All you have to do is decide what size self storage unit you want to rent, provide your own padlock (or we can sell you one) and then you can come and go as you please. ## What You Can Store ## You can store almost anything including: - Household - Sports equipment - Files and documents - Cars - Stock/ Commercial items - Boats - Tools and equipment - Trailers Do not store any goods that are illegal, stolen, inflammable, explosive, toxic, hazardous, perishable, will attract vermin or that are a risk to the property of any person e.g. gas, chlorine, acid, paint, petrol and anything that can leak. If you're unsure whether or not you can store something at our self storage facilities, give our friendly managers a call and they'll be able to help you. Packaging When placing goods into self storage it is best to pack them properly to ensure they are protected. If you are not using professional packers from a removal firm, everything you need to do a professional job yourself is available from our range of packaging supplies. As a general rule you should put everything into boxes and anything that will not fit into boxes should be covered. Boxes should be filled to capacity but not overfilled; partially full or bulging boxes may tip or collapse. Heavy items like books and tools should be packed in smaller boxes so they are easy to handle. Packing and labelling boxes room by room makes the unpacking much easier and if you need to find something in storage you will have some idea of which carton to begin looking in. We can provide you with packaging materials including boxes, tape, bed, sofa and mattress covers to assist protect your goods and help pack up your belongings. We can also provide you with insurance which costs as little as a cup of coffee per month! Planning your Self Storage Space It's a good idea to place large, heavy items that you can stack upon at the rear of the space. Then work forwards and upwards with lighter, fragile items. Those items that you may need to access often, place in the front of the space. Depending on the goods you have stored, you may need to allow for walkways. Packing in professional boxes will make the storing and unpacking easier. Shelving A great way to use your longer term space more efficiently is to put shelving into your self storage unit. We can advise you on some shelving options to consider, or you can read our blog pots about it here. Electronics and computers Where possible pack all electronics back in their original boxes and tape closed. These should then be stored upright. Otherwise, wrap in bubble-wrap and store in marked boxes. Remove the batteries from battery-powered items as they may leak over time. Fridges, freezers and whiteware It is essential that fridges and freezers are thoroughly defrosted, cleaned and dried before storing. Wedge the door ajar to ensure they remain fresh. Ensure that washing machines and dishwashers are completely drained before storing. No items should be left plugged in or running. Mirrors, windows, screens and paintings These items should be protected by packing material such as bubble wrap or in a flat pack carton. Store them standing on their edges in an upright position (not lying flat). Dishes and glassware Place a layer of packing inside the bottom and top of cartons containing breakables. Protect fragile items by wrapping them individually in packing paper (newsprint can be very messy and can possibly stain). Nest cups and bowls, and stand plates, saucers, casserole dishes and platters on their edges. Fill any gaps in the cartons with packing such as scrunched paper or linen. This will keep your fragile items well protected and prevent them from moving around in cartons whilst in transit. Label all cartons containing fragile items and avoid storing heavy items on top of them. Furniture Furniture should be thoroughly clean and dry before being packed for protection during moving and storage. We sell covers that you can use to protect sofas and chairs. Wooden furniture should be polished and then wrapped with corrugated cardboard (available from the Box Shops at all of our self storage facilities). Mattresses and bases should be packed into our purpose-made mattress covers. All other items should be wrapped or covered as required. Precious items We sell acid-free tissue for wrapping of silverware and china. Ensure that they are packed in boxes and marked as fragile. Lawn mowers and other machinery Drain fuel and oil from all machinery and store upright. Lawn mowers are very prone to oil and fuel leakage when stored on their side and spillage can damage other goods in your space. Gas bottles from barbeques and heaters must be emptied before storing.

We want to help lead New Zealand’s transition to a resilient, zero-carbon economy for the benefit of all Kiwis. As such we are proud to be New Zealand's first and only Toitū carbonzero certified self storage organisation. This means our self storage facilities have effectively neutralised their carbon footprint to achieve net zero emissions. We are delighted to confirm that in 2025, Kiwi Self Storage has successfully completed its sixth year of Toitū net carbonzero certification. While other storage companies have sustainability intiatives, Kiwi Self Storage is the only self storage provider to have their program externally audited and certified. Why the Toitū carbonzero certification? 1. It is the first greenhouse gas certification program in the world to achieve international accreditation1. This means our certification is recognised in over 60 countries. 2. Toitū carbonzero certification means our carbon footprint, emission reductions and offsets have been independently verified. 3. Toitū carbonzero programme requirements meet and exceed international standards and best practice, including ISO 14064-1 and the GHG Protocol. 4. It was developed from solid science at Landcare Research, a New Zealand Government owned Crown Research Institute. 5. So our customers can be sure we have been assessed comprehensively to the most rigorous international standards available for measuring and managing a carbon footprint. The certification process: 1. We MEASURE the greenhouse gas emissions associated with running our self storage facilities, including electricity, business travel, fuel, paper, and waste. 2. We commit to MANAGING and REDUCING these emissions by setting targets and reporting on emissions reduction performance. 3. Toitū carbonzero AUDIT our emissions on an annual basis. 4. We MITIGATE the emissions we can’t reduce by purchasing verified carbon credits from the New Zealand Emissions Unit Register. Kiwi Self Storage meets the requirements of Toitū carbonzero certification having measured our greenhouse gas emissions in compliance with the requirements of ISO 14064-1:2006, committed to managing and reducing its emissions and neutralised our remaining unavoidable emissions through the cancellation of an appropriate number of verified carbon credits in respect of the operational activities of our self storage facilities. 1 source Toitu - https://www.toitu.co.nz/about-us#accreditation ### Emission Mitigation - How we are reducing our emissions As part of step 4 in the certification process we are required to develop plans to reduce our measured emissions where possible before offsetting them. As the bulk of our emissions were from electricity use, our projects involve reducing this use. Two of our most recent projects are: Transition to LED Lighting We have covered our plan to reduce emissions through conversion of lighting to LEDs in this article. Kiwi Self Storage Transition to LED Solar Panel Installation at Storage Facilities Kiwi Self Storage Newlands in Wellington, New Zealand was expanded in 2024 to increase the number of self storage units available. During this expansion solar panels providing 10KW of electricity were installed on the roof. This installation reduced electricity usage at this facility by over 15% and is a great contribution to our 19% reduction in emissions versus our 2019 baseline. Early in 2025 we completed installation of solar panels at our Mt Roskill facility. Increasing total generation by an addtional 10KW. Further solar installations are planned to begin soon at other facilities in Auckland. Planned system sizes could be around 30-70KW. ### Carbon Credits - Mitigating our carbon emissions using acredited offsets This year we have selected New Zealand based credits due to improved availability of local credits that meet Toitu's criteria. Current Carbon Offset Projects For 2025 we have sourced carbon credits for three projects. Spraypoint Native Forest Regeneration Project - Marlborough, New Zealand Spraypoint, also known as Spray Point Station, is a significant native forest regeneration site in Marlborough, New Zealand, specifically located in the upper Waihopai Valley. It's a diverse landscape where native flora and fauna are actively being restored under a QEII Covenant. The site was initially established as a high-country sheep station and has since become a center for environmental conservation and carbon farming It is part of the Permanent Forest Sinks Initiative Off The Map Glazebrook Station - Highcountry Forest Regeneration Project - Marlborough, New Zealand The carbon forest area is under a QEII covenant, and consists of diverse range of vegetation, including a threatened species of broom. The site provides a breeding area for the New Zealand Falcon. The Permanent Forest Sink Initiative (PFSI) The Permanent Forest Sink Initiative (PFSI), now part of the permanent forestry category in the NZ ETS, incentivizes long-term, sustainable management of forests, including native forests, for carbon sequestration. This initiative encourages landowners to commit to maintaining forests, often with restrictions on harvesting, for a minimum of 50 years, promoting biodiversity, soil conservation, and other environmental benefits. PFSI Summary These projects offset a total of 31.7 tonnes C02e. This is below our 2019 baseline by 19% and down 39% from 2024. While we have limited options to further reduce that, we have been able to keep the total down by: travelling less whenever possible and installing solar power at more facilties.

Individually-alarmed units Every unit is alarmed and becomes disarmed when you enter your code at the entry gate and when you exit the facility, you are required to enter your code again. If you skip this step, when you attempt to unlock your unit, the alarm will be sounded and if this happens out of office hours, you might incur a call-out fee from our security company. For this reason do not tail gate people arriving at or leaving the facility without entering the pin and dont leave people on site when you exit, they may set off your unit alarm Drug dog checks We have inspections by drug dogs at least twice a year at all of our facilities. Resident managers/custodians One of the best things about Kiwi Self Storage are our resident managers or custodians who live on site. Not only are they storage specialists, but they can be quick to respond should an emergency occur or an alarm sound. If you have any other questions about our security or our facilities in general, do give us a call on 0800 58 57 56. Who keeps the key to the storage unit? You keep the storage unit key at all times. The units are secured using padlocks. You may either supply your own or purchase a new one from our box shop at each facility. Choosing a combination lock means you will not have to worry about losing or forgetting your key. Padlocks from our Box Shop Do I need Insurance? If it's worth storing, it's worth insuring. Although thankfully the chances of damage to your belongings while they’re in self storage are small, it is still highly advisable to take out insurance on them. First things first, if you’re storing items from your home, check your current home contents insurance policy to see whether the items are covered when they are away from your property and for how long they will be covered. Not all policies cover this but some do so it’s worth checking this first. One thing to bear in mind however if your policy does cover your contents when they are away from home, is that you might have to give them notice that you’re moving the items, and wait for this to be approved before you can actually do it. Kiwi Self Storage offer really good value, tailored insurance that you can purchase on site when you sign up for storage. It’s on-the-spot cover with no long forms to fill in, no having to wait on the phone to speak to an insurance company and no call centres. It’s as simple as ticking a box, and depending on how much insurance cover you need, it may cost as little as a cup of coffee per month. Plus, this is often a lot simpler than trying to extend your current coverage and keeps things separate. If you do choose to go with our insurance, you don’t need to worry about the policy expiring because as long as you’re storing with us, your items will be insured. Once your belongings are stored and insured you can visit them at anytime, just like at home, with the same piece of mind. If you have any questions about it, our friendly staff are on hand to answer them for you. Give them a call on 0800 58 57 56 or visit our website for more information about self storage. What does 'On Site' manager or custodian mean? 'On Site' means that there is a person living on site who is able to quickly respond to events that may occur outside normal business hours. They ensure the facility is secure and that all security systems are working correctly. Can I share my PIN code with couriers, removal companies or staff and relatives No. You must not share your code with anyone else. Anyone with the code can access the facility and deactivate the alarm for your storage unit. This means you no longer have control over access to the unit and have compromised the security of others storing at the site. Other than courier pickups or drop offs, you need to be onsite to grant access to your unit to removal companies, truck drivers or others. We can provide additional codes to nominated persons, but these should be strictly limited. You will need to complete a 'Third Party Agreement' form at your storage facility office to obtain these. Please contact your facility for assistance. I know what I need to store. What size unit do I need?
