Tornado Victims: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage in Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 3, 2020) — U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents impacted by the tornado and severe storms that slammed Middle Tennessee early Tuesday morning.

Tens of thousands of residents are without power and many homes and businesses sustained damages when the weather moved through the state. A number of lives were lost.

“Many of our neighbors are facing devastation and a long road of clean-up and recovery,” said Jeff Porter, U-Haul Company of Nashville president. “Some people may need a secure place to stow their belongings in the coming days. We are able to help by making our facilities available at no cost for one month.”

U-Haul Company of Nashville has made three stores available to offer the disaster relief assistance program. People seeking more information or needing to arrange 30 days free self-storage should contact the nearest participating facility:
