U-Haul prepares to offer disaster relief across Florida

After Hurricane Helene and before Hurricane Milton, U-Haul announced it is now offering 30 days free self-storage and U-Box portable container use across Florida for those impacted by the storms.

All 13 U-Haul companies in Florida have made their 162 centers available to offer the disaster relief program, including several companies in southeastern Florida that were outside the impact zone of Helene but could be impacted by the reach of Milton. This allows every Floridian to access 30 days of free storage at any U-Haul center in the state, whether preparing for Milton or needing help during the clean-up process from Helene.

“Finding safety away from the storm and protecting your family comes first,” says Mario Martinez, U-Haul Area District Vice President for Florida’s southern region in a statement. “But if we can help by securing a family’s valued possessions in a U-Haul facility during these storms at no cost for one month, we are happy to provide that service to our neighbors.”
