When we expanded our landscaping company last spring, we needed extra space for tools, supplies, and equipment. A portable storage container seemed like the perfect solution — affordable, flexible, delivered right to our lot. I Googled the first storage rental company that popped up. They advertised "20ft containers starting at $99 a month!" I was busy and honestly didn’t have time to shop around. I clicked “rent now,” filled out the form, and figured it was handled. Fast forward three weeks. I got the first invoice — and almost choked. $162.75. Turns out that $99 didn’t include delivery. Or pickup. Or “administration” fees. Or a sneaky "fuel surcharge." Oh, and they billed every 4 weeks, not monthly — adding an extra billing cycle every year. When I called to complain, they pointed to the fine print: “It’s all explained in the terms and conditions.” I felt ripped off. Worse, since our container was already loaded and locked up with expensive landscaping gear, I was stuck. If I had just taken an extra 10 minutes to compare quotes, I would have seen the difference. After the season ended, I vowed never to make that mistake again. This year, when we needed storage again, I got three quotes before signing. The provider I chose had transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and even gave a discount because we paid three months upfront. We saved over $900 compared to last time. And the best part? No surprises. Don't get blindsided. If your business depends on extra storage, you owe it to yourself to compare. 🛡️ Click below to get a fast, free quote — and protect your bottom line!
