Flood Relief: U-Haul Canada Offers 30 Days Free Storage to Storm Victims in

8 facilities in 5 cities are providing a month of storage locker and U-Box container use on new rentals

TORONTO, Ont. (July 15, 2024) - U-Haul^® announced it is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box^® container usage to residents impacted by heavy rains and residential flooding in several cities across Ontario.

Eight U-Haul stores in five cities are extending the disaster relief program.

Major thunderstorms have caused treacherous conditions throughout much of Halton Region and neighboring cities like London, causing many homes to take on water and basements to flood.

Access to dry and secure self-storage and portable storage containers is essential for communities during the recovery process.

"Due to unusual thunderstorms and heavy rains over the past few days, we know many residents and businesses across Halton Region have experienced significant flooding," stated Jake Spelic, U-Haul Canada Area District Vice President. "We have seen and heard of flooding in areas across Burlington, Oakville, Milton and Hamilton, and we want to help those in need."

"There's a large amount of flooding in London and water is getting in people's basements," added Dave Anstett, U-Haul Co. of Western Ontario president. "We want to let these families know that we have a program for one month of free storage services when disasters like this happen."

The 30-day free offer applies to new self-storage locker and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. The U-Box offer may include on-site storage at secure U-Haul centers, or residential delivery and pick-up of portable containers.
