Insurance

Goods are not automatically insured when in storage.

Due to the high quality of our centres we have been endorsed by the major insurance companies and offer insurance at all our locations. Many of our competitors have been unable to reach a similar standard and cannot offer insurance of your goods.

Kennards provides an easy and simple programme customers can participate in. This insurance 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, insurance for your goods in storage is available. Customer's goods are not automatically insured when being stored. It is the customer's responsibility to be insured. Kennards has an easy simple insurance programme you can participate in.

First Month Complimentary Insurance

When you choose to Store with Kennards Self Storage, you receive “Complimentary Insurance Cover” with your first month of Storage.

When moving into storage there can be a lot going on, complimentary insurance for the first month means one less thing to think about! There is no obligation to continue after the first month, and customers are reminded to check that what they are storing is eligible under the Terms & Conditions of the policy and not excluded.

Level of cover is capped at $30,000, with a $250 excess payable by the customer for each and any claim.
