1-800-PACK-RAT vs. Traditional Self-Storage Facilities

Storing your belongings shouldn't be difficult, and the last thing you need when trying to get a home renovation done or when staging your house to be put on the market for sale is the hassle that comes with self-storage. Instead of looking for local storage or storage facilities near you, packing all of your stuff, driving to the unit, and then unpacking everything, only to repeat the process again when you need your stuff back is obsolete and a time waste. With 1-800-PACK-RAT, the storage facility is brought to you in the form of an all-steel, weatherproof portable storage container that you can keep on-site. We make storage simple and take the stress completely out of the equation.

Tammy R. from Troy, MI
I prefer the container structure of 1-800-PACK-RAT to any other because the double doors open wide open allowing for more space to pack items than its competitors who use roll up door systems.
Jennifer A. from Indianapolis, IN
Everyone was great through the whole experience. Danielle from Indianapolis was super helpful with delivering to my home. Thank you everyone for such a wonderful experience!
Sherry I. from Sun City, AZ
First time using a pod. Was skeptical but was pleasantly surprised on how smoothly everything went. Would use this company in the future. Thank you.
Jeanie K. & Jeff G. from Jacksonville, NC
This is the second 1-800-PACK-RAT move in just over one calendar year and I would not choose anyone else.
Dorothy & Tom M. from Wilsonville, OR
Chris, the driver in Oregon was amazing!! He dropped off and picked up our full containers and he was very friendly and helped put our mind at ease!
Niki C. from Noblesville, IN
The pricing was straightforward, every time I called and spoke to someone they were great to speak to and very informative. I will recommend and if need to, will use again!

1-800-PACK-RAT Is the Superior Storage Choice With Greater Convenience and Flexibility Than Traditional Storage Units

Transparent Storage Pricing

Self-storage facilities can lure you in with low introductory pricing and add on hidden fees or increase your monthly rent, and long-term contracts that you sign with these companies may be difficult to break without major penalties. Our clear, transparent pricing ensures you know what you’re paying with no surprises while giving you the flexibility and convenience that traditional storage areas cannot match.

Convenient Packing & Storage Options

By using a 1-800-PACK-RAT portable storage container to store your belongings, all you have to do is give us a call, and we'll deliver a unit straight to your door. Once you have received your container, you can pack your items at your own pace. Then when the container is full, you can call us to pick up your full container and keep it at one of our nationwide storage facilities, or you can keep the container on site to easily access in the future. There is no need to drive back and forth to a storage facility each time you need to add something additional to storage or access your stored items. To make things even easier, we have partners that can help you with packing, loading, and unloading your container.

And the best part is - you leave all of the driving and logistics to us, as everything is done on your schedule.

Added Warehouse Facility Safety and Security

Our warehouses have 24/7 video surveillance, automated sprinklers, and secure warehouse doors. There are no shared hallways, unloading ramps, or elevators and we also ensure that our warehouses are well-lit, safe, and accessible. To add, with a typical storage unit, you may need to rent a truck to transport large items that don’t fit in your vehicle, adding extra costs each time you need to move your stuff - 1-800-PACK-RAT handles all of the transportation. Finally, nobody else has a key to your container except for you - your stuff will stay safe and secure and the way you packed it while in our care.

Frequently Asked Questions Comparing 1-800-PACK-RAT to Self-Storage Facilities

What is the difference between 1-800-PACK-RAT and a traditional self-storage facility?

The answer is simple: 1-800-PACK-RAT provides its customer with convenient portable storage containers that can be dropped off at your location that you can then pack and load at your pace. Traditional storage areas require you to pack and load your stuff multiple times (or even force you to rent a moving truck) and then repeat the process at the storage area only to do it all over again when you need to remove your stuff from storage.


1-800-PACK-RAT simplifies the process by bringing the storage facility to your location. No unnecessary driving or multiple loading and unloading trips - simply pack and load once and leave your container on-site or have it stored in one of our nationwide storage warehouses for safekeeping for as long as you need. It is that simple.

Do I need to move or drive your storage container myself?

Nope! 1-800-PACK-RAT handles all of the transportation and logistics so you don't have to stress over the details. Simply tell us when and where you want your portable storage container, we'll deliver it, you pack it at your pace, and then either leave it at your location or store it in our local and secure warehouse facility. It is that easy - no back and forth driving or loading and unloading multiple times. Just store your stuff on your time without the added steps.

How much are your storage units compared to traditional self-storage companies?

At 1-800-PACK-RAT, we offer a variety of storage solutions and container sizes to help fit the needs of any customer. The best way to get the most accurate cost point for your needs is to get a free quote online or to give us a call and speak with one of our storage experts. Things to take into account are the size of the container you will need, the distance from our facility that you are, the amount of time you will require to pack your container, and if you plan on keeping your container on-site at your location or if you want to have it stored in our local and secure warehouse facility. We recommend using our Space Calculator tool to help determine what kind of container you will need as well as if you need multiple containers.


We offer you clear and transparent pricing to ensure you don't get surprised with the same kinds of hidden fees typically associated with the initial low cost pricing self-storage facilities offer. No traditional self-storage area can match the flexibility, convenience, and time-saving nature that mobile storage units provide. Contact us today and see how our mobile, all-steel and weatherproof containers can help with your storage needs!
