Trailer sharing

If you are driving a car or if your moving truck is filled to capacity, hitch up a U-Haul trailer. Trailers reduce the environmental impact of moving because they do not emit CO₂ or other greenhouse gasses. U-Haul trailers are built specifically for household moving. Built with recyclable materials, many U-Haul trailers were still on the road 30-40 years after they are built. Our trailers´ aerodynamic design helps increase the fuel efficiency of the towing vehicle. The technology used to design and build U-Haul trailers is completely sustainable.

Trailers have been instrumental in the increased mobility of North Americans since the end of WWII. Inexpensive rentals enable people to move to new jobs, new opportunities, etc. Van-line movers were available to those with money, but not to the average person. So it is logical that trailers, a relatively simple product to construct, became the Conestoga wagon of postwar America. Trailers continue to be one of the most vital tools American families use. Today we see trailers used for everything from moving households, to transporting recreational and landscaping equipment, to providing extra cargo space for vacations. U-Haul continues to supply customers with quality products at low costs that everyone can afford.

Shared use of U-Haul trailers reduces the cost for users and reduces the need to build new trailers, which makes for a win-win-win situation; environmentally, socially and economically.
