This plus the presence of some Uhaul trucks ond/or trailers creates on site advertising. The more trafic passing your storage facility the more effective the advetising. Phone answering should be changed to include Uhaul, such as "Thank you for calling XYZ Storage and Uhaul. How may we help you?" Adding Uhaul makes extra signage available at no charge from Uhaul.

We have been running a fleet of 150-200 cars and trucks alongside our storage operations for 5 years, and it works very well. However, you need to remember that there are 1000 ways to lose money in vehicle hire, and it's a lot more complicated than storage.

I'd be interesting to get your hands on the training material they will provide for you. I can only assume they have designed very automated systems to run the business. Hoe is that going to affect your signage on the business? Is the self storage now be called UHaul? How's the liability shared?
