– Cost
This is the single most important factor when deciding whether to rent or buy a shipping container. You should also factor in the cost of insurance and the cost of other necessary equipment and inputs needed to set up the container.
– Location
Another important factor to consider when choosing whether to rent or buy a shipping container is the location. You want to ensure that the location is convenient and within your budget.
– Size
When renting a container, you need to first decide on the size. Generally, the larger the size, the more expensive the rental. The size of the container will also depend on how long you want to rent it for.
For example, you wouldn’t want to pick a 20-foot container for a project that only needed a 10-foot container, or vice versa. You need to ensure that the size of the container you pick will be big enough to store all of your goods.
