A portable storage container in Ontario runs from about $100 to $250 a month depending on size and rental length, with most jobs landing near $125 for a standard 20ft box. Delivery adds a separate fee, and job trailers or mobile offices price out higher than a plain steel container.
Straight talk: monthly is the only way most companies here price these boxes, and the range runs $100 to $250 depending on container size, ground conditions at your Ontario site, and how long you keep it. A short one-month job sits at the low end, and the porta potty monthly rental page shows the same low-end pattern for toilets billed by the month. Contractors holding a container through a multi-phase build tend to land in the middle of that band, the kind of job also covered on the construction site services page. If you are comparing a 20ft storage container against a 40ft storage container, expect the larger box to cost more per month, not less, and delivery is billed separately from the monthly rate. Ontario Porta Pros prices these the same way most of the market does: a flat monthly number plus a one-time delivery charge. If your job also needs a place for the crew to work out of, look at a mobile office trailer rental instead of a bare box. For the full breakdown by size, the storage container rental page walks through what fits in each footprint.
| Container | Month (low) | Month (typical) | Month (high) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Storage container | $100 | $125 | $250 |
That single band covers most standard steel containers rented in Ontario, and where you land inside it depends on size, term length and site access, much like the logic laid out on porta potty rental cost for toilets. A 20ft storage container sits toward the lower end for shorter rentals. A 40ft storage container or a longer hold pushes toward the top. Delivery is quoted separately and depends on distance from the yard and how much clearance the truck needs at drop-off; a roll-off style delivery generally wants about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and the same access rule applies to a storage box delivered on a similar trailer, whether it comes from a construction dumpster rental fleet or a dedicated storage carrier. If your Ontario property sits close to Eastvale, about 6.8 miles south, or Jurupa Valley, roughly 9.0 miles east, mention that when you call so the dispatcher can route the truck efficiently, and check the service areas page if you are near Montclair or Upland too. Compare the monthly figure against a storage container rental cost breakdown for other yard equipment, or check dumpster rental cost if you are debating a box versus a roll-off for a cleanup job.
Not usually, at least not in the numbers we see across the market. Storage container rental prices for standard steel boxes and portable storage container rental cost for a POD-style unit both fall in the same rough monthly band, $100 to $250, because both are priced on size and duration rather than brand. What actually moves the number is whether you need the unit dropped once and left, or moved between sites. A construction crew running a job near a fixed address in Ontario rarely needs the box relocated, so a steel container works fine and keeps delivery to one trip. A residential move that needs the container picked up and driven across town costs more in delivery, not in the base monthly rate, similar to how a home renovation porta potty job gets priced on delivery distance rather than the toilet itself. If your project also needs waste hauled off, a roll-off dumpster rental or a look at dumpster sizes and dimensions will tell you whether a 10 yard dumpster rental, a 20 yard dumpster rental or a larger 30 or 40 yard box fits the job better than storage.
Placement in the public right of way, on a street or in front of a curb, needs confirming with the City of Ontario before delivery. Rules vary by zone and by how long the container sits, and we have not verified a specific ordinance number here, so do not assume a container is exempt just because it is temporary. If the box stays entirely on private property, on a driveway or a job site pad, permit questions are less likely to come up, but check anyway before the truck shows, the same way you would confirm placement rules on the porta potty placement guide. This is the same caution that applies to fencing and dumpsters: see dumpster permit requirements and porta potty permit requirements for how that question gets handled on other equipment. A temporary fence rental around a container on a job site is worth pricing too, since fencing runs $30 to $75 a day and keeps a storage box secured overnight, and a chain link temporary fence is the most common style contractors ask for.
Monthly rates run $100 to $250 depending on container size and rental length, with most standard 20ft boxes landing near $125. Delivery is a separate line item. Longer rentals do not cost less per month than shorter ones; the range reflects size and site access more than term.
We have not verified refrigerated container pricing or availability as a standard offering. If your job needs temperature-controlled storage, call and ask directly rather than assuming it fits inside the standard steel container band listed here.
Delivery is billed separately from the monthly rental and depends on distance and site access. The truck needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance to place the box, similar to a roll-off delivery, so clear the drop zone before the driver arrives.
Yes. Monthly is the standard billing period for these units, and a single month sits at the lower end of the $100 to $250 range. There is no daily or weekly rate published for standard storage containers.
Probably not if it stays entirely on private property, but confirm with the City of Ontario before delivery. Placement in a street or right of way is a separate question and needs a direct check with the city, since no ordinance number is confirmed here.
