U-Haul has owned the Automall property since 1971. It is home to
regional U-Haul marketing company offices as well as the Tucson
Repair Shop where U-Haul fleet equipment is serviced.
"The Tucson area is growing
every day and U-Haul has to follow suit," said Billy Longenbaugh, U-Haul Company of
Southern Arizona president.
"U-Box containers provide an easy and secure way to ship and
store belongings. Portable moving containers are increasingly
popular and greater demand means we need to expand our offerings.
U-Haul customers crave convenience. That's what we're here to
provide."
U-Haul dealers in and around Tucson continue to be available to serve DIY
movers. U-Haul has partnered with independent dealers to provide
communities with accessible mobility since 1945. During these
challenging times, more than 21,000 small businesses across the
U.S. and Canada are generating
supplemental income by partnering with U-Haul. When customers rent
from their local U-Haul dealers, they are directly supporting small
businesses in their community. Because there is no financial
investment from dealers, they are not U-Haul franchises. They are
simply small businesses with enough lot space to park U-Haul
equipment and enough time to welcome more customers while meeting
the mobility needs of their neighbors. Learn how to partner with
