U-Haul began construction of the Palmetto facility in 2022. Customers will have
access to truck and trailer rentals, boxes and moving supplies,
towing equipment, professional hitch installation, U-Box containers
and more. Propane will be available in the near future.
Reserve equipment on the U-Haul app or contact Reservations at
1-800-GO-UHAUL.
"This is our first U-Haul-owned store in Palmetto, and we're excited to support the
community by investing here," said Dave
Thompson, U-Haul Company of Western Florida president.
"We're conveniently located near the interstate for
accessibility. This area is growing fast, so we need to grow to
keep up with customer demand. Our goal is to provide Palmetto with our trusted self-storage
products and DIY moving solutions at a first-class facility."
U-Haul intends to hire 24 Team Members to staff the new store.
U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth within the
Palmetto community. U-Haul,
honored as a Best for Vets leading veteran-friendly employer by The
Military Times, actively recruits veterans and gives them
preference in the hiring process. Find U-Haul careers

U-Haul continues to benefit the environment through its
shared-use business model. Truck and trailer sharing enables
communities to share moving equipment so that families and
individuals don't need to own large-capacity vehicles to transfer
belongings. Sustainability initiatives like U-Haul Adaptive
Reuse (the preserving and repurposing of existing buildings
for new stores), truck modifications to improve fuel economy, and
plastic Ready-To-Go Boxes® that are shared hundreds
of times before being recycled are among the many ways U-Haul
promotes green business. U-Box Load Share, the Company's latest
sustainability program, was just named the 2023 Best in Biz gold
winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of the
Year.
