Steps
For U-Haul, apply through the U-Haul Dealer program (no stated start-up cost) and separately consider joining the U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network, which recommends U-Haul's WebSelfStorage management application for participating facilities
For Penske, set up as a rental-truck location add-on; note Penske also runs the reverse cross-sell, a SpareFoot-powered storage search/reservation flow for its truck-rental customers, with discount tie-ins at partner storage brands
Confirm commission structure before committing; U-Haul cites an industry-comparable dealer commission, reported around 21% average across product lines as of this research
Allocate physical lot space and staff training needs, since both programs are physical/operational add-ons, not just software integrations
Decide whether to run one truck brand exclusively or offer both, weighing any exclusivity terms each dealer program may impose
Known gotchas
These are dealer/franchise-style commercial relationships, not API integrations; there is no technical integration route to document beyond the recommended PMS tie-ins (e.g. WebSelfStorage)
Cross-sell arrangements, such as Penske-to-CubeSmart discounts, are brand-specific deals, not a general mechanism available to any facility
