Frequently Asked Questions About Self Storage Sunshine Coast

How does self storage work?

A self storage centre provides customers with their own individual space. No one else can access it unless the customer issues another person with keys and space number/s. The owner of the goods is deemed to have knowledge of the goods in the space and is solely responsible for, and retains control over, not only their goods placed into storage but also access to that space and the facility by other persons on their behalf.  Customers keep the key to their own space and can access it 24 hours per day / 7 days a week.

Should I insure my goods in storage?

We recommend insuring your goods, especially against our Queensland storms.  Self Storage of Caloundra has purpose-built buildings and systems in place to give our clients greater peace of mind and to allow you to insure your belongings whilst in storage. A phone call to your current home contents insurer will confirm if you may transfer your existing cover to our location. Vehicles may be insured via your vehicle insurer.  We advise you to consult your current contents insurer about comprehensive transit insurance cover on your goods when you are moving, whether you move the goods yourself or opt to utilise a removalist.  Alternately you may contact an independent insurer, Carts, on 1300 880 253 for Transit and Storage Insurance.  Your level of cover will vary from insurer to insurer just as it does from removalist to removalist, some of whom may offer insurance cover in a variety of circumstances.
