Amwins Program Underwriters (APU) today announced the launch of its Self-Storage Facilities insurance program, a new offering designed to provide comprehensive, industry-specific protection for self-storage business owners and operators.
With more than 2.1 billion square feet of self-storage space in the U.S. as of 2026 and roughly one in three Americans currently renting a storage unit, demand for the asset class continues to climb. This growth brings a corresponding rise in exposure, including property damage and vandalism; theft, sale and disposal liability; and construction-related risk.
"This new program helps retail agents and brokers deliver the specialized protection self-storage clients need," said Dan Curran, executive vice president at Amwins Program Underwriters. "As exposures for self-storage facilities and operators become more complex, we're offering a straightforward way to address those risks - supported by the market access and underwriting expertise Amwins is known for."
