The U-Haul Co. of Gulf Coast Texas is offering 30 days of free self-storage or U-Box pod storage to Houston residents who’ve been affected by the recent rain storms and severe flooding. Those who wish to take advantage of the self-storage offer can do so at one of four Houston locations:
- 11202 Antoine Drive
- 8518 Highway 6 South
- 1617 San Jacinto
- 2415 S. Dairy Ashford Road
Storm victims who opt for U-Box storage can take the pod to their location of choice using a custom-designed trailer. Alternatively, U-Haul can pick up and deliver the container on the user’s behalf or store it in its secure warehouse, according to a company press release."The severe storms that recently swept through areas of Houston have proven to be devastating and have caused a great deal of damage throughout the communities we serve," said Todd West, area-district vice president. "We hope this effort will help provide assistance to Houston residents who need support."
Houston residents in need can also take advantage of the U-Haul Take a Box, Leave a Box program, which enables customers to use recycled boxes at no charge. Instead of discarding reusable boxes and bins, U-Haul encourages community members to drop them off at the nearest U-Haul location for public access. U-Haul also offers supplies to help with storm recovery such as propane tanks and tarps.
Established in 1945, U-Haul International Inc. has more than 40 million square feet of storage space at more than 1,000 owned and managed facilities throughout North America.
