Which one fits

Rent, rent-to-own, or buy?

Worth two minutes before you start an application. The right answer is usually about how long you'll keep it.

Rent

Best for temporary storage.

Renovations, moving, jobsites, seasonal overflow — any need with an end date.

See Rental Options
Rent-to-own

Best if you want to keep it but prefer payments over time.

You enter a rental agreement and work toward ownership across the term you choose. No traditional credit check.

Worth understanding

Rent-to-own is not a traditional loan.

The program is structured as a rental agreement, not a loan. There's no principal-and-interest structure to work through. You make the agreed rental payments across the term you selected, and ownership transfers to you once the agreement is successfully completed.

Questions

The things people ask us.

Anything not covered here, call or text (804) 822-4610 and ask.

01Does rent-to-own use an interest rate?

No. The current program is structured as a rental agreement rather than a traditional loan, so there is no principal-and-interest structure.

02Do you check my credit?

The current program does not use a traditional credit check. Applications can be reviewed using the information on your application along with public background information.

03What are the available terms?

Current terms range from 12 to 48 months. You choose the term during the quote process.

04Can I pay it off early?

Yes. The current program offers a 33% discount on the remaining balance for early payoff.

05Do I own the container at the end?

Yes. Once the full agreement is successfully completed, ownership transfers to you.

06Can I move the container during the agreement?

Relocation is allowed with prior approval. Transportation costs are the customer’s responsibility.

07Is a down payment required?

Yes, an initial payment is required. The exact amount is shown during the quote and application process rather than published here.

08What if I only need storage for a few months?

A standard rental is probably the better fit — fixed monthly rate, we deliver it and pick it up when you’re done. See the Rent page for current rates.
