Why do I need to arrange protection for my goods?
Arranging protection for your goods in storage is a crucial component of safeguarding your belongings when using self-storage facilities. Whilst Fox Self Storage facilities have implemented security measures like CCTV cameras, unit access controls and intruder and fire alarms, events may occur outside of our control such as fire, theft, or natural disasters and we want all our customers to have complete peace of mind.
This peace of mind is provided by ‘StoreProtect™’ where we have teamed up with the industry’s leading brokers and we agree to accept an enhanced liability for your goods in store up to the Maximum Replacement Value you declare to us. This means that in the event of any loss or damage your goods, they will be repaired or replaced.
Whether you’re storing furniture, electronics, or valuable collectibles, having the right protection ensures that you can recover the value of your items should the unexpected occur. It’s a smart choice for anyone using self-storage, as it helps protect your assets and adds an extra layer of security to your stored goods.

How do I calculate my Maximum Replacement Value?
It is important to consider what you will be storing in your unit and be aware that the value may change significantly over time.
You should therefore calculate what the maximum value will be of the TOTAL value of ALL goods you are going to store and calculate the value of the goods if you needed to replace them with new items, not what they are currently worth, as that is the basis of settlement with StoreProtect™.
While we hope you never have to claim, the purpose of StoreProtect™ is to protect your belongings and yourself in the case of an incident. If you under declare your Maximum Replacement Value, your claim will be proportionally reduced meaning you will not receive the full replacement value of your belongings.
This is also the case for partial losses. For example: if the total Replacement Value of your property is £10,000, but you have declared a Maximum Replacement Value of £5,000, our liability will be reduced by 50%. So, if £3,000 worth of your property is lost or damaged, your settlement would only equate to £1,500.
