U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage at 6 Stores

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents impacted by the deadly tornadoes that hit Arkansas and several other states on Friday night.

Media reports have attributed at least five deaths, numerous hospitalizations, and widespread devastation across the state. Little Rock was among the cities to endure extensive damage, and six U-Haul stores in the metro area have been made available to help.

With numerous families displaced and other homes that will require repairs, accessibility to dry and secure self-storage units and portable storage containers during the clean-up process is always beneficial to communities affected by natural disasters.

“We at U-Haul are deeply saddened by each loss of life,” stated Angela Cogar, U-Haul Company of Arkansas president. “While property can be replaced, lives cannot. Even though Friday’s tornado outbreak and severe weather was predicted, it came on suddenly and caused a large amount of damage.

“Thankfully, our teams have been responding in their hometowns and at our U-Haul stores. We stand ready to help store your property for 30 days at no cost if you were affected by the storms. May God bless and keep you.”

U-Box deliveries to residents’ homes includes drop-off and pick-up of containers. The offer of a traditional self-storage room is available to customers renting new units and is based on vacancy at participating U-Haul facilities.
