The U-Haul Company of Alabama today announced that it has expanded the U-Haul network of self-storage locations with its purchase of an existing Alabama storage facility located at 1588 Carson Road in Fultondale, Alabama. The new U-Haul Storage of Fultondale boasts 436 storage units with more than 59,500 square feet of self-storage. U-Haul Storage of Fultondale boasts 17 single-story structures featuring inside storage, outdoor storage, drive-up storage and truck/RV storage.

U-Haul Storage of Fultondale features 24-hour security with electronically controlled access, state-of-the-art digital video surveillance, your lock/your key, both climate- and nonclimate-controlled storage rooms, FREE use of storage carts, no deposit or administration fees, a convenient credit-card payment plan and available low-cost Safestor Protection to help safeguard customers' personal possessions.

"We are pleased to be expanding our presence in Fultondale and look forward to continuing our long-standing relationships with local communities throughout Alabama," stated Scott Fall, president, U-Haul Company of Alabama. "Moreover, with the expansion of U-Haul self-storage operations, we are better equipped to meet our customers' current and future needs. Families needing the finest in moving services now will have increased convenience and a shorter distance to travel when moving and storing their goods, which not only will make their move easier but also will have the positive effect of reducing the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere," Fall said.

U-Haul Storage of Fultondale will be selling a wide variety of environmentally friendly packing supplies: boxes made out of recyclable materials, 100 percent biodegradable packing peanuts and moving pads made from recycled denim. Also on site will be a Take a Box/Leave a Box display, which allows customers or anyone in the community to leave moving boxes or unwanted electronics boxes for another customer to reuse for free, instead of throwing them away or recycling them.

Customers who rent a U-Haul moving van or trailer for a one-way move can receive one month of free storage before or after their move.

Customers can rent storage from more than 1,100 U-Haul owned storage facilities across the United States and Canada by calling their neighborhood U-Haul center, visiting uhaul.com or contacting the U-Haul national reservation system, at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.
