Published on July 17, 2024

ST. LOUIS – U-Haul will offer up to 30 days of free storage for people impacted by Tuesday’s flash flooding in the St. Louis region.

U-Haul is also offering one free month of U-Box container usage. The services come as part of U-Haul’s disaster relief program.

These services will be available at 12 St. Louis-area locations across Missouri and Illinois.

Torrential rainfall led to widespread flash flooding Tuesday, generating nearly seven inches of rain for some parts of the St. Louis region.

“The unexpected heavy rains have caused flooding across the St. Louis metro area and left many with the need to relocate belongings from their home or business to a dry and secure space,” said Mike White, U-Haul Co. of Missouri Northeast president. “U-Haul would like to help those impacted by offering one month of free self-storage or U-Box container storage at participating centers.”

U-Haul says the free self-storage and U-Box rentals are based on availability. The U-Box offer includes a month’s free use of a storage container at a U-Haul center, or a discounted delivery and pick-up service fee of $49 for flood victims needing on-site portable storage at their homes.

For those affected by flash flooding who would like to seek 30 days of free self-storage, contact the closest U-Haul facility near you.
