COVID-19 Response Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is U-Haul open during the COVID-19 outbreak?

    As an essential service provider, U-Haul is open for business to meet the needs of our customers and communities. U-Haul offers a vast interconnected mobility network and access to equipment enables the public to move where jobs are, improve their housing situation, remedy a health problem, move home from college, etc. U-Haul provides services to First Responders, online retailers and shippers delivering necessities to families who cannot leave their homes and small businesses who now need to deliver direct to customers to stay afloat.

    At U-Haul self-storage facilities, customers store household goods, medical supplies, equipment and products for their business.

    In addition to a range of boxes and moving supplies, U-Haul also offers propane at 1,100 locations. Propane remains an essential fuel source for families to heat their living spaces and cook their food.

  • Some cities or states are following shelter-in-place type protocols, are you open in those areas?

    Yes. U-Haul products and services fall into a number of "critical infrastructures" defined by The Office of Homeland Security including transportation, logistics and energy sectors. We offer needs-based products and services that cannot be substituted, and for which access cannot be postponed.

  • I'm worried I won’t be able to get to my destination.

    There are no restrictions prohibiting travel between States.

  • What is U-Haul doing to protect customers amid the outbreak?

    To protect our customers, we have intensified our already high standard of preparing our equipment for customer use. We have added specific steps, including sanitizing EVERY:

    • Steering Wheel
    • Interior and Exterior Door Handle
    • Radio and Temperature Control Knob
    • Key and Key-Tag / Fob
    • Seat / Seatbelts

    Our retail stores are following a rigorous sanitization schedule and a 6ft. distancing plan specific to each location.

  • What is U-Haul doing to protect Team Members amid the outbreak?

    As "essential critical infrastructure workers," our Team Members have stepped up to meet the public's needs during this challenging time. We are proud of, and grateful for, the service-oriented people who comprise Team U-Haul.

    The health and well-being of our Team Members remains a top priority. Across the U.S. and Canada, we have bolstered our cleaning procedures at every location, encouraged best practices put forth by leading health officials and offered enhanced benefits to all Team Members, regardless if they are part-time or on our medical plan. As you would expect, Team Members feeling sick or showing any symptoms are to stay at home.

    Our CEO has encouraged team members to remain at home if they are fearful to come into work and to let their manager know so that we can find alternative ways to cover their work and meet continued customer demand.

  • I'm following social distancing procedures. How can I rent a U-Haul truck and limit my interaction with others?

    U-Haul is the only company in the industry to offer services that inherently promote social distancing.

    Customers have the option to pick up and return moving trucks or vans every hour of every day with U-Haul Truck Share 24/7®, which enables the entire rental transaction to be conducted on their smartphone via the remote assistance of our trained Live Verify℠ agents.
