Storage container rental in Minneapolis runs from about 100 to 250 dollars a month depending on size and how long you need it. Most contractors and homeowners book a 20ft unit for a renovation or a move, and Minneapolis Porta Pros delivers straight to the curb or the job site. A 40ft box costs more but doubles your space.
Monthly rates for a storage container in Minneapolis land between 100 and 250 dollars, and that spread mostly comes down to container size and rental length. Shorter jobs still get billed monthly since these units aren't priced by the day. If you're weighing a storage container rental against a mobile office trailer for the same renovation, the storage box is usually the cheaper line item. Compare a 20ft storage container against a 40ft storage container before you commit, because doubling the length doesn't double the price. For a full breakdown by size, see our storage container rental cost page. We also run roll-off dumpster rental alongside container drops on the same site visit, which is common on remodel jobs in Minneapolis where debris and storage needs hit at the same time.

A 20ft storage container is the most requested size for kitchen remodels, garage cleanouts and small commercial moves across Minneapolis. It holds roughly the contents of a two to three bedroom house without stacking tight. If that's not enough room, step up to a 40ft storage container, which roughly doubles capacity for jobs like full home renovations or contractor staging. Either size delivers on a flatbed and gets set on a driveway, gravel pad or job site. Delivery access matters here the same way it does for a roll-off dumpster rental: our drivers need clear straight-line space to back in and drop safely. If your lot is tight, ask about placement before delivery day so nothing gets delayed. We serve sites across Minneapolis and into St. Louis Park, 8.0 miles west, and Richfield, 8.1 miles south, on the same delivery routes.
A portable storage container rental comes to you, which is the entire difference from a self storage unit you drive to. For contractors juggling tools, fixtures and materials on an active Minneapolis job, that difference saves real time. Pods storage container rental services work the same way: the unit sits on your property for the length of the job, then gets picked up when you're done. Homeowners doing a home renovation often pair a storage container with a portable toilet rental for crew use, since both sit on site for the same stretch of weeks. If you're comparing a rental storage container to a fixed facility, factor in that you're not making repeat trips, and the container doubles as a lockable, weatherproof box right where the work happens. We also stock temporary fence rental for sites that need the container and the yard both secured.
Minneapolis Porta Pros delivers storage containers directly to job sites and residential driveways across the city, plus the surrounding suburbs on our regular routes. That includes Roseville, 9.0 miles northeast, Edina, 11.0 miles southwest, and Bloomington, 12.3 miles south. Search "storage container rental near me" and you'll likely land on a handful of providers, but delivery radius and truck access change the answer fast once you're outside the core city. Check our service areas page for the full list, including Minnetonka at 13.5 miles west and Eagan at 13.7 miles southeast. For sites further out, like Burnsville at 16.1 miles south or Eden Prairie at 16.9 miles southwest, delivery is still doable, just confirm lead time when you request a quote.
Placement in the public right of way, like a street or boulevard strip, needs confirming with the City of Minneapolis before delivery, since that rule varies by block and by how long the container sits. If the container stays entirely on private property, driveway or yard, permitting is rarely an issue, but city rules differ enough that we always tell customers to check first rather than guess. This is the same caution we give for temporary fence rental and roll-off dumpster rental placement. If your job also needs a dumpster permit for street placement, sort both requests at once so delivery day doesn't get held up. We can advise on driveway clearance and placement basics even when the permit question sits with the city.
A 20ft container handles furniture, boxed goods, tools, small equipment and building materials without much trouble, since the internal space is built for stacking. Fragile or climate sensitive items need padding, since these are steel boxes without climate control. Contractors staging a job often keep the container loaded with lumber, fixtures and tools for the length of a remodel, then swap it for a 40ft storage container if the job grows. For jobs generating a lot of debris alongside storage needs, order a 10 yard dumpster rental or 20 yard dumpster rental at the same time so trash and stored materials don't end up mixed on site. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions if you're not sure which box fits the job, and see what cannot go in a dumpster before you start loading either unit.
Most Minneapolis customers rent by the month, and there's no fixed cap since renovations and moves run on unpredictable schedules. Extending is simple: call before your current term ends and we'll roll the rental forward. Long jobs that also need restroom coverage often bundle a container with a standard porta potty rental or a deluxe flushable porta potty for crew comfort over multiple months. If you're not sure how many restrooms your crew needs alongside the container, our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through OSHA 1926.51(c) ratios for job sites. Construction crews juggling a full site setup, storage, fencing, sanitation, should look at our construction site services page for the combined view, or request pricing directly through request a quote.
Monthly rates run 100 to 250 dollars depending on container size, with a 20ft unit typically landing toward the lower end. Rental length and delivery distance can shift the final number, so confirm your quote before delivery day.
Street or right of way placement needs confirming with the City of Minneapolis first, since rules vary by location. Driveway or private property placement is usually simpler and avoids the question entirely.
A 20ft container fits most home renovations, garage cleanouts and small commercial moves. Larger jobs, full house renovations or contractor staging, often need a 40ft storage container instead for the extra room.
