Published: October 15, 2022

Storage containers provide an additional, safe place to store your belongings so that you can have peace of mind knowing they’re not susceptible to the elements or theft. Whether you’re in between homes, traveling, or renovating your house, here are five reasons why you may need to rent a temporary storage container.

You’re Moving Homes or Offices

Storage units are becoming increasingly popular for moves of all types, whether you’re relocating your home or business. With UNITS, we’ll deliver your container straight to your front door for easy packing and unpacking. Plus, our storage units come with features like tie-down rings to keep your belongings secure during transport and prevent any damage.

You’re Renovating Your Home

If you’re painting, renovating, or adding on to your home, you’ll likely need a place to store your furniture during the construction process. Short-term rental storage containers offer a safe and secure way to keep all your belongings in one place while freeing up space for any materials you may need for the project, such as power tools, wood, cabinets, flooring, and more.

You Need Temporary Storage for an Event

If you’ve got a business event that will require extra space, consider renting out a storage container. You can use it to store things like tables, games, and other large items for the event. Or if you need somewhere to keep equipment or supplies, a storage container would work great for that too.  And since you only need it for a short time, it’s the perfect solution.

You’re Decluttering Your Home

Clutter sneaks up on all of us, and before you know it, your home is crammed full of stuff. If this sounds familiar and you want to get rid of some things, renting a storage container is an easy way to declutter and organize your belongings. You can put anything you want into the storage container, giving you time to sort everything later. Once everything is sorted, donating or throwing away your items becomes much easier–you can simply drive the storage container to where it needs to go.

You’re Taking a Trip Abroad

A temporary portable storage container is the perfect solution for students renting out their space for a semester while they’re studying abroad or for anyone taking a trip overseas for an extended period of time. You can store anything you need in your container, from furniture and clothes to mini-fridges and appliances.
