U-Haul locations are open on Sundays, but hours vary by store

Most U-Haul stores and truck rental locations do operate on Sundays, but the hours are not the same everywhere. Some locations open at 9 a.m. and close at 6 p.m., while others stay open until 7 p.m. or later. A few locations in less populated areas may have shorter Sunday hours or may be closed entirely, though this is less common.

The only way to know your specific store's Sunday hours is to look them up directly. U-Haul does not publish a single Sunday schedule that applies to all locations — each store sets its own hours based on local demand and staffing.

Key Takeaways

  • Most U-Haul locations are open on Sundays, typically between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., but hours vary by location.
  • You can find your store's exact Sunday hours by entering your zip code on uhaul.com or by calling the location directly.
  • Sunday hours are often shorter than weekday hours, so plan to arrive earlier in the day if you need to rent or return equipment.
  • Some U-Haul dealers (independent franchises) may have different hours than corporate locations, so confirm before you go.

How to find your local U-Haul's Sunday hours

Visit uhaul.com and use the store locator tool. Enter your zip code or city name, and the website will show you a list of nearby locations with their full hours of operation for every day of the week, including Sunday. Each listing also shows what services that location offers — truck rentals, equipment rentals, moving supplies, or a combination.

If you do not have internet access or prefer to speak with someone, call the U-Haul location directly. The phone number appears in the store locator results. A staff member can tell you the Sunday hours and answer questions about whether they have the truck size or equipment you need available that day.

Why U-Haul Sunday hours are shorter than weekday hours

U-Haul locations typically operate with smaller staffing on Sundays compared to Monday through Friday. This means fewer people are available to process rentals, handle returns, and manage the lot. To account for this, most stores close earlier on Sunday or open later in the morning.

If you are planning a Sunday rental or return, arriving in the morning or early afternoon gives you the best chance of avoiding a long wait. Late Sunday afternoon can be busy as people rush to complete their moves before the week begins.

Renting or returning a truck on Sunday

You can rent a U-Haul truck on Sunday during the store's open hours. However, if you need to return a truck after hours, U-Haul offers an after-hours return option at many locations. This involves dropping the truck in a designated lot and leaving the keys in a find box. You will need to have set this up when you rented the truck, and not all locations offer this service.

If you are returning a truck on Sunday and the location closes before you can get there, call ahead to confirm whether after-hours return is available at that specific store. Some locations require you to return equipment during business hours, which means you may need to return on Monday morning instead.

U-Haul dealers versus corporate locations

U-Haul operates both corporate-owned stores and independent dealer locations. Dealers are authorized U-Haul franchises — they rent U-Haul equipment and sell U-Haul supplies, but they are not owned by U-Haul directly. Common dealers include Home Depot, Lowe's, and local hardware or moving supply stores.

Dealer locations often have different Sunday hours than U-Haul's corporate stores. For example, a Home Depot that rents U-Haul trucks will follow Home Depot's Sunday hours, not a separate U-Haul schedule. When you search for a location on uhaul.com, the results will show you whether it is a corporate store or a dealer, and the hours listed will be accurate for that specific location.

What to bring when you rent on Sunday

Whether you rent on Sunday or any other day, bring a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. U-Haul will run a background check and verify your driving record. You will also need to provide your current address and phone number.

If you are renting a truck, have your destination address ready. U-Haul uses this to calculate the rental cost. If you are returning a truck to a different location than where you rented it, let the staff know at the time of rental so they can adjust the price accordingly.
