U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage in Louisiana ahead of Tropical Storm

NEW ORLEANS, La. (July 11, 2019) — Three U-Haul Companies in Louisiana are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage at 19 facilities to residents in the path of forecasted heavy rains and extreme winds from the approaching tropical storm.

The storm is expected to make landfall this weekend.

“The exact path of the storm is still uncertain, so we are urging residents to take precautions to protect their homes and belongings,” stated Jerry Bowden, U-Haul Company of South Central Louisiana president. “Storms like these create an immediate need for dry and secure locations where residents can store the possessions.

“As a member of these communities, U-Haul is in a position to help by providing disaster relief to our neighbors in harm’s way.”
