Temple Tornado: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage in Texas

May 23, 2024

U-Haul Co. of North Austin is making 13 facilities available to provide 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to families impacted by Wednesday night’s powerful tornado that struck Temple and wreaked havoc along Interstate 35.

Many homes in and around Temple were damaged or destroyed. Access to dry and secure self-storage rooms and portable storage containers is essential during the recovery process after natural disasters.

John Jaster, U-Haul Co. of North Austin president, said his teams are dealing with tornado damage as well, but they stand ready to help their fellow Texans.

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