A. All of our complexes allow you the ability to
drive right to the roller door of your unit. There is generally a mix of options at each complex, so if this is an important requirement, please specify it when making your booking.

Does the price of my unit include insurance?
A. No. Some companies like to build insurance into your
price. However, we prefer to give you the option, as
it is quite common for people to transfer their existing
home insurance policy to their storage unit (you need
to check this though). If you would like insurance,
we can provide it. Please check out our insurance page where you can see that our policies
are priced as low as $2.25 per week.

What sort of security does Fry's provide?
A. We have a manager on-site during our operating hours. When we are
closed, we provide a combination of video cameras, security alarms,
security patrols, security fencing and more depending on the complex of
your choice. Please check with the complex of your choice for the exact
security offered. contact | top
Does Fry's provide 24 hour access?
A. Some of our facilities can provide you with this, but as a general
rule we do not. Our extended hours facilities offer 6am - 10pm every
day of the week. If we believe you have a genuine reason for needing
longer hours, we can assess your reason and give you the additional
hours if approved. We prefer to keep tight security on our complexes
and your safety comes first.

You are the only one who has access to your unit (and/or anyone you
give a key to). You lock it and you keep the key. Please make sure that
you get a good padlock with over 2000 possible combinations. We will
only sell good quality padlocks, and ours range from $10 to $15

Does Fry's Self Storage provide packaging material?
A. Yes we do. We provide a range of boxes, tape, protective covers, bubble wrap, marker
pens, stanley knives and more to help you pack properly.
By packing properly, you can take advantage of the full
space of your unit, which means you can fit into a smaller
size and save money. By using boxes, you can stack your
goods to the top of your unit. If you would like a detailed
explanation on how to pack properly, click here.
