U-Haul Canada Offers 30 Days Free Storage to Flood Victims in Ontario

Jul 15, 2024

9 facilities in 6 cities are providing a month of storage locker and U-Box container use on new rentals

** Update: On July 16, U-Haul added a ninth Ontario store to provide disaster relief assistance. The U-Haul of Bramalea facility is now available to help residents of Brampton and North Mississauga who have experienced flood damage or are concerned about their homes and possessions being impacted by the heavy rains that continue to plague those communities. **

U-Haul® Canada announced on July 15 it would offer 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents impacted by heavy rains and residential flooding in several cities across Ontario.

Major thunderstorms have caused treacherous conditions throughout much of Halton Region and neighboring cities like London, causing many homes to take on water and basements to flood.

Access to dry and secure self-storage and portable storage containers is essential for communities during the recovery process.

“Due to unusual thunderstorms and heavy rains over the past few days, we know many residents and businesses across Halton Region have experienced significant flooding,” stated Jake Spelic, U-Haul Canada Area District Vice President. “We have seen and heard of flooding in areas across Burlington, Oakville, Milton and Hamilton, and we want to help those in need.”

“There’s a large amount of flooding in London and water is getting in people’s basements,” added Dave Anstett, U-Haul Co. of Western Ontario president. “We want to let these families know that we have a program for one month of free storage services when disasters like this happen.”

The 30-day free offer applies to new self-storage locker and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. The U-Box offer includes the option of residential delivery and pick-up of portable containers.

People seeking more details about the U-Haul disaster relief program or needing to arrange storage should call the participating store nearest them.
