U-Haul is making 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage available to victims of the powerful tornadoes that left a path of destruction Saturday in Rogers and Bentonville, Ark., Claremore and Pryor, Okla., Valley View, Texas, and surrounding areas.
Tornadic storms tore through buildings, uprooted trees, downed power lines, and damaged numerous homes in these communities. Several fatalities were reported. Tens of thousands of residents remain without power. Many families are now seeking new places to live or store their possessions.
Access to dry and secure self-storage rooms and portable storage containers is essential during the clean-up and recovery process after natural disasters.
U-Haul Company of Tulsa president Jim Smith and U-Haul Company of North Dallas president Kevin Flanagan have combined to make eight stores available to help people affected by these storms by providing one month of free storage services.
The 30-day free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. The U-Box offer applies to on-site storage at Company facilities in Arkansas and Texas. In Oklahoma, residential delivery and pick-up of U-Box containers may be available as part of the offer.
