\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMonthly rent is the standard price for your storage space for a full month before any discount.

Pelican’s own insurance is optional, but your stored items must be insured. You can choose Pelican’s insurance or use your own insurance if it meets Pelican’s requirements and you can provide proof of coverage. We recommend Pelican’s insurance, which has been developed specifically for storage.
