U-Haul began construction of the Apache Junction facility in 2018. Customers
have access to truck and trailer rentals, boxes and moving
supplies, towing equipment, professional hitch installation, U-Box
containers and more.
Reserve equipment on the U-Haul app or contact Reservations at
1-800-GO-UHAUL.
"The City of Apache Junction
has been instrumental in supporting this project," said
Andy Smith, U-Haul Company of
Eastern Arizona president. "AJ is
the gateway to the Valley of the Sun and people are moving to this
area in droves. We're eager to support a growing community with the
need-based products and services AJ residents have been demanding
for years."
Do-it-yourself movers arriving in Apache Junction accounted for 51% of all
one-way U-Haul traffic in and out of the market (49% departures) in
2023, making it one of the Valley's many growth cities.
"AJ is booming," added Smith. "The amount of residential and
commercial development in the area is noticeable. It's no surprise
either. AJ is a scenic place to live and is close to the best lakes
in the East Valley. U-Haul looks forward to being a strong member
of this community for many years to come."
U-Haul intends to hire 15 Team Members to staff the new store.
U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth within the
Apache Junction community. U-Haul,
honored as a Best for Vets leading veteran-friendly employer by The
Military Times, actively recruits veterans and gives them
preference in the hiring process. Find U-Haul careers

U-Haul continues to benefit the environment through its
shared-use business model. Truck and trailer sharing enables
communities to share moving equipment so that families and
individuals don't need to own large-capacity vehicles to transfer
belongings. Sustainability initiatives like U-Haul Adaptive
Reuse (the preserving and repurposing of existing buildings
for new stores), truck modifications to improve fuel economy, and
plastic Ready-To-Go Boxes® that are shared hundreds
of times before being recycled are among the many ways U-Haul
promotes green business. U-Box Load Share, the Company's latest
sustainability program, was just named the 2023 Best in Biz gold
winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of the
Year.
