DALLAS, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is offering
30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to
Texas residents across the entire
state impacted by the ongoing winter storms and widespread power
outages.
The disaster relief assistance program is being extended at 171
Company-owned and -operated storage facilities in Texas. Visit uhaul.com/storage to locate
a U-Haul storage facility near you. Contact the store by phone, or
visit in person, to take advantage of the offer.
The free month of storage is available to customers renting new
units and is subject to vacancy at each U-Haul facility.
Accessibility to clean, dry and secure storage can assist
communities with their recovery efforts, particularly for residents
that have had frozen pipes burst and cause home damage.
"Folks are facing severe water damage in some instances, and we
want to offer every one of our Texas neighbors in need a secure place to
store their belongings at no cost for one month," said Matt Merrill, U-Haul Area District Vice
President. "We have the expertise and infrastructure to help, and
that's exactly what we're going to do."
The 30 days free offer applies to U-Box® portable storage
containers as well. With 257 cubic feet of space and one-ton
capacity, U-Box containers can be filled at U-Haul
facilities and stored in secure warehouses.
U-Haul is also working diligently with multiple propane
suppliers to ensure it can keep up with demand across Texas. "With the rolling blackouts, people are
relying on propane to keep warm," Merrill said.

thousands of propane customers daily at more than 1,150
Company-owned and -operated stores where the fuel is offered. Find
