How to Get Started
How to Rent a 20’ Storage Container
Renting a shipping container through Western Container Sales is an easy and seamless process through our online booking system. We guarantee a hassle-free experience, helping you to reserve and receive your rental container within 2–5 business days.
You Choose Container Specs
We offer multiple container sizes for rental. If you aren’t sure which size container you need, visit our dimensions page to find out more about each container size.
Provide Delivery Details
In order to facilitate a smooth delivery, you will need to provide us with your zip code, delivery address and a site contact that can be reached when the container is en route. Note: once the container has been delivered, we cannot relocate the container until you make a pick-up request. We do not move loaded containers. If you are looking for container transport services, you’ll need to contact our partner, PODS.
We’ll Source Your Container
Once your order has been placed and we have all of your necessary details, we source a storage container from intermodal cargo circulation. We go directly to the supplier; this avoids any delays and unnecessary additional costs.
Once your rental container has been sourced, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Our guarantee covers the doors, floors, and roof (but not the cosmetic condition of the storage container).
Your Storage Container is Delivered
The cost of your container delivery will be calculated during the checkout process, so you won’t be charged for any hidden costs along the way. Once your order has been confirmed, we deliver your rental container within 2–5 business days.
Things to Consider Before Renting a 20ft Storage Container
There are a couple of things that should be considered before you commit to a rental container for storage needs.
Space is Needed for Delivery of Your Rental Container
In order for the truck to deliver your rental container, there needs to be enough space. Please ensure that your delivery site can accommodate a 75ft truck with some additional space to maneuver the truck and offload the 20-foot container.
Our Trucks Need a Firm Surface
The trucks that deliver our 20-foot containers can weigh up to 45,000 pounds. This means they need a firm surface to drive on. If your container is going to be dropped off on dirt or grass, please ensure it is strong enough to support a delivery truck.
Plan on 2–5 Business Days for Delivery
We only work with CDL certified local haulers, and will deliver your rental within 2–5 business days. This should take 1 business day to arrange, so await our confirmation email for the exact day your 20ft rental storage container will arrive.
Used Containers are “Next Off Stack”
Our 20-foot rental storage containers are “next off stack,” which means you cannot pick a color. If you want to get a better idea of what our 20-foot rental containers look like, visit our sample photos page.

How Do Steel Storage Containers Compare to PODS?
PODS (Portable On Demand Storage) is the leading company for portable storage solutions across the nation. Although both PODS and Western Container Sales provide portable storage rentals nationwide, we have several notable differences.
PODS containers are smaller and lighter because they’re constructed from a mix of steel, fiberglass, aluminum, and plastic, and are designed for mobility even when loaded. In contrast, our rentals are repurposed cargo shipping containers, featuring all-steel construction with wood floors supported by steel cross members. Generally, steel shipping containers provide a larger and more heavy-duty storage option compared to standard PODS containers, but unlike PODS, we do not move loaded containers.
