U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage to Hawaii Flood Victims

HONOLULU, Hawaii (March 10, 2021) — U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage to Hawaii residents impacted by extensive flooding.

Heavy rains have inundated the islands and caused many homes to take on floodwater.

“The severe weather is expected to continue throughout the week and residents are already seeing damage,” said Kaleo Alau, U-Haul Company of Hawaii president. “Floods create an immediate need for self-storage and we want to make sure our neighbors are cared for.”

The free month of storage is available to customers renting new units and is subject to vacancy at each U-Haul facility.
