U-Haul was founded by a Navy veteran who grew up during the Great Depression.
Tires and gas were still rationed or in short supply during the late 1940s when
U-Haul began serving U.S. customers. Today, that background is central to the
U-Haul Sustainability Program: “Serving the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Our
commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle includes fuel-efficient moving vans,
neighborhood proximity, moving box reuse, moving pads made from discarded
material and packing peanuts that are 100% biodegradable. Learn more about these
