard is security fenced, floodlit and monitored by 24-hour CCTV. Indoor units are inside a locked, alarmed building. The Hamilton office is manned seven days a week.
Who else can get into my unit?
Only you, unless you authorise someone else in writing. You provide and hold your own padlock and key.
Terms, payment and leaving
Is this a tenancy?
No. Storage with us is a licence to occupy the unit, not a tenancy or lease. That is set out in our storage terms.
How much notice do I give to leave?
14 days' notice, as set out in our storage terms. There is no minimum term beyond that.
Is there a deposit?
Yes — a deposit equal to four weeks' storage charge, held while you store with us and returned within 28 days of you leaving, less anything outstanding.
When is payment due?
Invoices are issued in advance of each period. If a payment is 14 days late a late charge applies, as set out in our terms.
Do I need to insure my things?
Yes. Under our terms it is your responsibility to insure your goods while they are stored, either through your own policy or by lodging evidence of cover with us.
Sizes, extras and discounts
What sizes do you have?
Outdoor containers at 40, 80, 160 and 320 square feet, and indoor rooms at 50, 60, 110 and 125 square feet. Prices vary by yard — call and we will quote you.
Can I use a van?
Rent for three months or more and van hire is free. If you do not drive, talk to us — we will help with the move.
Are there any discounts?
Students and senior citizens over 65 get 10% off. Storing six months or more gets a discounted long-term rate. Refer a customer and you get a month free.

Yes, including mattress bags in a range of sizes. Drop into the office at 9 Bertram Street or call us.
