This year is different. More challenging. In many ways. For many
people.
Interest rates and gas prices may entice some movers. But others
changing addresses this summer don't simply want to move; they have
to move. Whether it's a job change, moving closer to loved ones, or
just demanding a better living situation – the need for convenient
and affordable mobility remains constant.
U-Haul® is here to help. For 75 years, we've been the DIY moving
experts. Our mission is to ensure your move goes smoothly, address
COVID-19 concerns directly, and protect our millions of customers
and 30,000 dedicated Team Members.
What you need to know:
- U-Haul is OPEN. We're part of America's critical
infrastructure providing need-based essential services.
- Equipment preparation standards have intensified. We're
sanitizing steering wheels, door handles, control knobs, keys,
seats and seatbelts. Cargo areas are cleaned. Retail stores are
sanitized continually. Distancing plans and capacity limits are
observed.
- Moving is allowed and happening in every state. Whether states
have reopened or remain in lockdown, there are NO
restrictions banning interstate travel.
- Still concerned about being stopped, delayed or harassed during
interstate or highway travel? U-Haul Safe Passage Protection® is
now available for $10 on one-way
rentals from 10 Northeast states (including New York) to offer peace of mind in heavily
impacted regions. The policy offers up to $5,000 in lost wages, food, lodging, medical and
rental costs stemming from interference, while providing 24/7
access to U-Haul attorneys.

embraced. Customers are encouraged to complete online check-in
