U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage in Florida for Emily

Five U-Haul Companies are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage over a wide area of Florida to residents who have been or will be impacted by flooding in the region.

Florida is expected to take on extensive water this week due to steady rains from Tropical Storm Emily, which was downgraded to a tropical depression on Monday evening. Concerns of flooded streets and homes have created the need for safe and secure self-storage options where people can keep their possessions.

“This region is the bull’s-eye when it comes to rainfall and flooding,” U-Haul Company of Western Florida president Dave Thompson said. “Tropical Storm Emily has strengthened and we have been warned about flooding, wind speeds and riptides. As a longstanding and committed member of these communities, U-Haul is ready to help by offering families a dry place to store their belongings for 30 days at no cost.”

The U-Haul Companies of Eastern Florida, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Tampa and Western Florida have made 32 facilities across 13 cities available to provide assistance.

People seeking additional information about the 30 days free self-storage assistance or needing to make arrangements should contact the participating location nearest them:
