U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network

What U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network does

U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network (USSAN), operated by eMove, Inc. (a Nevada corporation), is a Phoenix-headquartered software subsidiary of U-Haul International that delivers the WebSelfStorage Business Platform — a fully web-based, browser-accessible SaaS product for self-storage facility owners. The platform provides facility management, online reservations, integrated payment processing, tenant communications (letter templates, text messaging, reminders), gate and security kiosk interfacing, retail sales, auction management, and remote rate management in a single interface usable on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. US Patent No. 8,571,901 protects proprietary elements of the platform.

The product is targeted primarily at independent self-storage facility operators across the United States and Canada, with a secondary segment of U-Haul Dealers who operate storage facilities in conjunction with their existing U-Haul businesses. A Real Time Data Web Services API is available to affiliates, enabling them to surface unit availability, pricing, and reservation data on their own websites. The software is delivered entirely as a web service — no download, installation, or local updates are required.

USSAN generates revenue through a $44.95/month standard subscription (discounted to $34.95/month for U-Haul Dealers), a $20 per-confirmed-reservation transaction fee regardless of source, a $6.95 customer handling fee for reservations redirected to the USSAN website, and commissions/royalties from the integrated Safestor tenant insurance product. The company operates a hybrid sales model combining direct sales outreach (phone 602-242-4181, [email protected]) with self-service online signup via webselfstorage.com. With 11–50 employees and no external funding rounds disclosed, USSAN functions as a mature, internally-funded operating subsidiary embedded within the broader U-Haul dealer and marketing infrastructure.
