A mixed experience..
A mixed experience... Imagine arriving on moving day, with all your belongings, to be told - 'oh, you won't like this but we can't accept your storage insurance specifically purchased from a legitimate source to cover your goods as requested by us, you will have to take ours out instead...' ... Most people would have no choice at that point but to roll over and pay Surestore's inflated insurance premiums on top of the monthly storage fee. For your information the premium I was quoted for their insurance alone was more per month than my car insurance! They also don't tell you that there are different levels of insurance payable, but quote for just one..
So, luckily I planned ahead, and visited with my documents prior to moving day, as even though I was told I could get my own insurance (and have since checked the 'requirements' with another branch who were also vague but suggested the specific storage insurance I purchased should meet requirements (and cost just £28 for the YEAR) I wanted to be organised. and what a surprise, my insurance was not acceptable to them! So, they are friendly, efficient etc but I would avoid. It's a shame as I wanted to support local but instead I have found a great place, just in Walmley, Cookes Storage who were brilliant and most importantly, fine with my insurance so it saved an additional £30 per month.
