Only Pay for Containers You Need: When you store your belongings with U-Box, you can trust that you'll never run out of space. With our flexible pricing model, you only pay for the containers you use. This means that if you opt for more containers than you actually need, we’ll refund you for those containers and pick them up at no additional cost.

Since U-Box containers are a U-Haul product, we have the infrastructure to offer U-Box containers in all 50 states and Canada, providing the most coverage in North America. Plus, we even ship internationally!

Store Almost Anywhere: U-Box containers are specifically designed for easy placement in parking spaces, driveways, and other tight spots where our competitors' containers can't fit. Whether you're tackling a home renovation, working on a job site, or just need some extra storage for college, U-Box containers have got you covered wherever you are.
