This is one of the most common shipping container rental questions we receive, and for good reason. The answer is complicated and depends on your situation.
If you know you are going to need the shipping container permanently, then you probably want to buy containers or rent to own.
But if you have cost restrictions or aren’t sure how long you will need your container for, renting containers or renting to own the container may be the better option. These options allow you to get a shipping container now without putting a lot of money down upfront.
