Information on UHaul U-boxes for college summer storage

U-Box is UHaul’s version of a “POD”.  It is 5 ft. wide, 8ft. Long and 7’ tall. Most studio apartments will fit in 1 pod,
 It may take 2 if you have a lot of furniture. 1-3 dorm rooms ⁷ fit in 1 Ubox so you can split the expense if you have someone to share with.  If you do a search for U-Haul- Uboxes you will find photos and videos that may help you decide if they will work for you.
Cost - U-Haul charges $75  per month +tax for each Ubox. Rent starts on the day you move in. U-Haul does not prorate when you move out, so if you know when you will be moving out try to make your move-in date coincide with move-out. For example: if you are moving out August 15 , make your move-in date on April or May 16th or later. That way you don’t get charged another month even if you are only 1 or 2 days past. We recommend starting the rental on your Ubox no later than April 20th or we may not have availability.

To make a U-UBOX reservation:
Go to Uhaul.com
Hover over the UBOX CONTAINER tab at the top.
Click the RATES AND INFO tab.
Choose “Hays, KS to Hays, KS” on the “moving to” tab (so they know you are just storinging, not moving).
Click “
continue”, enter in your address


Delivery: There are 2  options.

  1. We are not offering delivery this year due to being short staffed so please do not choose this option - uhaul will charge you and you’ll have to get a refund from uhaul.

2. You can bring your items to our location and load your Ubox at our location, you will bring your stuff out and you’ll access your box until you tell us that you are finish so we can put it into storage.
3. If you have an SUV or pickup  you can pick up the box yourself on a special trailer,  load it at your location and return it to us. It takes a 2” ball and working lights on your trailer hookup.
4. We have pickups and small moving trucks for rent, you can use these to take your box to your location or to bring your stuff to us.

Haul will offer you damage coverage options, you can choose one or click “decline”.
