From how much storage containers at different companies cost to how much you can store in a storage container, here are answers to the most common storage questions that people have.

What is the process like for portable storage containers?

The process for renting portable storage containers is easier than you might think. Simply give the storage container company a call, choose the location for your storage container delivery, load it at your convenience, call the container company again for delivery to a new location and unpack on your timeline. It’s that simple!

Will the container fit all my belongings?

Container size varies depending on the company, but you should be able to expect to fit the belongings of a 1-2 bedroom apartment inside the container. Some companies, like SAM (Store & Move) have a storage calculator feature where you can estimate exactly how much will fit.
