Tropical Storm Lala: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage across Hawaii

Aug 13, 2026

U-Haul® is proactively offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container to Hawaii residents ahead of Tropical Storm Lala, which is forecast to bring flooding, mudslides, and damaging winds to the islands this weekend.

Lala is expected to gradually intensify while moving west-northwest toward the Big Island, with heavy rain starting Friday and then spreading across the island chain throughout the weekend. The Big Island is under a hurricane watch. The system could bring life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides to areas of steep terrain, along with dangerous surf and high waves.

Figgy Feigenspan, U-Haul Co. of Hawaii president, is offering the disaster relief program ahead of the storm for anyone wanting to secure belongings now. The offer will remain in place after Lala hits for residents needing storage services during cleanup and recovery efforts.

Access to self-storage units and portable storage containers is essential to communities before, during and after natural disasters strike. U-Haul is ready to help anyone affected by the flooding who needs a 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. The U-Box offer is for on-site storage at participating facilities; delivery is available for a modest fee.

Call or stop by any of the five U-Haul-owned and -operated facilities below to arrange 30 days of free storage.
