One Month Free Storage at U-Haul Self-Storage Locations
Last Updated:
Moving isn’t always a straight line from point A to point B; sometimes there’s some in-between time. Maybe you’re waiting on keys, wrapping up a lease, or just trying to keep everything organized during the chaos. If that sounds familiar, having a little extra storage can make a big difference. And if you’re planning a move with U-Haul, either in-town or one-way, you may be able to get your first month of storage for free.
How Does the One-Month Free Storage Offer Work?
If you’re planning your move with a U-Haul truck or trailer, you may qualify for one month of free storage at a participating self-storage location.
The first step is to reserve your truck or trailer and choose a storage location near you. You can reserve using either the U-Haul website or the app. Once you reach checkout, you’ll be able to verify your eligibility for the offer using your contract number. Once everything is confirmed and you’ve claimed your offer, it’s time to move into your storage unit and enjoy your first month of base rent at zero cost. Keep in mind, this promotion is only available at participating locations, so it’s always a good idea to double-check availability when making your reservation.
Which Locations Offer a Free Month of Storage?
With thousands of U-Haul locations nationwide, finding a participating storage facility is usually pretty straightforward. To check availability, search for a storage location near your destination and look at the facility details page. Any active promotions, including the one-month of free storage offer, will be clearly listed during the reservation process, so you can confirm everything before booking.

Ways to Claim Your Free Month of Storage
Once you qualify, claiming your free month is simple. You can choose the method that works best for your move.
Online Move-In
Find the storage unit that works best for your needs and complete your move-in entirely online. You can complete this process entirely through the U-Haul website or the app. During checkout, enter your truck or trailer contract number to confirm eligibility. You can find the contract number in the top left section of your rental contract. You’ll receive your access details once everything is set. Check out our online move-in info page for more details.
Reserve Online, Move in at the Facility
Book your unit online via the U-Haul website or the app, then stop by the location to finish your move-in with a team member. With over 2,000 U-Haul locations and a network of affiliates, you have a wide range of location choices to choose from. You only need to bring your contract number to apply for the offer.
By Phone
If you prefer more assistance with booking, U-Haul can take care of it for you. Just call your preferred storage facilities or 1-800-GO-U-HAUL to reserve your unit. Provide your contract number, then complete your move-in at the location.
In Person
Visit a participating location and speak with a team member. They can help you reserve a unit and apply the free month offer if you qualify.
What’s Included in One-Month Free Storage Offer
Qualifying customers can receive their first month of base rent at no cost at participating U-Haul storage locations. If you’re moving long-distance or have a gap between move-out and move-in dates, this can be especially helpful. It gives you a flexible place to store your belongings without feeling rushed. It’s also useful during home renovations or other in-between situations where you need temporary space.
Keep in mind that this does not include optional coverage, taxes, or additional fees and does not apply to months beyond the promotional period.
Another benefit to keep in mind is the U-Haul 1-Year Price Lock. After your first free month, your monthly base rate stays the same for a full year at participating locations. Check out more information about the 1-year lock rate.
Why Choose U-Haul Self-Storage
While our competitors may offer low-cost move-in rates, your initial move-in cost might be higher, as they usually charge an admin fee or require a deposit, which increases your upfront cost. In some cases, these low introductory rates may also increase over time, so it’s hard to know what you’ll end up paying every month in the long run.
With U-Haul, what you see is what you get. There are no administrative fees or deposits required. Making a reservation and moving in are free, and any add-on services, and you’re set! Moreover, you can redeem this offer at any U-Haul-owned and managed location that is offering a free month of storage, not just the location where you picked up or returned your truck and/or trailer.
You can also manage your storage easily through the U-Haul website or app to stay on top of your move without extra hassle.
