Rental containers and shipping containers have similarities but also key differences. Rental containers are temporary storage units that you rent from a storage company for a specific period. You don’t own the container but pay rental fees. They are commonly used for short-term storage needs and offer customization options. In contrast, shipping containers are purchased and owned for long-distance transportation of goods. They are designed to withstand shipping conditions, and modifications are typically done after purchase. Rental containers are readily available from storage companies, while shipping containers may require sourcing from specialized suppliers. Pricing structures differ, with rental containers based on rental period and features, and shipping containers sold outright based on size, condition, and location of purchase.

The rental fee for a storage unit typically covers the cost of renting the space for a specific period of time, usually a month.

If you encounter damages or issues with a rented container, it’s important to take appropriate steps to address the situation. Firstly, document the damages or issues by taking clear photographs or videos, capturing all visible problems such as dents, rust, leaks, or structural issues. Next, notify the rental company promptly. Contact them to report the damages or issues and provide them with the documented evidence. Be clear and specific about the problems you have identified. The rental company will guide you through the next steps, which may include scheduling an inspection or arranging for repairs. Follow their instructions and provide any additional information or documentation they request. Communicate openly and maintain a record of all conversations, including dates, times, and the names of the individuals you spoke to. Keep copies of any written correspondence related to the damages or issues. By promptly notifying the rental company and providing evidence of the damages or issues, you increase the chances of a timely resolution and ensure that your concerns are addressed appropriately.
