Save Money AND the Environment!

By
Home Stager

Here's a great way to save money AND the environment! Did you know that U-Haul has several programs that allow customers to get together to share rides and moving boxes?boxes


This benefits customers, communities AND the planet by keeping moving supplies out of
the landfills and reducing fuel consumption by sharing rides. Check out the U-Hall Box Exchange to learn more!

U-Haul also has the Armed Forces Connection that helps soldiers and their families save money by sharing rides and storage rooms with other soldiers.

The U-Haul College Connection® connects college students with each other so that they too can share rides and storage rooms. College students check out the all new student storage and shipping service today!

Karen, that makes so much sense, thanks for sharing with us. Almost time for the college kids to come back home for the summer.

Karen ~  I feel I have single-handedly supported U-Haul over the past several years (LOL), so this is great information!  Wonder why I wasn't plugged-into this?  Oh, yeah, must have been to busy moving and being self-absorbed!  Hope you have a great Mother's Day!!!

Great idea, Karen.  Saving money and saving landfills.  One thing we have always done is taken apart our moving boxes so they lie flat, then store them under the beds waiting for our next move.  I still have boxes from 5 moves ago, LOL.

I'm familiar with their box exchange but the rest was news to me.  U-Haul is a very consumer friendly company and I'll make sure I pass this information along to my clients.

Karen--just saw your post and did not know about these programs.  My niece who is in college is actually looking for shared storage right now, so thank you for this information.
