Does U-Haul have a military discount?

U-Haul says it has no specific military discount, so neither active duty members nor veterans get a set rate cut. Service members making a PPM move can still get one month of free storage with a one-way truck or trailer rental or by showing DD Form 2278.

Veterans: No.

The cheapest way to buy U-Haul as a veteran

The military discount is not always the lowest price. Compare it with these before you buy.

With no military rate, compare a one-way rental that brings a free storage month against renting storage on its own. U-Haul notes that PPM costs are reimbursed through your transportation office, so keep every receipt and weight ticket.

No military discount exists to combine with other offers.
