How much does a 20ft storage container cost in Reno?
Monthly rental for a standard storage container rental runs in the range shown below, and Reno Porta Pros bases pricing on placement distance, ground surface and rental length. A one month job costs less per day than a short one, but the math flips if you only need it for a weekend project, the same logic covered on porta potty rental per day and monthly porta potty rental. Delivery adds a separate fee, and that number depends on how far the container has to travel from our yard, whether the drop is inside Reno proper or out toward Sparks, 9.2 miles east, or Verdi, 9.6 miles west. Check storage container rental cost for a fuller breakdown, compare against the 40ft storage container if you need double the floor space, and see porta potty rental cost if the same site also needs restrooms. Some renovation crews pair a container with a home renovation porta potty so the crew has both storage and a restroom on site without two separate vendors to coordinate.
| item | duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| storage container | month | 100 | 125 | 250 |
| delivery fee | day | 100 | 150 | 500 |
| delivery fee | month | 120 | 172 | 420 |
What are 20ft storage container dimensions and weight?
A 20ft unit measures close to 20 feet by 8 feet on the ground, with about 8.5 feet of interior height, which is enough clearance for stacked pallets or bulk construction material, roughly the same footprint discussion you'll find under 10 yard dumpster rental or 20 yard dumpster rental. Empty weight sits around 5,000 pounds, so placement needs a delivery truck with a flatbed or hook-lift trailer, similar to how a roll-off dumpster delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. That clearance rule matters just as much for a container drop in a tight Reno driveway as it does for a roll-off dumpster rental, and it's worth checking dumpster weight limits too if you're renting both. If your lot has a slope or a narrow alley approach, tell us before delivery day so we can confirm truck access, the same way we would for a restroom trailer rental that also needs a level, clear path. For side by side dimension comparisons across sizes, see dumpster sizes and dimensions, which covers ground footprint for several equipment types even though containers aren't dumpsters, and what cannot go in a dumpster is worth a read before you fill either one.
Does Reno Porta Pros offer a 20ft mobile office container with trailer?
We coordinate delivery of office-style and cold storage container configurations for job sites that need more than bulk storage. A 20ft mobile office container with trailer setup works for site supervisors who need a desk and plan table close to the crew, and a 20ft cold storage container option exists for jobs needing temperature control, such as catering support near an event restroom rental setup, a festival restroom rental site, or a wedding restroom rental reception. Ask about availability when you request a quote, since these configurations are more limited than standard dry units. Construction crews running a construction site services package often add a container alongside a temporary fence rental or a chain link temporary fence to secure the whole lot, and OSHA 1926.25 requires job sites to keep scrap and debris cleared from work areas, which a dedicated storage container helps with directly. Crews staging a mobile office trailer rental nearby often add a container for the same lot.
How long can I rent a 20ft storage container?
Rental terms run month to month, and most Reno customers keep a unit for the length of a full project rather than a single week. Longer terms lower the effective daily cost. Contact Reno Porta Pros to lock in a term that matches your renovation or build schedule.
Do I need a permit for a storage container in Reno?
Placement in the right of way or on certain lots may need city sign-off, and that has to be confirmed directly with Reno before delivery. We don't guess on permit rules. Ask our office and we'll help you figure out what applies to your address.
Can a 20ft container sit on gravel or dirt?
A level, compacted surface works best for a 20ft unit, since an uneven base can strain the doors and frame over a long rental. Gravel is usually fine if it's compacted. Soft dirt or a slope needs review before we schedule delivery.
What can I store in a 20ft container?
Most customers store tools, fixtures, inventory or renovation materials. Hazardous materials, flammables and anything requiring climate control beyond our cold storage option are excluded. Ask about your specific load when you request a quote.
Does Reno Porta Pros deliver outside Reno?
Yes, we deliver to towns near Reno including Sparks, Sun Valley, 7.7 miles northeast, and Golden Valley, 7.6 miles north. Check service areas for the full list, or call ahead if your site sits further out toward Spanish Springs or Cold Springs.
