Prestige Protection Plan Expands Self-Storage Protection Solutions with Seamless Cubby Platform Integration
Prestige Protection Plan (PPP), the tenant protection solution developed and operated by Prestige Storage, has announced a new integration with Cubby, a leading facility management platform serving the self-storage industry. The partnership brings automated tenant protection management directly into Cubby’s ecosystem, allowing storage operators to streamline coverage tracking, improve compliance, and simplify the enrollment process.
Prestige Storage, a top-50 self-storage operator managing 67 facilities across seven states, originally created PPP to address the challenges of managing tenant protection internally. After successfully implementing the solution across its own portfolio, the company expanded the program to support third-party storage operators looking for a more efficient way to manage tenant coverage.
Through the new Cubby integration, operators using the platform can automatically identify tenants who lack required private insurance coverage, communicate with those tenants, and enroll them into a protection plan when necessary — reducing manual administrative work and eliminating the need for spreadsheets or disconnected systems.
The integration uses PPP’s proprietary technology to securely access tenant and coverage information through Cubby’s API. The system continuously reviews tenant records and identifies two key categories: tenants who do not have private insurance coverage documented and tenants whose existing coverage has expired or is nearing expiration.
Once an issue is identified, the system automatically initiates a communication process through Cubby. Tenants receive clear, branded notifications informing them that proof of insurance is either missing or outdated. The communication provides a 30-day window for tenants to upload updated documentation or confirm valid private coverage before automatic enrollment begins.
If a tenant does not submit updated insurance information within the required timeframe, PPP can automatically enroll the tenant into the protection plan. A confirmation notification is then sent through the Cubby API, providing details about the coverage, applicable charges, and instructions for opting out at any time by submitting a valid declarations page from their own insurance provider.
The automated process continues beyond initial enrollment. PPP’s system monitors tenant accounts on an ongoing basis and repeats the workflow whenever coverage documentation expires, helping operators maintain consistent protection standards across their facilities.
Unlike traditional third-party insurance programs adapted for self-storage, PPP was specifically designed for the storage industry. Prestige Storage launched the platform in February 2024 as an internal solution to improve coverage management across its own properties. After proving effective in real-world operations, the company made the technology available to external operators.
Today, PPP supports 109 facilities nationwide and provides protection coverage for approximately 18,000 storage units. The company’s expansion reflects growing demand among operators for technology-driven solutions that reduce operational complexity while improving tenant communication.
“We built PPP for ourselves first. Two years of running it across our own facilities taught us what a coverage product actually has to do: chase certificates without annoying tenants, enroll lapses without surprising anyone, and never put the property manager in the middle of it,” said Prestige Storage Principal Cory Bonda. “Cubby was the natural place to plug it in. Same tenant data, same operator base, no spreadsheets in between.”
The collaboration with Cubby is designed to help storage operators create a more seamless experience for both their teams and their tenants. By connecting protection services directly with facility management software, operators can improve efficiency while ensuring important coverage requirements are consistently managed.
Cubby’s technology platform enables self-storage operators and industry partners to connect their services through integrated solutions and application programming interfaces (APIs). The platform supports automation, operational improvements, and easier adoption of new tools for facility owners and managers.
“Cubby’s platform and API allow operators and vendors to grow their businesses faster and more efficiently. Insurance and protection partners are a major part of that equation. We’re thrilled operators can benefit from coverage options like the Prestige Protection Plan,” said Cubby CEO Matt Engfer. “The PPP integration is high quality and programmatically unlocks industry best practices — they’ve done a great job with the implementation.”
The integration represents a broader shift within the self-storage industry toward automation and connected technology solutions. As operators continue to seek ways to improve efficiency and deliver better tenant experiences, integrated platforms like Cubby and solutions like PPP are helping simplify complex processes.
By combining automated coverage management with facility management technology, Prestige Protection Plan and Cubby are providing operators with a more streamlined approach to tenant protection. The partnership demonstrates how technology partnerships can help storage businesses reduce administrative burdens, improve compliance, and create a smoother experience for customers.
