Insurance

If your possessions are worth storing, they must be worth insuring.

When your possessions are in storage they are not automatically insured. It is your responsibility to insure your goods.

Fort Knox Self Storage can help by providing you with insurance for your goods at competitive rates that can be purchased when you move in. Our storage facility has been approved by the leading insurance companies to meet their security standards.
