Outlet offers U-Haul sharing

U-Haul Co. of Texas announced this week that Appliance Outlet in San Benito has signed on as a U-Haul® neighborhood dealer to serve the San Benito community.

Appliance Outlet, located at 1235 E. Expressway 83, will offer essential services such as U-Haul trucks, trailers, towing equipment, moving supplies and in-store pickup for boxes.

Normal business hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday-Friday and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday. To reserve U-Haul products at this dealer location, call (956) 399-1577 or visit https://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-San-Benito-TX-78586/017672/.

Appliance Outlet owner Mark Cortez said that he is proud to team-up with the industry leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage to better meet the demands of Cameron County.

According to a press release, U-Haul has joined forces with independent dealers to offer rental equipment to do-it-yourself movers since 1945. During these challenging times for small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and Canada are generating supplemental income through their U-Haul affiliation.

When customers rent from a U-Haul dealer, they are directly supporting an independent small business in their community, the online statement reads.

Since no financial investment is required to be a dealer, these local affiliates are not U-Haul franchises, they are simply small businesses that have committed a portion of their lot space for U-Haul equipment, and a portion of their time to help meet the mobility needs of their neighbors.

U-Haul Truck Share 24/7® allows customers to create an online account and pick up their truck at any hour using only their smartphone with photo feature and GPS. Trained Live Verify agents support customers online, enabling them to skip the lines and go straight to their truck.

According to corporate offices, the enhanced U-Haul app makes it easier for customers to use U-Haul Truck Share 24/7 to access trucks anytime through the self-dispatch and self-return options on their smartphones through our patented Live Verify technology.

U-Haul has been a top rated choice of do-it-yourself movers with more than 23,000 rental locations across all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces. Customer patronage has enabled the U-Haul fleet to grow to 192,200 trucks, 138,500 trailers and 44,500 towing devices.

U-Haul is the third largest self-storage operator in North America with 967,000 rentable units and 83.3 million square feet of self-storage space at owned and managed facilities. Furthermore, U-Haul is the top retailer of propane in the U.S. and the largest installer of permanent trailer hitches in the automotive aftermarket industry.
