U-Haul Offering 30 Days of Free Self-Storage and U-Box Portable Moving and Self-Storage to Ontario Residents Affected by Heavy Thunderstorms and Recent Flooding

TORONTO - (July 09, 2013) — The U-Haul Companies of Eastern Ontario and Central Ontario are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box portable moving and self-storage to people throughout the greater Toronto area who were affected by the recent heavy thunderstorms and flooding.

With U-Box portable moving and self-storage, you can conveniently pick up our custom-designed trailer and take your U-Box container with you. U-Haul also can store the U-Box container in our secure warehouse or even pick up and deliver it to a location of your choice.

U-Haul centers are open for business and have much-needed supplies available to help with 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 – 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 one of the following U-Haul regional offices.

We will do our best to help our friends and neighbors in this time of need.”
