What Does a Storage Container Cost Per Month?
Monthly pricing is how almost everyone rents a storage container in Aurora, because job sites and home projects rarely need one for just a few days. Expect $100 to $250 a month across the size range, with a smaller unit near the bottom and a full 40ft storage container near the top. A 20ft storage container sits in the middle of that band for most renters. Delivery is billed on top of the monthly rate, and that fee depends on how far the truck has to travel and how much clearance it needs at the drop point. If you are comparing against a portable toilet budget for the same project, the porta potty monthly rental page runs the same math for restrooms. Renters juggling both storage and sanitation for a single job often ask about construction site services pricing as a bundle, since delivery trips can sometimes be coordinated.
What Affects Storage Container Rental Rates Near Me?
Size, delivery distance and rental length are the three levers that move your rate. A 40 foot box costs more to move and more to rent monthly than a 20 foot box, plain and simple. Aurora sits close to a handful of towns First Choice Porta Potty already services on a known drive time: North Aurora is 5.2 miles northwest, Montgomery is 6.0 miles southwest, and Batavia is 7.3 miles north. A delivery inside Aurora proper costs less to schedule than one out toward Plainfield, 12.6 miles south, or St. Charles, 12.6 miles north, simply because the truck spends more time on the road. If your project also needs a dumpster instead of storage, the roll-off dumpster rental page breaks out that separate cost, and the dumpster rental cost guide compares sizes the same way this page compares container sizes.
Storage Container Rental Prices By Size
| unit | duration | typical monthly cost |
|---|---|---|
| storage container | month | $125 |
That single line covers the bulk of what renters pay, but the number moves with size and site access. A 20 foot unit and a 40 foot unit both fall inside the same $100 to $250 band, with the shorter box usually priced toward the low end and the longer box toward the high end. Refrigerated storage containers and specialty units are not part of that measured range, so get a direct quote from First Choice Porta Potty if your load needs temperature control. Renters comparing portable storage container rental cost against a mobile office should look at the mobile office trailer rental page, since an office trailer prices differently than a straight storage box.

How Do I Get an Accurate Storage Container Rental Quote?
Tell First Choice Porta Potty your site address, how long you need the box, and whether the truck has clear access, because those three answers set the delivery fee. A tight alley or a locked gate changes what the driver can do, the same way a roll-off dumpster rental delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to place the container safely. Storage boxes are lighter to maneuver than a loaded roll-off, but placement still matters on a crowded Aurora lot. If you are renting for a home project rather than a job site, mention that too, since residential delivery windows sometimes differ from commercial ones. Anyone stacking a container rental with sanitation needs for the same address should check portable restroom rental or porta john rental pricing at the same time, so both trucks can be scheduled together instead of on separate trips. A written quote through request a quote locks in the number before delivery day.
How much does it cost to rent a storage container for a month in Aurora?
Most renters pay $100 to $250 a month, with the exact figure set by container size and delivery distance. A 20 foot box typically lands lower in that range, a 40 foot box higher. Delivery is quoted separately based on your Aurora address and site access.
Is a portable storage container rental cheaper than a PODS-style container?
Pricing varies by provider and container size, and this page only covers the measured $100 to $250 monthly band for standard storage containers. Ask First Choice Porta Potty directly for a comparison quote against any specific brand or box size you are considering.
Do refrigerated storage containers cost more to rent?
Refrigerated units are not included in the standard $100 to $250 monthly range, since they carry added equipment and power needs. Contact First Choice Porta Potty for a direct quote if your project needs temperature-controlled storage rather than a standard dry box.
How far in advance should I book a storage container in Aurora?
Booking early gives you more flexibility on delivery date, especially if your site sits farther out, like toward Downers Grove at 17.8 miles east. Same-week delivery is often possible, but locking in your date early avoids scheduling conflicts on busy weeks.
Can I rent a storage container and a dumpster at the same time?
Yes, and many Aurora job sites do exactly that. Storage containers and roll-off dumpster rental units serve different purposes on site, one holding materials and one hauling debris, and First Choice Porta Potty can coordinate both deliveries for the same address.
