Storm Recovery: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage in Louisiana

NEW ORLEANS (Dec. 14, 2022) — U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage at nine Louisiana facilities to residents impacted by the tornado and severe storms that hit the area this week.

High-speed winds damaged many buildings and homes across the state. Accessibility to local storage can assist in the community’s recovery and rebuilding after natural disasters.

“As our neighbors begin the process of cleaning up, we want to provide them with a secure place to store their possessions,” stated Warren Iles, U-Haul Company of Northern Louisiana president. “Many of our own U-Haul Team Members live in these communities and have seen the destruction left behind. We want to be there for those in need. We urge anyone needing a secure place to store their belongings to give us a call and receive a free storage unit or U-Box container for one month.”

U-Box deliveries to residents’ homes includes drop-off and pick-up of the container(s). Use of a U-Box container is free for 30 days under the current offer. The free month of storage is available to customers renting new units and is subject to vacancy at each U-Haul facility.

“We know our local families were greatly affected by the torrential storms and tornadoes that have been ravaging the entire New Orleans metro area,” said Patrick Allen, U-Haul Company of Southern Louisiana president. “We invite anyone in need to take advantage of U-Haul Company’s disaster relief program.”
