How much a storage space costs
The cost of a storage space depends on the site. We'll let you know the exact price when we get back to you. There's a rent increase in April every year.
If you miss a payment call us on 0117 922 2000 as soon as possible. If you don't pay your storage space rent, we may repossess your space.
What you can use the storage space for
You can only use a storage space to store and charge your mobility scooter. You may not store anything else there.
Insurance
We accept no responsibility for theft or damage to any scooter. You should arrange your own insurance cover if you want it.
What to do if you lose your key
You can get a new key for £10 at our Citizen Service Point.
