Common Questions on Hiring a Container
Give us a call or fill in a quote form on our website.
We’ll need a few details like the postcode for where you need the container delivered, what type & size of container you’re after.
You’ll get a price per month as well as a delivery price. We keep the delivery costs as low as possible by delivering from the closest of our 8 UK depots to your location.
You give us a call and arrange for the container to be picked up.
There are no minimum notice periods (i.e you don’t have to tell us a month in advance you’re giving it up) but we do need to charge you until collection can take place (this can be a few days as we work out the transportation logistics).
So it’s best to give us one week’s heads up that you’re intending to hand the container back.
We will send you an email on how to best prepare to take delivery of your container.
But the main thing is the site needs to be accessible from a road where our hi-abs can comfortable reach – these vehicles are at least 12 metres long.
If that isn’t possible we’ll need some other method of unloading the container (e.g using a forklift capable of holding the weight of a shipping container, operated by someone with a valid forklift license).
We’ve been dealing in renting shipping containers for 20+ years.
We’ve got a solid track record of friendly & professional customer service. As our name suggests our main aim is to make storage more affordable and offer the most competitive rates possible.
