U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage and U-Box to Vero Beach Flood Victims

VERO BEACH, Fla., May 18, 2016 -- U-Haul Company of Eastern Florida is offering 30 days free self-storage and U-Box container usage to residents of Vero Beach, Port Saint Lucie and surrounding areas who have been affected by the ongoing flooding and tornado damage stemming from Tuesday's storms.

Portions of Florida have taken on significant water with the chance for continued rain throughout the week. Additional storms could cause more home and property damage, creating the need for storage options.

"U-Haul has been serving customers for more than 70 years, so when our communities face difficult times, we stand behind them," said Cal Conner, U-Haul Company of Eastern Florida president. "The flooding in some areas has been up to 11 inches. There was a tornado that touched down and caused damage to trailers and RVs in Lakewood Park. People can use a dry, safe and secure facility to store their belongings at times like these."

People seeking more information about the 30 days free self-storage assistance or needing to make storage arrangements should contact:

U-Haul Moving & Storage of Fort Pierce 
3626 S. U.S. Hwy. 1
Fort Pierce, FL 34983
(772) 464-9400

This location may offer 30 days of free U-Box portable moving and self-storage containers if storage units are unavailable. With U-Box containers, you can conveniently pick up our custom-designed trailer and take your U-Box container with you. U-Haul can also store your U-Box container in our secure warehouse or pick up and deliver it to a location of your choice.

U-Haul stores have needed supplies to help with storm recovery, including boxes, tarps, propane, propane tanks and much more. U-Haul urges customers to ensure their tanks are topped off since propane is good to have in the event of long-term power outages.

In addition to its 30 days free self-storage assistance, U-Haul is proud to be at the forefront of aiding communities in need as an official American Red Cross Disaster Responder.
