U-Haul Offers California Flood Victims 30 Days of Free Storage

Disaster relief at 10 participating stores on new unit rentals while vacancy lasts

SAN FRANCISCO (Jan. 17, 2023) — U-Haul® is making 10 Company-owned and -operated stores in California available to offer 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents who have sustained flood damage and need assistance in the recovery process.

Devastating and recurring storms have caused extensive home damage and left standing water in communities across the central region of California. Flooding has rendered roads impassable and destroyed some buildings.

“As we hope for drier conditions ahead so people can begin the clean-up process, we want them to know that U-Haul is here to help,” said Dante Abordo, U-Haul Company of San Francisco president. “Anyone impacted by flooding can make use of a new storage room at no cost for one month at our participating stores, while availability exists.”

One month of U-Box container usage may also be available if self-storage units are filled at a participating store. U-Box delivery to residents’ homes includes container drop-off and pick-up.

The U-Haul disaster relief program is based on new storage unit rentals and is subject to vacancy at each facility. People seeking more information about the offer or needing to arrange 30 days of free self-storage or U-Box container usage should contact the participating store nearest them:
