How Much Does a 16-Foot Container Cost?

Time: Typically, the cost per day ends up being cheaper when you rent your 16-foot container for longer so that we can offer you the most competitive deals. When comparing costs, don’t forget to factor in the amount of time it will cost you to drive back and forth from a traditional on-site storage area or the wear and tear on your vehicle and the fuel cost associated with it!
Number of containers: In some cases, your project will only require one 16-foot storage container, which is the largest of our storage solutions. Many customers, for example, find this size container is perfect for projects like home renovations and will provide enough storage for their needs. However, if you need more containers, 1-800-PACK-RAT is happy to assist.

Uses For a 16-Foot Moving and Storage Container
You can use your 16-foot storage container for just about anything. Here are few ways you can use your portable storage container for your storage needs:
Renovations: Instead of transporting your belongings back and forth during renovations, which costs both time and money, you can store your stuff on-site so that it’s available to access 24/7 when you need it.
Moving: Utilizing a traditional moving truck might seem easy and cost-effective, but you will be up against the clock the moment you rent, forcing you to load and unload all in one day to avoid incurring more costs. Instead, you can have one of our 16-foot storage containers delivered to your home and transported to your new location without worrying about the logistics. Another advantage to portable storage is you can take as long as you need to pack and keep your container as long as you need it.
Additional Storage: Sometimes, you just have too much stuff. Whether you are a business owner who needs to store additional furniture and inventory on-site or a home owner looking to downsize and store items while doing so, portable storage is the perfect solution.
Mobile Workstations: Contractors know how difficult it can be to work outside. Sometimes you just need to get out of the sun, rain, and/or snow. Our containers make a great portable mobile workshop. When your job is done, you can leave your machinery and tools inside the mobile workshop and have it transported to your next job site.

Ground-Level Loading Makes Packing Easier
Each of our containers are designed to make your life easier. Lifting boxes and furniture is hard work, which makes moving difficult.

Our containers provide ground-level loading so that you don’t have to carry your items up and down a ramp. This also makes the process of loading faster and safer to help you avoid trips and falls when you have an important project to finish.
