Aug 8, 2016

With more than 18,000 U-Haul neighborhood dealers spread out across the U.S. and Canada, the variety of businesses effectively serving the do-it-yourself mover is endless. Any business owner with a convenient location, the dedication to help his or her community, the desire to boost income, and the lot space to accommodate U-Haul rental equipment can become a neighborhood dealer.

Common U-Haul neighborhood dealers include gas stations, storage facilities and auto repair shops. But that doesn’t prevent unique businesses such as salons, bowling alleys and ice cream shops from joining the U-Haul network to supplement their primary business with our products and services.

We have already shown you nine of the more uniquely named U-Haul neighborhood dealers. Here are nine of the more interesting businesses where you can find U-Haul trucks and trailers.
