A Dry Safe Place

U-Haul Companies across South Florida are stepping up, offering 30 days of free self-storage services to help flood victims.

Recent intense flash flooding has left communities throughout South Florida underwater, causing many families to evacuate their homes, businesses to close temporarily, and even interstates to shut down.

“It’s bad in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach. There were cars floating down the road,” said Cal Conner, U-Haul Co. of Eastern Florida president. “There are going to be a lot of Floridians needing help to deal with this disaster. If we can play a small role by giving them free access to dry storage for 30 days, we’re happy to do that.”

Once the waters subside, the clean-up process is expected to take some time. Access to dry and secure self-storage options is critical.

U-Haul’s 30-day offer applies to new self-storage rentals and is based on availability.
