30 Days Free Storage Available at 7 Stores in North Dakota, Minnesota after Derecho

Jun 21, 2025

U-Haul® is extending 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage at seven centers across eastern North Dakota and northern Minnesota to residents affected by tornadoes that left a wide path of destruction Friday night and into the early hours of Saturday.

A derecho with winds exceeding 100 mph moved across numerous counties in both states, damaging properties and leaving thousands without power. There were multiple tornado sightings throughout the fast-moving storm system.

Enderlin, N.D., located southwest of Fargo, and Bemidji, Minn., were among the communities hardest hit.

Access to dry and secure self-storage and portable storage containers can be vital to communities during the clean-up and recovery process after natural disasters.

The 30 days free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. The U-Box offer is for on-site storage at Company centers, and for customers who tow their portable storage container. U-Box delivery and pick-up is also available for a modest cost.
