U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage following Houston Storms

May 20, 2024

Thirty-three U-Haul stores across Greater Houston are extending 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box portable storage container usage to residents impacted by last week’s devastating storms.

Powerful winds and rains caused mass damage to homes and businesses, toppled trees and downed power lines across a wide region on May 16. Several fatalities were reported, and hundreds of thousands of residents were left without power.

The clean-up process is expected to take time. Access to dry and secure self-storage rooms and portable storage containers is critical for communities during the recovery process following natural disasters.

Lynn Buck, U-Haul Area District Vice President who oversees operations in and around Houston, announced that three marketing company offices in his territory will each make 11 self-storage facilities available to offer disaster relief – totaling 33 participating stores (21 stores in Houston city limits).

The 30-day free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. The free U-Box offer is for on-site storage at U-Haul facilities and does not include residential delivery and pick-up of containers.

People seeking more details about the U-Haul disaster relief program or needing to arrange storage should call the participating office near them or stop by a U-Haul-owned and -operated facility in one of the cities listed below:

U-Haul Co. of West Houston

(281) 495-2303
