The 2 facilities will cater to RV owners,
outdoor adventurers, DIY movers and storage customers
U-Haul® is revealing plans for two properties in beautiful Moab
that will better meet the moving, self-storage and recreational
needs of Grand County.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Moab will be a new retail, moving
and self-storage center at 3798 E. Sunny Acres Lane.
The property was acquired in March 2023 and will begin serving
customers from a temporary retail showroom on Aug. 19 while
offering truck and trailer rentals, moving supplies and more. When
the center is completed in March 2025, it will feature 700
climate-controlled self-storage units for rent.
The second property, U-Box & Storage of Moab, will serve as
a portable storage and secure RV parking facility at 11860
S. Highway 191. It is scheduled to open in January 2025. U-Haul
will implement its ecofriendly Adaptive Reuse program to transform
the industrial warehouse currently occupying the lot.
In addition to repurposing the existing warehouse space, plans
call for a second building to accommodate 750 portable moving and
storage containers. U-Box® has been honored repeatedly as the
best moving container in the industry.
Moab is located between Arches and Canyonlands National Parks,
making it a premier destination for outdoor activities like
mountain biking, off-roading and camping.
“We are very excited to become a member of the Moab business
community,” said Brad Ling, U-Haul Company of South Utah president.
“This is one of the country’s most famous areas for outdoor
recreation and beautiful landscapes.
“Our expansion in Moab will provide access to affordable
solutions for moving, self-storage, and secure on-site RV and ATV
storage, in addition to many other trusted services that U-Haul
customers demand.”
Ling plans to hire up to 19 Team Members to staff both
facilities. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth
in the Moab community. U-Haul, honored as a Best for Vets employer
by The Military Times, actively recruits veterans and gives them
preference in the hiring process. Find U-Haul careers at

Acquisition of the warehouse was driven by U-Haul Corporate
Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports infill developments to
help local communities lower their carbon footprint. The adaptive
reuse of existing buildings reduces the amount of energy and
resources required for new-building materials and helps cities
reduce their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.
Until the Moab stores are available, customers can find U-Haul
products at two small businesses in Moab serving as rental
locations for trucks and trailers. The nearest full-service store
is in Grand Junction, Colo.
