Are renters required to have insurance provided by Extra Space Storage on their belongings, or can they decline the insurance to save a little on the monthly rent?

Hello, Insurance is required Extra Space Storage. If your homeowner or renters insurance doesn’t cover stored items, we can help you sign up with a storage insurance provider. Please contact the facility about monthly rates and to verify if they offer any discounts if you already have insurance.

If it's worth storing. It's worth insurances. If you have home owners insurance check with agent to se If it covers off site storage facility. And take in your declaration papers. If not I'd get the cheapest insurance ESS offers.

Insurance never came up, we rented the unit online, we purchased their lock so we knew it would work with the unit. I think our home owners insurance covers it.
