U-Haul News – May 1, 2020
National Small Business Week is traditionally the first week of May in the U.S. While COVID-19 has prompted the postponement of the official Small Business Association (SBA) celebration, it’s important that we recognize and express our gratitude to small businesses everywhere … more so now than ever.
For 75 years, U-Haul has partnered with local small businesses, the lifeblood of our do-it-yourself moving operation. Small businesses across the U.S. and Canada comprise the U-Haul Dealer Network, representing more than 90% of the truck- and trailer-sharing locations in our organization.
Small businesses continue to drive our country forward through their resourcefulness, creativity, adaptability and innovation. To our neighborhood dealers and all small businesses across North America, U-Haul honors you.

Like U-Haul itself, the U-Haul Dealer Benefits Program is a needs-based program offering a full lineup of insurance products and benefit services. This program has always used advanced online tools and digital technologies to remotely serve the needs of U-Haul Dealers and business employees and families without requiring in-person contact at the worksite, which is especially important during the coronavirus crisis.
freshbenies – Combat coronavirus from home with unlimited virtual doctor visits. This is our popular supplemental health benefit, including tele-doctor, that lets you combat coronavirus from home with unlimited virtual doctor visits. Normally only available to large corporate employers, freshbenies is only $18/month for the whole family (plus a one-time $15 application fee) and is a great companion to regular medical insurance to help you get care, stay healthy and save on out-of-pocket spending and available all year around.
As you contend with these uncertain healthcare and economic times – whether in self-quarantine, delivering essential services in our community or volunteering help to others in need – keep in mind that the U-Haul Dealer Benefits Program continues to provide safe, secure and accessible health and insurance solutions for you and your family.
Your questions help keep us tuned in to the topics that are most important to Dealers and your business employees, so keep checking insurance and benefits availability at the do-it-yourself website dealerbenefits.org and feel free to call the Benefits Department 888-551-9801. We hope you continue to find this program a valuable resource for your Dealership and small business.
