U-Haul Disaster Relief Assistance Efforts

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with those who have been adversely affected by the recent storm activity in Oklahoma. All U-Haul facilities in the affected areas are open for business in order to service the many families who are needing our assistance.

Victims of a disaster
U-Haul has a long-time policy of assisting those in need during natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, etc., by offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box portable moving and self-storage at participating U-Haul self-storage facilities on an as-available basis.

U-Haul offers 30 Days of Free Self-Storage and U-Box Portable Moving and Storage to Oklahoma Tornado Victims

If you need assistance with more than the 30-days-free self-storage, we have been advised to provide you with the following instructions: Register first with FEMA at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) and then register with the American Red Cross at 1-866-GET-INFO (438-4636).

Disaster relief assistance requests
U-Haul is receiving hundreds of phone calls and emails from individuals and organizations requesting support with getting much needed relief items to the areas affected by recent tornados in Oklahoma. Because the need is so great with the volume of requests we are receiving U-Haul has partnered and is cooperating with the American Red Cross, the military, government agencies, local police and fire departments, and organizations we have existing partnerships with, to help and support the victims of this terrible disaster. If you are involved with any of these groups, please email your assistance request to publicrelations@uhaul.com.

Customers with reservations in an area affected by recent storm activity
If you have any questions about your existing reservation please contact 800-GO-UHAUL (800-468- 4285).

Our community outreach

U-Haul International, Inc. has an obligation to the local communities in which we do business, and for many years we have focused on the endorsement of social programs by partnering with agencies and events that directly serve the most basic of human needs – food, clothing and shelter. U-Haul also has a commitment to supporting many military and veteran organizations, as well as organizations that benefit the community as a whole. U-Haul helps the organizations we support through in-kind donations of equipment, self-storage and merchandise.

U-Haul does not have a charitable foundation, formal grant or scholarship program.

Requests for donations must be submitted in writing at least three weeks prior to the event or need, and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. All requests must be submitted by a social or charitable organization with 501(c)3 status; no requests from individuals will be considered. Any requests received outside of the three-week time frame will be automatically denied.

Your request must include:

Name of organization
Name of person requesting assistance
Return mailing address, email and phone number
Type of donation requested
How the donation will be used
For equipment, indicate: size, type, locations along with rental pick-up/drop-off dates and times
A copy of 501(c)3 tax information

Not eligible for donations:

Beauty pageants and individual competitions
Race teams and car clubs
School activities and sports teams
Organizations that do not benefit members of the community
Telephone-solicitation groups of any nature, including "for profit" companies receiving a percentage of money raised
Political entities
Use of trucks to transport animals. U-Haul moving vans are not designed for transporting animals and do not provide for proper ventilation and airflow. It is against the terms of the rental agreement to transport any living animal in the back of U-Haul moving vans.

Requests for the donation of a truck or trailer for ownership

U-Haul does not donate its fleet of retired trucks or trailers. All U-Haul trucks are on a lease program; therefore, old, retired or for-sale trucks are never donated. The ownership of our rental fleet is in the form of a leasing agreement rather than true ownership. That structure prohibits us from being able to donate our equipment.

If you feel your organization meets the above criteria, please submit your detailed request by letter, fax or email.
