How much does it cost to rent a container?

Rental pricing depends on your location, container size, and whether you need residential or contractor-grade equipment. Most 20-foot rentals are in the $120–$199/month range, plus delivery and pickup. The best way to get an exact price is to contact your local Get Simple Box team for a quick quote.

Is rent month-to-month or do I have to sign a long-term contract?

Our rentals are month-to-month with a one-month minimum. You can keep the container as long as you need, and when you’re done, just give us notice so we can schedule pickup.

When does my rental “month” start and end?

Billing starts the day we deliver the container, and your rental renews monthly on that same anniversary date (for example: the 14th to the 13th). This keeps billing simple and fair, and it ensures you always receive a full month of use.

Do you prorate rent if I only need it for a few days?

We don’t prorate rentals because the container is reserved, delivered, and scheduled around your use. The good news is rentals are month-to-month, so you’re never locked into a long contract.

How much notice do I need to give to end my rental?

Because our pickups are scheduled based on driver availability, we need at least 10 days’ notice to stop billing and schedule an empty pickup. The earlier you let us know, the easier it is for us to fit you into the schedule.

What do I pay upfront when I start a rental?

At the start of your rental, we usually collect the first month’s rent and delivery fees in advance before delivery. Your local team will confirm the exact amounts and explain how ongoing billing works.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept standard payment methods and require a credit/debit card on file as a backup method for rentals (similar to a hotel or car rental). Many customers choose autopay for convenience.

Do you charge a credit card surcharge?

Many companies add a 3% surcharge for credit card payments. We don’t. We try to keep pricing simple, fair, and transparent.

Do you send invoices or statements each month?

Most residential customers are on autopay, so we don’t automatically send monthly invoices. If you want an invoice or receipt, just ask—we can email one anytime. Some commercial customers may qualify for invoicing arrangements depending on the situation.

Do you offer short-term rentals?

Yes. Our month-to-month rental model is great for short projects like remodeling, flooring work, renovations, moving, or seasonal storage. You can keep the container as long as needed and return it when you’re done.

Can I move my rental container myself once it’s delivered?

For safety and liability reasons, customers are not allowed to move rental containers. Moving containers requires specialized equipment. If you need it moved on your property or to a new address, just call us and we can schedule a relocation.

Can you move the container to a new address (move request)?

Yes. If you need your container moved from one location to another, we can schedule a relocation. Pricing depends on distance and access conditions, so your local team will provide a quote.

What if I damage the container or it gets graffiti?

If a container is damaged or vandalized while on your property, you may be responsible for repair or cleaning fees. If you notice damage, contact us right away so we can document it and work toward the best solution.

Can I store the container at your yard instead of my property?

Yes. Many locations offer secure off-site storage. This is common for moving customers who need a gap between move-out and move-in dates. Storage fees and access rules vary by location, so your local team will confirm the details.

Can I access my container while it’s stored at your facility?

Yes. If your container is stored at our facility, you can access it by giving us 48 hours notice. This allows us time to move the container into an accessible position. Some locations include a limited number of access requests per month at no extra charge.

Do you provide insurance for the items inside the container?

We insure our delivery equipment, but we can’t insure the contents you store inside the container. Most customers call their homeowner’s or renter’s insurance provider and add coverage or confirm coverage for stored items. We also recommend customers carry adequate coverage for the container itself while it’s on their property.

Are there items I cannot store in the container?

For safety reasons, you may not store hazardous, explosive, or flammable items such as propane tanks, fuel cans, fireworks, or chemicals. Gasoline should be drained from equipment before storage.

Can I switch my rental into a purchase later?

In some cases, we may be able to offer you the option to purchase the container you’ve been renting. Availability depends on our fleet needs and inventory. Rent paid does not apply toward the purchase price, but we’re happy to discuss options.

Do you offer rent-to-own?

We offer rent-to-own options for certain new 20-foot containers. Terms and availability vary, so the best next step is to contact your local team and ask what programs are currently available.

Rent to Own

A rent-to-own program for containers allows customers to make affordable monthly payments over 24 months, with no credit check required, and the option to own the container outright once all payments are made, providing a flexible alternative to renting or buying.

Rent to Own Program Overview

Get Simple Box offers a flexible and affordable Rent-to-Own shipping container program available at each of the locations in Washington, Oregon, and California. This program is designed for customers who want to own a container without a large upfront cost. It applies to new 20-foot one-trip containers and spreads the purchase over 24 equal monthly payments, making it a budget-friendly path to ownership. There’s no credit check required, and customers have the option to pay off early—often at a discounted rate. Once all payments are made, the container is yours to keep. While modifications and relocations require prior written approval, the program is perfect for homeowners, contractors, and businesses looking for secure, on-site storage with long-term value. With local delivery and service across the West Coast, Get Simple Box makes it simple to own your own shipping container.

Benefits of Rent-to-Own

Rent-to-own shipping containers offer benefits including flexible payment schedules, ownership through rental payments, cost-effectiveness for long-term use, and potential tax advantages.

Flexibility: Rent-to-own agreements allow for a more flexible payment schedule, making it easier for businesses with budget constraints to acquire shipping containers.

Ownership: Over time, rental payments go towards owning the container outright, providing a sense of ownership and long-term savings in comparison to traditional rental agreements.

Cost Effective: Renting to own can be a cost-effective solution for businesses that require shipping containers on a long-term basis, as it saves money in the long run compared to continuous renting.

No Credit Check: You can purchase a portable storage container with less than perfect credit.

Short Terms: Rent to own a Container in just 24 months.

Better Space, Better Price: Your monthly payment is very comparable to what you would pay a local self storage facility for renting one of their units – but with a Simple Box Rent-to-Own contract, after you have finished paying all installments, YOU OWN THE CONTAINER!
