Container Leasing and Rental Services

Organize your business equipment with the help of a container leasing company

It's time to contact a container leasing company when: Your excess inventory, equipment, files, supplies or tools drive you crazy every time you see them without a proper home...You've run out of storage space at your office--you can't see the ceilings or walls in all your existing closets and other storage spaces but you can't move, and you can't afford new construction.

Container leasing companies provide services that really simplify the process for you. Online, you simply identify your type of business, purpose for storage and size of container(s) needed. The container leasing company then gives you a prompt and usually free quote. You will pay for delivery and removal of your containers, but attempt negotiation of those fees before you commit to a price.

Identify the following criteria before you schedule a container rental:

1. Why are you renting a container?

2. How long will you need the container leasing period for?

3. What's the best deal from a container leasing company?

Consider all the ways you can use storage container rentals

Why you need a container rental determines what type of container you need, and you'll find several different options available. The container renting company you select may provide you with options for paint, shelving, doors, ventilation systems, cold storage and ramps.

Decide how long you'll need the container rental

Container renting companies rent out containers for a day, a week or on a long-term basis. If you commit to one year or longer, see if you can negotiate away any delivery or removal fees. If you're considering shipping containers for lease or rent, know many companies provide one-way shipping options. Additionally, if you're planning on a long-term rental, know that some container leasing services offer lease-to-own plans.
