Six U-Haul® Companies in the Southeast are making 84 centers in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida available to provide 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container use to residents who have been impacted by severe flooding in recent days.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur dumped inches, and in some cases feet, of rain across coastal regions including metro New Orleans, Gulfport-Biloxi, and Mobile among many other areas. Heavy rainfall caused flash flooding and home and property damage in numerous communities.
Access to self-storage units and portable storage containers is vital to communities when recovering from natural disasters. U-Haul is ready to help anyone affected by the flooding who needs a dry, secure storage solution at no cost for one month.
The 30 days free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability at participating locations. The U-Box offer is for on-site storage at Company facilities; delivery is available for a modest fee.
Please reference the list of participating companies below and the cities where centers are providing the disaster relief program. Visit any of the U-Haul-owned and -operated store locations in these cities or call the regional office nearest you to arrange 30 days of free storage.
