U-Haul offers free self-storage to Oklahomans affected by tornadoes

The U-Haul Company of Oklahoma City is offering 30 days of free self-storage to all residents who were affected by devastating tornadoes and severe storms that recently swept through many Oklahoma towns.

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 20, 2013 — The U-Haul Company of Oklahoma City is offering 30 days of free self-storage to all residents who were affected by devastating tornadoes and severe storms that recently swept through many Oklahoma towns.   

U-Haul centers have supplies available to help with tornado recovery, such as boxes, tarps, propane and propane tanks. U-Haul urges customers to stop in to ensure that their propane tanks are topped off, since propane is a good thing to have on hand in the event of long-term power outages.

In addition to the 30-days-free self-storage assistance being offered, people who need boxes can take advantage of the U-Haul Take a Box, Leave a Box Program. The program enables customers to return their reusable boxes and allows others to take them as needed – for free.

U-Haul encourages anyone who has any type of reusable box to drop it off at the nearest U-Haul location and allow another family to reuse the box, free of charge, instead of throwing the reusable box into the recycling bin.

Families needing more information about the 30-days-free self-storage assistance program should contact the following U-Haul regional office.
