If well packed, in most cases a 20-foot Go Mini’s container will hold the contents of a 3-bedroom home without appliances.

The unit can stay at your location for the entire storage time. If you want the rental storage unit stored at our facility, then the rental container can stay at your location for as long as you need and we will pick it up when you are done packing. Unless a specific regulation defines the amount of time a container may be placed at your location, you may keep it for as long as you need.
We recommend that you safely pack all of your belongings using bubble wrap and boxes where appropriate. We are able to provide packing and moving supplies, which can be easily added to your order during the quote process and delivered with your unit.
Heavy items should be positioned on the floor of the container, with lighter items on top. Use moving blankets to protect furniture and straps to secure belongings if necessary. The tighter the unit is packed, the more you will fit and the safer the contents will be.
