9 Surprising Perks You Get When You Rent a Storage Container

Renovations are messy. Job sites shift daily. Timelines change without warning. When you need storage or workspace, you don’t have time for confusion, delays, or fine print. You need clarity, flexibility, and support that doesn’t disappear once the container is dropped off. 

That’s why Secure-Rite storage container rentals are designed with more than just four walls and a door. From your first phone call to the moment we pick up the container, our team is focused on delivering value, not just a metal box. 

If you're comparing shipping container rental companies and wondering what you actually get for your money, here are nine unexpected perks that come standard with every Secure-Rite rental! 

1. Free On-Site Assessment Included 

Not sure if a 20-foot container will fit in your driveway? Worried about slope or access? We’ll visit your site – whether you're in the Okanagan, Lower Mainland or over in Alberta – and evaluate the perfect fit. This ensures smooth delivery, no placement surprises, and peace of mind on delivery day.   

2. Secure-Grade Lockbox Included In Your Shipping Container 

Security matters. Every Secure-Rite container comes with a welded, tamper-resistant lockbox that protects your padlock from tampering or cutting. It’s part of the standard rental, not an upgrade or add-on. 

3. Our Delivery Fleet Means Better Timing and Flexibility 

We don’t rely on third-party haulers. Our in-house delivery fleet means more control, better communication, and greater flexibility if your schedule shifts. We’re able to accommodate last-minute needs without the typical “we’ll get back to you” delays. 

4. Placement Blocks Already Included 

Level placement protects both your contents and your site. We show up with blocks and pads ready to go. No scrambling. No extra fees. 

5. Rent-to-Own Credit You Can Use 

Not ready to buy yet? No problem. If you rent for six months and then decide to purchase the unit, you can apply 50 percent of what you've paid in rent toward the purchase price. It’s flexible and fair! 

6. Secure Yard Storage When You Need It 

Sometimes you need storage, but can’t keep a container on-site. We offer secure, fenced, snow-managed yard storage in multiple locations across BC and Alberta, including Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, Surrey and Calgary. Whether you’re between jobs or just waiting on access, your container stays protected. 

7. Prorated Billing After Your First Month 

You shouldn’t pay for time you didn’t use. After your first full rental month, we prorate your billing to match your actual usage. Whether it's 12 days or 23, you’ll only be billed for what you used – no rounding up.  

8. Placement Guarantee or You Don’t Pay 

If we complete a site assessment and agree the container can be placed safely, but can’t deliver due to unforeseen access issues, we won’t charge you. No hidden clauses, no wasted delivery fees. 

9. On-Time Delivery, Every Time 

When we say your container will arrive on Monday, it arrives on Monday. Our experienced drivers are trained for residential, rural, and commercial deliveries throughout BC and Alberta. We take placement seriously – not just dropping the unit, but placing it safely, cleanly, and properly levelled. 

You Deserve More Than Just a Storage Container 

Anyone can rent a storage container to you. But if you value clear communication, flexible options, and no billing surprises, Secure-Rite is built for you. These nine perks were designed to solve the most common pain points our customers share: Delays, fees, and unanswered questions. 

We don’t think good service should cost extra. We think it should be the standard with every rental.  Wouldn’t you agree?
