NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – U-Haul Co. of Northwest California is offering 30 days free use of U-Box portable moving and storage containers to residents of Lake, Napa and Sonoma Counties and surrounding areas who have been evacuated from their homes or need to move belongings away from the recent outbreak of wildfires.

U-Box containers feature 257 cubic feet of space and one-ton capacity, can be packed on your timeframe and can be stored in a secure warehouse until you are ready to retrieve your belongings. 

With U-Box containers, you also can conveniently pick up our custom-designed trailer and tow your U-Box container.

People in need of boxes are encouraged to take advantage of the U-Haul Take a Box, Leave a Box Program.

The program enables customers to return their reusable boxes and others to take them as needed. 

U-Haul encourages anyone who has reusable boxes to drop them at the nearest U-Haul location for another family to reuse, free of charge.
