In Indiana
One-trip conex boxes for jobsites across Indiana. No-fees pricing, no rental term, and a same-day quote every time.
If you are pricing a conex for a jobsite, you already know what you need, so we keep it simple. Every unit we rent is one-trip, which means clean steel, doors that open the way they should, and a box that looks right parked in front of an owner. You get a quote the same day you ask for it, the rate on that quote is the rate you pay, and there is no minimum term to sign.
Two sizes cover almost every jobsite. The 20 handles tight sites and split storage, while the 40 high cube gives you the most volume out of a single footprint.
20 feet long, standard height. About 1,170 cubic feet.
Fits where a 40 will not, and it needs at least 80 feet of straight-line backing room for delivery, or just 50 feet with a higher-cost tow truck delivery. A good choice when access is tight or when you would rather spread storage across a few points on the site.
40 feet long, high cube. About 2,694 cubic feet.
The one-trip 40 is a high cube, so you get close to a foot more interior height than the standard-height used boxes most companies rent out. Plan on at least 100 feet of straight-line room for the truck, a hard minimum for this size.
Four things move the number, and none of them are surprise line items added after the fact.
| Factor | How it affects your rate |
|---|---|
| Container size | A 40 high cube rents for more than a 20, though not double. If you are close between the two, the 40 is usually better value per cubic foot. |
| Rental length | Billing runs in 28-day periods rather than calendar months, so you get 13 periods a year and the occasional month with two invoices. Long projects can sometimes earn a better rate, handled case by case. |
| Delivery and pickup | Priced by distance and site access, charged once on the first invoice and never again. The pickup charge is firm at the time you order, not estimated and revised later. |
| Add-ons you choose | Lock rentals and the damage waiver are optional services, priced separately because they are services rather than padding on the base rate. |
The national companies build their headline rate low and then add charges that have nothing to do with the container sitting on your site. We do not run that play.
Fuel is part of what it costs us to deliver a container, so it stays in the delivery charge instead of showing up as its own line.
You should not pay a recurring fee for the privilege of us owning the container you are already renting.
Some companies pass a made-up excise charge to the customer. Sales tax is real and required by law, and that is the only tax on your invoice.
The rate is fixed for the life of the rental. It does not step up after a minimum term, because there is no minimum term.
Every rental carries an insurance requirement, and you choose how to meet it. Most commercial customers simply send a certificate of insurance, which costs nothing if your company already carries coverage, and you stay responsible for damage to the container. If you cannot get a certificate together in time, or you would just rather not use your own policy, you can opt into our Loss Damage Waiver instead, which means you are not responsible for certain types of damage. The waiver is priced by container size and type, and it is a service you choose rather than something we require. The difference worth knowing is that the national companies effectively make theirs mandatory, while you get an actual choice here.
Most delivery problems trace back to access, so it helps to walk the spot before you schedule.
Call, email, or order online and you get a quote the same day. It comes over digitally so you can review and sign from your phone.
Once you accept, we schedule delivery as soon as we can get a truck to you, and we tell you exactly when to expect it.
Solid, level ground with no overhead obstructions, and an entry wide enough for a semi and trailer. Doors need swing room once it is set.
The truck needs at least 80 feet of straight-line backing for a 20 and a hard minimum of 100 feet for a 40. Tight sites can get a 20 by integrated tow truck in just 50 feet at a higher cost; there is no equivalent for a 40.
Tool theft off open jobsites is common and expensive, so the box needs to do more than keep rain out.
A steel shroud covers the padlock so bolt cutters cannot reach the shackle, which removes the easiest way in.
These are built for ocean transit, so the walls and cargo doors hold up to far more than a jobsite will throw at them.
One-trip units have square frames and aligned lock rods, so the doors actually close and lock instead of fighting you every morning.
One-trip boxes carry more air vents than worn used units, which means better airflow and far less condensation on tools and materials.
Specs, pricing, and the details that matter depending on what you are working on.
Service area, delivery and pickup charges, relocation between sites, and how fast we can get a box on the ground around the metro.
Security hardware, placement strategy, moving the unit between phases, and how upgrades affect what you pay.
Full dimensions, door opening, cubic capacity, empty weight, and what a 20 costs to rent or buy.
Standard versus high cube compared side by side, full spec table, and the extra room you get from a one-trip unit.
Office configurations, HVAC and electrical, customization options, and what installing one on a commercial site involves.
One-trip and used units for sale, condition grades explained, what to inspect, and how purchase pricing works.
Local, family-owned, and run by people who built two of the national companies you have probably rented from.
Find a lower qualifying rate on the same product and we will match it, so your project margin stays intact.
The rate on your quote is the rate you pay, with no fuel surcharges, property fees, or excise taxes bolted on.
One point of contact, decisions made locally, and more than 30 years of container experience behind the answer.
Keep the conex as long as the job runs. Billing is four-week cycles with no minimum and no early return penalty.
Everything below covers what a conex rental actually costs, how the terms and billing work, what delivery takes on a live site, and how to tell one provider from another. If you are comparing options in Indiana, this is the detail most quotes leave out.
A “conex” is just jobsite shorthand for a steel shipping container, and renting one in Indiana is far more affordable than most first-time buyers assume. For commercial use, a conex box rental in one-trip, near-new condition generally runs from roughly $150 to $200 per four-week billing cycle, depending on the size and configuration you choose. A standard 20 ft storage unit sits at the lower end of that range, while a 40 ft unit and a tunnel-door 40 ft with doors on both ends land a little higher.
Size is the biggest single factor in the base rate. A 20 ft box gives you around 1,170 cubic feet of secure space, plenty for hand tools, small equipment, and staged materials, while a 40 ft roughly doubles that footprint for larger inventory or full drive-through access. Office and combo units cost more because you are paying for climate control, power, and finished interiors, not just steel walls. That is also why renting tends to beat buying for project-based work: when the timeline is temporary or the container may need to move to the next site, a predictable cycle rate keeps budgeting simple.
One distinction is worth understanding. Every unit we rent is a one-trip container, meaning it has made a single ocean voyage and arrives in clean, uniform, ready-to-use condition. That matters on a customer-facing site where an aging, rusted box sends the wrong message. Some buyers search for conex container rentals by owner hoping to skip listing services and rent straight from the company that owns and maintains the fleet. That is exactly how we operate, so you always know who answers the phone and who stands behind the container.
The base rate is only part of the picture, so it helps to see every piece that shows up on an invoice before you sign anything. A conex container rental cost per month breaks down into three parts: the recurring rate for the container itself, one-time delivery and pickup charges, and proof of insurance.
Notice what is missing from that list. There are no fuel surcharges, no property fees, and no excise taxes, which means the conex box rental price on your quote is the number you will see on your invoice. That is the whole point of no-fees pricing: the math is done before you commit, not after.
Billing itself runs in 28-day periods rather than calendar months, which works out to 13 cycles a year instead of 12. Because of that, you will occasionally see two invoices land in the same calendar month. That is normal, not an error, and once you understand the rhythm it is easy to plan around. The order sequence is just as simple: we quote first, you accept, and only then do we schedule delivery, which on most local orders happens very fast.
The short version is that you keep the container as long as the job needs it, and you are never locked into a fixed term. Our no rental term policy means billing simply continues in four-week cycles until you call for pickup, with no minimum commitment and no early return penalty waiting to catch you at the end. That flexibility is a real difference from the national chains, many of which write a minimum lease term into the agreement and charge you if the project wraps early.
Size drives the base rate more than anything else. A 20 ft unit costs less per cycle than a 40 ft unit because you are renting less steel and less floor space. Which one fits depends on the work. Crews staging a steady flow of smaller materials often do fine with the 20 ft, while teams handling long stock, bulk inventory, or drive-through loading lean toward the larger footprint. If you want the full dimensions, weights, and door openings before you decide, the 20 ft conex rental and 40 ft conex rental breakdowns lay out the specs side by side.
Duration matters in a quieter way. There is no published rate ladder, but longer commitments, large multi-unit orders, and repeat commercial business can open the door to case-by-case pricing. Nothing about that is automatic or advertised, so the honest way to find out is to ask when you request a quote.
Because every unit in our rental fleet is one-trip and near-new, you are not gambling on condition either. There is no bin of tired, dented used boxes to sort through on the rental side, so what you reserve is what shows up. Buyers comparing conex rentals across a few vendors sometimes assume the cheapest listing wins, but once you factor in condition, term flexibility, and whether the rate holds steady, the picture usually shifts.
Delivery follows a clear order every time, and it never runs backward:
That sequence protects you. You never pay before you know the total, and you are never left wondering when a container will show up.
A tilt-bed delivery needs straight-line backing room, so site access is worth checking before order day.
Site prep is where a smooth delivery is won or lost, so it pays to check a few things before the truck arrives. A standard tilt-bed truck sets the container by sliding it off the back, which takes room to maneuver:
Because ground-level delivery needs no ramp, steps, or decking, your crew can walk or dolly straight in the moment the truck pulls away. When the job wraps, one call schedules pickup, and since the pickup charge was locked in at order, there is no surprise adjustment at the end. If your work is concentrated in the metro, our conex container rental Indianapolis coverage and jobsite conex container rental details get more specific about local placement and logistics.
Security is the reason most crews rent a conex in the first place, and the base unit is built for it. Every storage container we rent is made of corten steel, the same weathering steel used for ocean shipping, with a hardwood floor and double cargo doors that seal against the weather. Standard on the 20 ft and 40 ft storage units is a welded lock box, a steel housing that shrouds the padlock so bolt cutters and pry bars cannot reach the shackle. Combined with a solid lock, that setup turns a container into one of the toughest things to break into on any site.
The welded lock box shields the padlock shackle, which is what stops bolt cutters.
With no windows on a storage unit and no mechanical systems to fail, there is also very little to maintain over a long rental. If you would rather not source hardware yourself, a lock rental adds a heavy-duty padlock to the order, and the Loss Damage Waiver service gives you added peace of mind against damage to the unit while it is in your care. Both are options you choose, not defaults we push.
Suitability is not only about storage, though. When the job needs a place to run a meeting, review drawings, or get a supervisor out of the weather, a container office delivers finished workspace at ground level with no steps or decking to install. Those units come with climate control, LED lighting and standard outlets, finished interior walls, and a built-in desk with windows, with larger 40 ft layouts adding length and a second entry door. Because the office ships as a solid steel box, it locks up as securely as a storage unit at the end of the day, which a canvas-sided or thin-walled trailer cannot match. The full layout and feature list lives on the conex office container page.
Sometimes, yes, though it is worth being straight about how that works. There is no loyalty program, no rewards points, and no advertised repeat-renter rate, because dressing up a discount as a “program” tends to hide more than it reveals. What actually happens is simpler: large multi-unit orders, ongoing commercial accounts, and very long projects can qualify for case-by-case pricing, handled directly when you request or renew a quote.
Because it is discretionary, the honest move is just to ask. If you are running a two-year site or reserving several units at once, mention it up front and we will tell you where the numbers can go. That keeps the conversation real instead of burying a “deal” behind fine print.
Low price guarantee: bring us a qualifying competitor quote for the exact same product and we match it.
Like for like: one-trip against one-trip and used against used, never across different products.
The upshot is that longer commitments can absolutely earn a better rate, but only as a straightforward, spoken-for adjustment rather than a gimmick. Contractors weighing a multi-phase build usually find that a fixed rate with no surprise charges beats a headline discount every time.
When you strip away the marketing, choosing among conex container rentals really comes down to a handful of questions that predict how the whole experience will go.
Start with the invoice. Does the quote show every cost, or does it leave room for fuel surcharges, property fees, and excise taxes to appear later? A rate that looks a few dollars cheaper up front can end up 20 to 40 percent higher once those add-ons stack up, so ask a provider to break out delivery, insurance, and any surcharges before you compare anything. No-fees pricing exists precisely so that the quote and the invoice match.
Container condition is its own factor. Confirm whether you are getting a one-trip unit in near-new shape or a used box that may show years of wear. On the rental side, every unit we place is one-trip, so appearance and function stay consistent. If a permanent, lower-budget option makes more sense than renting, a used conex box for sale can be the smarter buy, and knowing the difference keeps you from overpaying either way.
Finally, consider who is behind the company. We are local and family-owned, with more than 30 years in this industry and roots that run straight through the national brands you already know. Our founder co-founded a container company here in Indianapolis in 1993, grew it past 10,000 units, and later built a second business that a national competitor acquired. The company itself is new, but the people running it have placed a lot of steel on a lot of sites. Pair that with a fully digital ordering and billing portal, where you can price a unit, sign a quote, and track invoices without phone tag, and the day-to-day just runs smoother from the first quote to the final pickup.
One note on who we rent to: conex rentals are for commercial customers, so contractors, industrial teams, retail groups, and facilities managers. If you are a homeowner looking for moving or household storage, PODS or UNITS will serve you better, though we are glad to sell a used container outright if you want permanent storage on your own property.
