Why Big Box
Most storage makes you do the hauling. A Big Box portable storage unit comes to you, so the hardest part of storing your things simply disappears.
Big 16-ft containers are hard to place on San Diego's narrow streets and steep driveways, and you pay for every empty foot. Big Box uses one modular size instead:
Two boxes fit in one car-sized parking spot
Add or drop boxes as your project changes. We can even swap full boxes for empty ones
Moving 3 rooms? Rent 3 boxes, not a container built for 5
Up to 2,000 lbs per box
Portable storage cost
Simple monthly pricing per box, a flat delivery fee, and no charge to visit your stuff.

Each Big Box fits one to one-and-a-half rooms. Use our quick and easy calculator to find out how many Big Boxes you’ll need. And don’t worry — feel free to overestimate because you’ll only be charged for what you use.
Before delivery day
Most customers place their Big Box on a driveway, in a parking space or on a private lot. Because the box is only 8 × 5 ft, it fits where full-size containers can't.
Driveway or private property: no city permit needed
Apartments & condos: two boxes fit in one parking space. Check with your property manager first
HOA communities: many limit how long containers can stay visible. Ask about time limits, or send the box to our facility
Public street: the City of San Diego requires a Traffic Control Permit, so apply well ahead. Other cities such as Chula Vista and Oceanside set their own rules
