U-Haul Expands 30 Days Free Self-Storage Offer ahead of Hurricane Delta

LAFAYETTE, La. (Oct. 8, 2020) — U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage to Louisiana residents who stand to be impacted by Hurricane Delta.

The Category 3 storm is threatening to strike southwestern Louisiana by Friday.

“Parts of Louisiana are still recovering from Hurricane Laura which hit just 6 weeks ago,” said Jerry Bowden, U-Haul Company of South Central Louisiana president. “As folks prepare their homes and make plans, we urge anyone in low-lying areas to take advantage of our disaster relief assistance.”

Earlier this week, U-Haul made 12 southern Louisiana facilities available to offer assistance. Find that press release here.
