Flooding in Louisiana: U-Haul Extends 30 Days Free Self-Storage

Apr 6, 2019

Eight U-Haul® self-storage facilities across seven cities are offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents who have been impacted by flooding in southern Louisiana.

Rising water from steady storms have caused damage to many homes, creating a need for self-storage where possessions can be stowed during recovery efforts.

“We’re here to help our communities in times of need,” stated Pat Allen, U-Haul Company of Southern Louisiana president. “If you’ve been affected by the recent flooding in this region, we encourage you to take advantage of our dry and secure self-storage facilities for one month at no cost.”
