  • Damage waiver (optional — waived if you add CTMS to your insurance)
  • Sales tax (as required by Texas law)

Why Use Shipping Containers for Storage?

  • Durability: Weather-resistant and built from steel
  • Security: Lockable, sealed, and difficult to break into
  • Mobility: Delivered to your site and repositionable as needed
  • Versatility: Perfect for construction, farming, retail, events, and more

 

We own every unit we rent out — meaning no third-party fees, better availability, and fast local support.
