Chances are you no longer have room in your attic or garage to cram more belongings, and at the same time you don't want to hassle with driving to a warehouse to access your items. For the best of both worlds, renting portable storage containers in Chicago, Cicero and Arlington Heights gives you flexibility for around half the price of traditional storage options.
Aptera's simple three step process can get you portable storage in Cook County in less than 24 hours:
Should I buy or rent a storage container in Cook County?
Most Aptera clients opt to rent as their need for extra storage is only temporary during remodeling, construction or an event. However, if you need to store items for longer than 12 months it is worth considering purchasing a portable storage container in Chicago. If you can overcome the main obstacle of the upfront cost (typically over $3,000 for a 40 foot, wind & water tight container), then it may be the choice for you.
Is there anything I cannot store in the container?
Other than radioactive waste, you can store anything you need in a container you rent from Aptera partners. We only ask that any liquids or acids be properly sealed so they do not damage the containers.
How do I know I am getting the best prices on portable storage in Chicago?
For starters, Aptera only works with a select few portable storage companies in Cook County that have proven a multi year track record of taking care of customers at reasonable rates. You can get even lower rates by renting a container for a longer period of time, renting multiple containers, and simply asking for a good customer discount if you have rented before.
When I no longer need storage, how long does it take until the container is picked up?
Pick up can take up to 72 hours during the busy season, but Aptera partners shoot for 24 hours. If you schedule your pick up in advance you can nearly always get the container picked up on the exact date you want.
Do you offer portable storage pods?
When most people ask about storage pods they are referring to smaller, typically 5 ft. x 5 ft. storage containers built from wood or composites that were popularized by PODS Enterprises. You will not find these containers with Aptera, as we focus on all steel, highly secure portable storage containers for Cook County businesses that require storage of highly valuable items.
How big are the containers?
Though there are custom sizes in the inventory, you can typically rent 40 foot, 20 foot and 10 foot containers. Most containers are 8 feet in height and width. Interior dimensions reduce this by a few inches, so expect usable space of just over 7.5 feet in height and width.
