U-Haul 2016 Destination City No. 6: Las Vegas

Las Vegas ranks No. 6 on the U-Haul U.S. Destination Cities list for 2016, according to the latest U-Haul migration trends report.

Sin City saw a 6.3 percent drop in year-over-year arrivals, though it maintained its 2015 ranking as the sixth busiest U.S. city for incoming U-Haul trucks.

U-Haul Destination Cities are ranked according to the total number of arriving one-way U-Haul truck rentals to a city in the past calendar year. Destination Cities do not account for departing traffic and thus do not necessarily reflect growth like U-Haul Growth Cities. Destination Cities reflect the volume and regularity of do-it-yourself movers coming into a community.

“Las Vegas has really transformed into a family destination,” said Rick Faulk, U-Haul Company of Las Vegas East president. “Families are moving here because they understand that Las Vegas is a communal city.”

U-Haul has 10 Company-owned stores and 61 independent neighborhood dealers within the city limits, and also offers many more locations to fulfill the needs of suburbs outside Las Vegas. Find U-Haul truck and trailer sharing locations in Las Vegas at uhaul.com/locations.
