Make your business more profitable

Add the credibility of a brand name to your business. With more retail locations in the US and Canada than McDonald's and 12 million rentals each year, U-Haul has great name recognition because customers recognize the name as the product to rent, just as Coke is linked to soft drinks. And we back it up with a fleet of 97,000 trucks and 113,000 trailers – the largest in the industry – designed specifically for do-it-yourself movers.

Attract more customers to your primary business. When U-Haul customers drop off equipment at your location, you and your employees will be the first people that they see in their new neighborhood. This means you will automatically come to their mind when they want to purchase your products or services. In addition, U-Haul is the world's single largest Yellow Pages advertiser, providing more exposure to potential moving customers than anyone else in the industry.

Make more money. U-Haul pays an average of 22% commission across all product lines — the highest in the industry. Even if you don't rent self-storage, you can earn commission by renting out rooms at other storage locations. And many of the moving customers that U-Haul brings to you also purchase boxes, rope, tape, locks and other packing supplies. U-Haul dealers enjoy big profits from selling U-Haul moving supplies that not only carry high profit margins but also carry the brand name that outsells all others. In fact, many dealers make as much or more selling sales items as renting moving vans.

No capital investment. You don't pay a thing to become a U-Haul dealer.* There is no franchise fee. You'll earn extra money simply by putting your unused land and labor to productive use.

*The only expense is your monthly phone bill and computer service fee. U-Haul pays for the phone and the installation; the dealer pays the monthly phone bill and computer service fee.

U-Haul fits your business

Any good, clean, creditworthy business with extra land and labor can become a U-Haul dealer. If your location has high visibility and traffic, if you have land available to display U-Haul trucks and trailers, and if you can back that up with your personal commitment, you've got the foundation for success.

Self-storage facilities

U-Haul and self-storage are a perfect fit – many of the moving customers that we bring to you are looking for a place to store their extra goods. You'll be able to take advantage of reservations from our Web site, toll-free phone number and other dealers, and get the largest merchant fee discount for your business's credit card processing. We also offer a full line of boxes and other moving supplies. U-Haul is a member of the Self-Storage Association.

Car rental firms

U-Haul rentals complement a car and van fleet nicely. Car rental firms average more than other dealers in annual U-Haul commissions. U-Haul is a member of both the American Car Rental Association and the Truck Rental and Leasing Association.

Hardware stores

U-Haul brings independents additional income to compete with the big-box home improvement companies. Moving customers often need the supplies your business offers, such as light bulbs, air filters and repair tools.

Auto service

When U-Haul pioneered do-it-yourself moving in 1945, auto service businesses were the first U-Haul dealer locations because these businesses understand how important service is to the public. And when a customer rents or returns equipment they buy fuel and other services from you.

Rental stores

U-Haul customers often need to rent household items as well. Many rental stores earn more than average because they rent more trailers, which have a higher commission rate. We are a full-fledged member of the American Rental Association.
