Steel shipping containers are an extremely versatile storage solution. They provide cost-effective and secure storage, making them suitable for many purposes. They are ideal for adding quick secure storage at your location or for storing supplies at a construction site. On-Site Storage Solutions offers the best price on shipping containers in the industry and our Rent-To-Own program makes owning a shipping affordable for almost any budget. With lower upfront costs and flexible terms, we can provide the storage you need at a price you can afford. In this blog, we will explore the advantages of rent-to-own shipping containers, how the process works, and why it’s more economical than traditional storage options like mini self-storage units.
Exploring the Benefits of Rent-To-Own Shipping Containers
Rent-to-own shipping containers offer a compelling alternative to conventional storage solutions like self-storage units. Compared to self-storage units, you gain the convenience of having your stored items near where you need them. Additional you are in control of the storage container so you control the level of security needed to protect your stored property.
For many, the most compelling benefit is being able to own a container with a lower upfront cost and affordable monthly payments. We offer flexible payment terms of 12, 24, 36 and 48 months. Once you complete your payment term you will own the container. So instead of renting where you will not own anything, with a rent-to-own shipping container from On-Site Storage Solutions you own the container when all payments are complete. If you decide you no longer need the container, we offer a buy-back and consignment option or you can sell it on your own.

Cost Comparison - Buy vs. Rent vs. Rent-To-Own
When evaluating the costs associated with renting, buying, or choosing rent-to-own shipping containers, it’s crucial to consider both your short-term and long-term needs.
Storage container rental prices can vary significantly based on factors such as size, condition, customization, and rental duration. The average cost to rent a 20-foot storage container typically ranges from $100 to $300 per month. Rentals don’t lead to ownership and can become expensive over time, making them less cost-effective for extended use.
Purchasing a shipping container outright may seem like a cost-effective solution, with the average cost of buying a 20-foot used shipping container typically ranging between $1,500 and $3,000. However, this upfront cost can be prohibitive for some, particularly those with short-term needs and budget constraints.
On the other hand, rent-to-own shipping containers offer lower upfront costs similar to rental with the benefit of ownership once your last rent-to-own payment is made. Depending on the term you select, you could actually pay less per month for a rent-to-own container versus a rental container. No matter what term you select you will own the container once you make the last rent-to-own payment.
