Buying vs. Renting Cargo Containers
Deciding to buy or rent cargo containers depends on your needs, budget, and long-term plans. Owning a container is cost-effective if you need it for an extended period or for multiple uses. You can also modify the container to suit your needs, such as adding shelving, insulation, or security features.
There are many advantages of renting a cargo container including lower initial cost and no long-term commitment. Renting is ideal short-term needs or fluctuating storage requirements. You can easily return or exchange the container as needed. You also won’t have to worry about maintenance and repairs, our team will handle that.
New vs. Used Cargo Containers
Another decision you will need to make is whether you want to purchase a new or used container. We ensure that all of our used containers are in good condition, but it may make more sense depending on your needs to buy a new container.
New containers are in pristine condition, with no wear and tear. They come with a warranty in case there are manufacturing defects. You can also choose to customize your container to better fit your needs. New containers look more professional and are less likely to have cosmetic imperfections.
But of course opting for a used container will provide a cost savings. Used containers are significantly cheaper, making them a more budget-friendly option. Pre-owned containers are also more readily available, especially if you’re looking for standard sizes and types. Lastly, Used containers have already depreciated, so they retain their value better over time.
