Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]  
1. Basis of Presentation U-Haul Holding Company, a Nevada corporation (“U-Haul Holding Company”), has a first fiscal quarter that ends on the 30 th of June for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have a first quarter that ends on the 31 st of March for each year that is referenced. They have been consolidated on that basis. Our insurance companies’ financial reporting processes conform to calendar year reporting as required by state insurance departments. Management believes that consolidating their calendar year into our fiscal year financial statements does not materially affect the presentation of consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. We disclose material events, if any, occurring during the intervening period. Consequently, all references to our insurance subsidiaries’ years 2023 and 2022 correspond to fiscal 2024 and 2023 for U-Haul Holding Company. Accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies have been translated into U.S. dollars. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Description of Legal Entities U-Haul Holding Company is the holding company for: U-Haul International, Inc.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
2. Earnings Per Share We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC“) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share . The two-class method allocates the undistributed earnings available to common stockholders to the Company’s outstanding common stock, $ 0.25 par value (the “Voting Common Stock”) and the Series N Non-Voting Common Stock, $ 0.001 par value (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”) based on each share’s percentage of total weighted average shares outstanding. The Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock are allocated 10 % and 90 %, respectively, of our undistributed earnings available to common stockholders. This represents earnings available to common stockholders less the dividends declared for both the Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock. Our undistributed earnings per share is calculated by taking the undistributed earnings available to common stockholders and dividing this number by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective stock. If there was a dividend declared for that period, the dividend per share is added to the undistributed earnings per share to calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share. The process is used for both Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 for our Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock were as follows:     For the Quarters Ended     June 30,     2023 2022     (Unaudited)     (In thousands, except share and per share amounts)           Weighted average shares outstanding of Voting Common Stock   19,607,788   19,607,788 Total weighted average shares outstanding for Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock   196,077,880   196,077,880 Percent of weighted average shares outstanding of Voting Common Stock   10%   10%           Net earnings available to common stockholders $ 256,838 $ 338,345 Voting Common Stock dividends declared   –   (9,804) Non-Voting Common Stock dividends declared   (7,059)   – Undistributed earnings available to common stockholders $ 249,779 $ 328,541 Undistributed earnings available to common stockholders allocated to Voting Common Stock $ 24,978 $ 32,854           Undistributed earnings per share of Voting Common Stock $ 1.27 $ 1.68 Dividends declared per share of Voting Common Stock $ – $ 0.50 Basic and diluted earnings per share of Voting Common Stock $ 1.27 $ 2.18                     Weighted average shares outstanding of Non-Voting Common Stock   176,470,092   176,470,092 Total weighted average shares outstanding for Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock   196,077,880   196,077,880 Percent of weighted average shares outstanding of Non-Voting Common Stock   90%   90%           Net earnings available to common stockholders $ 256,838 $ 338,345 Voting Common Stock dividends declared   –   (9,804) Non-Voting Common Stock dividends declared   (7,059)   – Undistributed earnings available to common stockholders $ 249,779 $ 328,541 Undistributed earnings available to common stockholders allocated to Non-Voting Common Stock $ 224,801 $ 295,687           Undistributed earnings per share of Non-Voting Common Stock $ 1.27 $ 1.68 Dividends declared per share of Non-Voting Common Stock $ 0.04 $ – Basic and diluted earnings per share of Non-Voting Common Stock $ 1.31 $ 1.68

The gross realized gains on these sales totaled $0.9 million and $0.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively.   The gross realized losses on these sales totaled $0.5 million and $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024 we received $ 225.0 million from the Moving and Storage Treasuries that matured. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether the security is below investment grade.   For securities that are below investment grade, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors such as the interest rate environment. Declines in value due to credit are recognized as an allowance. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse market conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors.   If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, cumulative default rates based on ratings are used to determine the potential cost of default, by year.   The present value of these potential costs is then compared to the amortized cost of the security to determine the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Declines in fair value that have not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses, such as declines due to changes in market interest rates, are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. If we intend to sell a security, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security is written down to its fair value and the write down is charged against the allowance for   credit losses, with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. Reversals of the allowance for credit losses are permitted and should not exceed the allowance amount initially recognized. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. There was a ($ 0.5 ) million and a $17 thousand net impairment charge recorded in the first quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 2023, respectively. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

We are in compliance with the covenants as of June 30, 2023. Finance Liabilities Finance liabilities represent our rental equipment financing transactions, and we assess if these sale-leaseback transactions qualify as a sale at initiation by determining if a transfer of ownership occurs.   We have determined that our equipment sale-leasebacks do not qualify as a sale, as the buyer-lessors do not obtain control of the assets in our ongoing sale-leaseback arrangements. As a result, these sale-leasebacks are accounted for as a financial liability and the leased assets are capitalized at cost.     Our finance liabilities have an average term of seven (7) years . These finance liabilities are collateralized by the related assets of our rental fleet.   The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $ 1,628.6 million and $ 1,499.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
5. Derivatives We manage exposure to changes in market interest rates. Our use of derivative instruments is limited to highly effective interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in SOFR swap rates with the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged on certain of our SOFR indexed variable rate debt. The interest rate swaps effectively fix our interest payments on certain SOFR indexed variable rate debt through July 2032. We monitor our positions and the credit ratings of our counterparties and do not currently anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements are not entered into for trading purposes. These fair values are determined using pricing valuation models which include broker quotes for which significant inputs are observable. They include adjustments for counterparty credit quality and other deal-specific factors, where appropriate and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The derivative fair values reflected in prepaid expense and accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet were as follows:     June 30, 2023   March 31, 2023     (Unaudited)         (In thousands) Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges:         Assets $ 9,254 $ 5,311 Liabilities   –   – Notional amount   204,227   206,347       The Effect of Interest Rate Contracts on the Statements of Operations for the Quarters Ended         June 30, 2023   June 30, 2022     (Unaudited)     (In thousands) Gain recognized in AOCI on interest rate contracts $ (3,943) $ (736) (Gain) loss reclassified from AOCI into income $ ( 1,150 ) $ 566 (Gains) or losses recognized in income on interest rate derivatives are recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, we recognized an increase in the fair value of our cash flow hedges of $ 3.8 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively, net of taxes. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, we reclassified ($ 0.9 ) million and $ 0.4 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) to interest expense, net of tax. As of June 30, 2023, we expect to reclassify $ 4.8 million of net losses on interest rate contracts from AOCI to earnings as interest expense over the next twelve months. We use derivatives to economically hedge our equity market exposure to indexed annuity products sold by our Life Insurance company. These contracts earn a return for the contractholder based on the change in the value of the S&P 500 index between annual index point dates. We buy and sell listed equity and index call options and call option spreads. The credit risk is with the party in which the options are written. The net option price is paid up front and there are no additional cash requirements or additional contingent liabilities. These contracts are held at fair value on our balance sheet. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, these derivative hedges had a fair value of $ 7.5 million and $ 4.3 million, with notional amounts of $ 362.4 million and $ 465.7   million, respectively. These derivative instruments are included in Investments, other; on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of these call options are determined based on quoted market prices from the relevant exchange and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Net (gains) losses recognized in net investment and interest income for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were ($ 1.5 ) million and $ 0.6 million, respectively.     Derivatives Fair Values as of         June 30, 2023   March 31, 2023     (Unaudited)         (In thousands) Equity market contracts as economic hedging instruments         Assets $ 7,539 $ 4,295 Liabilities $ – $ – Notional amount $ 362,436 $ 465,701   Although the call options are employed to be effective hedges against our policyholder obligations from an economic standpoint, they do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, the changes in fair value of the call options are recognized each reporting date as a component of net investment and interest income. The change in fair value of the call options include the gains or losses recognized at the expiration of the option term and the changes in fair value for open contracts.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
9. Contingencies Cybersecurity Incident On September 9, 2022, we announced that the Company was made aware of a data security incident involving U-Haul‘s information technology network. U-Haul detected a compromise of two unique passwords used to access U-Haul customers information. U-Haul took immediate steps to contain the incident and promptly enhanced its security measures to prevent any further unauthorized access. U-Haul retained cybersecurity experts and incident response counsel to investigate the incident and implement additional security safeguards. The investigation determined that between November 5, 2021 and April 8, 2022, the threat actor accessed customer contracts containing customers’ names, dates of birth, and driver’s license or state identification numbers. None of U-Haul’s financial, payment processing or email systems were involved. U-Haul has notified impacted customers and relevant governmental authorities. Several class action lawsuits related to the incident have been filed against U-Haul. The lawsuits have been consolidated into one action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona and will be vigorously defended by the Company; however the outcome of such lawsuits cannot be predicted or guaranteed with any certainty. Environmental Compliance with environmental requirements of federal, state, provincial and local governments may affect Real Estate’s business operations. Among other things, these requirements regulate the discharge of materials into the air, land and water and govern the use and disposal of hazardous substances. Real Estate is aware of issues regarding hazardous substances on some of its properties. Real Estate regularly makes capital and operating expenditures to stay in compliance with environmental laws and has put in place a remedial plan at each site where it believes such a plan is necessary. Based upon the information currently available to Real Estate, compliance with the environmental laws and its share of the costs of investigation and cleanup of known hazardous waste sites are not expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Other We are named as a defendant in various other litigation and claims arising out of the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, none of these other matters will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
14. Fair Value Measurements Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and are measured and classified based upon a three-tiered approach to valuation. Financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value and are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;   Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in markets that are not considered to be active, or similar financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means; and Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable. These reflect management’s assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair values of cash equivalents approximate carrying value due to the short period of time to maturity. Fair values of short-term investments are based on quoted market prices. Fair values of investments available-for-sale are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes or discounted cash flows. Fair values on interest rate swap contracts are based on using pricing valuation models which include broker quotes. Fair values of long-term investment and mortgage loans and notes on real estate are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes or discounted cash flows.   Fair values of trade receivables approximate their recorded value. Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments, trade receivables, reinsurance recoverables and notes receivable. Limited credit risk exists on trade receivables due to the diversity of our customer base and their dispersion across broad geographic markets. We place our temporary cash investments with financial institutions and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. We have mortgage receivables, which potentially expose us to credit risk. The portfolio of notes is principally collateralized by self-storage facilities and commercial properties. We have not experienced any material losses related to the notes from individual or groups of notes in any particular industry or geographic area. The estimated fair values were determined using the discounted cash flow method and using interest rates currently offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Other investments, including short-term investments, are substantially current or bear reasonable interest rates. As a result, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximate fair value. The carrying values and estimated fair values for the financial instruments stated above and their placement in the fair value hierarchy are as follows:       Fair Value Hierarchy     Carrying               Total Estimated As of June 30, 2023   Value   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Fair Value     (Unaudited) Assets   (In thousands) Reinsurance recoverables and trade receivables, net $ 206,663 $ – $ – $ 206,663 $ 206,663 Mortgage loans, net   510,307   –   –   494,664   494,664 Other investments   109,833   –   –   109,833   109,833 Total $ 826,803 $ – $ – $ 811,160 $ 811,160                                             Liabilities                     Notes, loans and finance leases payable   6,323,782   –   5,743,138   –   5,743,138 Total $ 6,323,782 $ – $ 5,743,138 $ – $ 5,743,138       Fair Value Hierarchy     Carrying               Total Estimated As of March 31, 2023   Value   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Fair Value     (In thousands) Assets                     Reinsurance recoverables and trade receivables, net $ 189,498 $ – $ – $ 189,498 $ 189,498 Mortgage loans, net   466,531   –   –   444,957   444,957 Other investments   109,009   –   –   109,009   109,009 Total $ 765,038 $ – $ – $ 743,464 $ 743,464                                             Liabilities                     Notes, loans and finance leases payable   6,143,350   –   5,710,735   –   5,710,735 Total $ 6,143,350 $ – $ 5,710,735 $ – $ 5,710,735   The following tables represent the financial assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy.   As of June 30, 2023   Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3     (Unaudited) Assets   (In thousands) Short-term investments $ 2,055,145 $ 2,053,510 $ 1,635 $ – Fixed maturities - available for sale   2,407,226   24,549   2,382,618   59 Preferred stock   20,556   20,556   –   – Common stock   41,730   41,730   –   – Derivatives   16,793   7,539   9,254   – Total $ 4,541,450 $ 2,147,884 $ 2,393,507 $ 59   As of March 31, 2023   Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3     (In thousands) Assets                 Short-term investments $ 1,809,441 $ 1,808,797 $ 644 $ – Fixed maturities - available for sale   2,709,037   251,832   2,457,146   59 Preferred stock   21,982   21,982   –   – Common stock   39,375   39,375   –   – Derivatives   9,606   4,295   5,311   – Total $ 4,589,441 $ 2,126,281 $ 2,463,101 $ 59   The fair value measurements for our assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were $0.1 million for both June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

Revenue Recognition

Jun. 30, 2023
Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognized in Accordance with Topic 606 ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , outlines a five-step model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The standard applies to all contracts with customers except for leases, insurance contracts, financial instruments, certain nonmonetary exchanges and certain guarantees. The standard also requires disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. We enter into contracts that may include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of amounts collected from customers for taxes, such as sales tax, and remitted to the applicable taxing authorities. We account for a contract under Topic 606 when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. For contracts scoped into this standard, revenue is recognized when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied by means of transferring goods or services to the customer as applicable to each revenue stream as discussed below. There were no material contract assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. Sales of self-moving and self-storage related products are recognized at the time that title passes and the customer accepts delivery. The performance obligations identified for this portfolio of contracts include moving and storage product sales, installation services and/or propane sales. Each of these performance obligations has an observable stand-alone selling price. We concluded that the performance obligations identified are satisfied at a point in time. The basis for this conclusion is that the customer does not receive the product/propane or benefit from the installation services until the related performance obligation is satisfied. These products/services being provided have an alternative use as they are not customized and can be sold/provided to any customer. In addition, we only have the right to receive payment once the products have been transferred to the customer or the installation services have been completed. Although product sales have a right of return policy, our estimated obligation for future product returns is not material to the financial statements at this time. Property management fees are recognized over the period that agreed-upon services are provided. The performance obligation for this portfolio of contracts is property management services, which represents a series of distinct days of service, each of which is comprised of activities that may vary from day to day. However, those tasks are activities to fulfill the property management services and are not separate promises in the contract. We determined that each increment of the promised service is distinct. This is because the customer can benefit from each increment of service on its own and each increment of service is separately identifiable because no day of service significantly modifies or customizes another and no day of service significantly affects either the entity’s ability to fulfill another day of service or the benefit to the customer of another day of service. As such, we concluded that the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Additionally, in certain contracts the Company has the ability to earn an incentive fee based on operational results. We measure and recognize the progress toward completion of the performance obligation on a quarterly basis using the most likely amount method to determine an accrual for the incentive fee portion of the compensation received in exchange for the property management service. The variable consideration recognized is subject to constraints due to a range of possible consideration amounts based on actual operational results. The amount accrued in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 did not have a material effect on our financial statements. Other revenue consists of numerous services or rentals, of which U-Box contracts and service fees from Moving HelpⓇ are the main components. The performance obligations identified for U-Box contracts are fees for rental, storage and shipping of U-Box containers to a specified location, each of which are distinct. A contract may be partially within the scope of Topic 606 and partially within the scope of other topics. The rental and storage obligations in U-Box contracts meet the definition of a lease in Topic 842, while the shipping obligation represents a contract with a customer accounted for under Topic 606. Therefore, we allocate the total transaction price between the performance obligations of storage fees and rental fees and the shipping fees on a standalone selling price basis. U-Box shipping fees are collected once the shipment is in transit. Shipping fees in U-Box contracts are set at the initiation of the contract based on the shipping origin and destination, and the performance obligation is satisfied over   time. U-Box shipping contracts span over a relatively short period of time, and the majority of these contracts begin and end within the same fiscal year. Moving Help Ⓡ services fees are recognized in accordance with Topic 606. Moving Help Ⓡ services are generated as we provide a neutral venue for the connection between the service provider and the customer for agreed upon services. We do not control the specified services provided by the service provider before that service is transferred to the customer. Revenue Recognized in Accordance with Topic 842 ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), The Company’s self-moving equipment rental revenues meet the definition of a lease pursuant to the guidance in Topic 842 because those substitution rights do not provide an economic benefit to the Company that would exceed the cost of exercising the right. Please see Note 8, Leases, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Self-moving equipment rentals are recognized over the contract period that trucks and moving equipment are rented. We offer two types of self-moving rental contracts, one-way rentals and in-town rentals, which have varying payment terms. Customer payment is received at the initiation of the contract for one-way rentals which covers an allowable limit for equipment usage. An estimated fee in the form of a deposit is received at the initiation of the contract for in-town rentals, and final payment is received upon the return of the equipment based on actual fees incurred. The contract price is estimated at the initiation of the contract, as there is variable consideration associated with ratable fees incurred based on the number of days the equipment is rented and the number of miles driven. Variable consideration is estimated using the most likely amount method which is based on the intended use of the rental equipment by the customer at the initiation of the contract. Historically, the variability in estimated transaction pricing compared to actual is not significant due to the relatively short duration of rental contracts. Each performance obligation has an observable stand-alone selling price. The input method of passage of time is appropriate as there is a direct relationship between our inputs and the transfer of benefit to the customer over the life of the contract. Self-moving rental contracts span a relatively short period of time, and the majority of these contracts began and ended within the same fiscal year. Self-storage revenues are recognized as earned over the contract period based upon the number of paid storage contract days. We lease portions of our operating properties to tenants under agreements that are classified as operating leases. We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of our rental expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, are recovered from our customers. The following table summarizes the minimum lease payments due from our customers and operating property tenants on leases for the next five years and thereafter:       Years Ending June 30,     2024   2025   2026   2027   2028   Thereafter     (Unaudited)     (In thousands)                           Self-moving equipment rentals $ 6,947 $ – $ – $ – $ – $ – Property lease revenues   21,052   14,626   11,834   8,920   6,235   39,797 Total $ 27,999 $ 14,626 $ 11,834 $ 8,920 $ 6,235 $ 39,797   The amounts above do not reflect future rental revenue from the renewal or replacement of existing leases. Revenue Recognized in Accordance with Other Topics Traditional life and Medicare supplement insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the premium-paying periods of the contracts when due from the policyholders. For products where premiums are due over a significantly shorter duration than the period over which benefits are provided, such as our   single premium whole life product, premiums are recognized when received and excess profits are deferred and recognized in relation to the insurance in force. Property and casualty insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the policy periods. Interest and investment income are recognized as earned. Net investment and interest income has multiple components. Interest income from bonds and mortgage notes are recognized when earned. Dividends on common and preferred stocks are recognized on the ex-dividend dates. Realized gains and losses on the sale or exchange of investments are recognized at the trade date. In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by timing of revenue recognition:       Quarter Ended June 30,     2023   2022     (Unaudited)     (In thousands)           Revenues recognized over time: $   91,315 $   103,194 Revenues recognized at a point in time:   117,593   126,355 Total revenues recognized under ASC 606   208,908   229,549           Revenues recognized under ASC 842   1,222,316   1,288,031 Revenues recognized under ASC 944   44,492   46,687 Revenues recognized under ASC 320   64,592   33,573 Total revenues $   1,540,308 $   1,597,840   In the above table, the revenues recognized over time include property management fees, the shipping fees associated with U-Box container rentals and a portion of other revenues. Revenues recognized at a point in time include self-moving equipment rentals, self-moving and self-storage products and service sales and a portion of other revenues . We recognized liabilities resulting from contracts with customers for self-moving equipment rentals, self-storage revenues, U-Box revenues and tenant revenues, in which the length of the contract goes beyond the reported period end, although rental periods of the equipment, storage and U-Box contract are generally short-term in nature. The timing of revenue recognition results in liabilities that are reflected in deferred income on the balance sheet.

Allowance For Credit Loss [Abstract]  
Allowance For Credit Losses [Text Block] Trade Receivables Moving and Storage has two ( 2 ) primary components of trade receivables, receivables from corporate customers and credit card receivables from customer sales and rental of equipment.   For credit card receivables, the Company uses a trailing 13 months average historical chargeback percentage of total credit card receivables to estimate a credit loss reserve. The Company rents equipment to corporate customers in which payment terms are 30 days. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and assesses each customer’s credit worthiness. In addition, the Company monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains an allowance based upon applying an expected credit loss rate to receivables based on the historical loss rate from similar high-risk customers adjusted for current conditions, including any specific customer collection issues identified, and forecasts of economic conditions. Delinquent account balances are written off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. Management believes that the historical loss information it has compiled is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables because the composition of trade receivables as of that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit loss percentages (i.e., the similar risk characteristics of its customers and its lending practices have not changed significantly over time).   To adjust the historical loss rates to reflect the effects of these differences in current conditions and forecasted changes, management assigns a rating to each customer which varies depending on the assessment of risk. Management estimated the loss rate at approximately 4 % as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. Management developed this estimate based on its knowledge of past experience for which there were similar improvements in the economy. As a result, management applied the applicable credit loss rates to determine the expected credit loss estimate for each aging category. Accordingly, the allowance for expected credit losses as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 was $ 4.9 million and $ 3.8 million, respectively. Accrued Interest Receivable Accrued interest receivables on available for sale securities totaled $ 29.6 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and are excluded from the estimate of credit losses. We have elected not to measure an allowance on accrued interest receivables as our practice is to write off the uncollectible balance in a timely manner. Furthermore, we have elected to write off accrued interest receivables by reversing interest income. Mortgage loans, net Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are reported at amortized cost.   Modeling for the Company’s mortgage loans is based on inputs most highly correlated to defaults, including loan-to-value, occupancy, and payment history.   Historical credit loss experience provides additional support for the estimation of expected credit losses. In assessing the credit losses, the portfolio is reviewed on a collective basis, using loan-specific cash flows to determine the fair value of the collateral in the event of default.   Adjustments to this analysis are made to assess loans with a loan-to-value of 65% or greater. These loans are evaluated on an individual basis and loan specific risk characteristics such as occupancy levels, expense, income growth and other relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. When management determines that credit losses are expected to occur, an allowance for expected credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral is recorded. Reinsurance recoverables Reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid benefits was less than 1 % of the total assets as of March 31, 2023 which is immaterial based on historical loss experience and high credit rating of the reinsurers. Premium receivables Premium receivables were $4.1 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively in which the credit loss allowance is immaterial based on our ability to cancel the policy if the policyholder does not pay premiums. The following details the changes in the Company’s reserve allowance for credit losses for trade receivables, fixed maturities and investments, other:     Allowance for Credit Losses     Trade Receivables   Investments, Fixed Maturities   Investments, other   Total     (Unaudited)     (in thousands) Balance as of March 31, 2022 $ 8,649 $ 60 $ 501 $ 9,210 Provision for (reversal of) credit losses   (4,860)   2,041   16   (2,803) Write-offs against allowance   –   –   –   – Recoveries   –   –   –   – Balance as of March 31, 2023 $ 3,789 $ 2,101 $ 517 $ 6,407 Provision for (reversal of) credit losses   591   (455)   301   437 Write-offs against allowance   –   –   –   – Recoveries   –   –   –   – Balance as of June 30, 2023 $ 4,380 $ 1,646 $ 818 $ 6,844

New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract]  
New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Text Block] Adoption of new Accounting Pronouncements On April 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU“) 2018-12,   Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts which is applicable to Oxford. The Company used the modified retrospective method applies as the transition date of April 1, 2021. The updated accounting guidance required changes to the measurement and disclosure of long-duration contracts. For the Company, this includes all life insurance products, annuities, Medicare Supplement products and our long-term care business. Entities will be required to review, and update if there is a change to cash flow assumptions (including morbidity and persistency) at least annually, and to update discount rate assumptions quarterly using an upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield. The effect of changes in cash flow assumptions will be recorded in the Company's results of operations and the effect of changes in discount rate assumptions will be recorded in other comprehensive income. The most significant impact will be the effect of updating the discount rate assumption quarterly to reflect an upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield, rather than Oxford Life’s expected investment portfolio yield. This will be partially offset by the de-recognition of cumulative adjustments to DAC associated with unrealized gains and losses associated with long-duration contracts. The Company uses a published spot rate curve constructed from “A”-rated U.S. dollar denominated corporate bonds matched to the duration of the corresponding insurance liabilities, to calculate discount rates. The Company will groups its long-duration contracts into calendar year cohorts based on the contract issue date. DAC and other capitalized costs such as unearned revenue are amortized on a constant level or straight-line basis over the expected term of the contracts. Under ASU 2018-12, the annual amortization of DAC in our Consolidated Statements of Operations will differ from previous trends due to: 1) the requirement to no longer defer renewal commissions until such year as the commissions are
