Room for your belongings while your next move takes shape
Military moves don’t always line up neatly. Maybe your report date is set but your new home isn’t ready yet, or you’re deploying and need a safe place for your furniture and household items while you’re away.
Warehouse Options offers military storage in Colorado Springs with month-to-month container rentals. Whether your next assignment takes you to Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, or the U.S. Air Force Academy, we can help you plan storage around your housing timeline.
Choose a container delivered to an approved location or ask about storing your loaded container at our local facility until you’re ready for it.
Storage for the Gaps in Your PCS Schedule
A permanent change of station rarely lines up perfectly with a lease ending, a home closing, or base housing becoming available. PCS storage gives you somewhere to keep your household belongings while those dates come together.
Between Your Current Home and Your Next Address
If you need to leave your current home before the next one is available, a storage container can hold your furniture and packed boxes during the gap. Keep daily essentials with you, then store the items you won’t need in temporary lodging.
Our moving storage service includes options for local container relocation and facility storage. Tell us both addresses and your expected dates so we can review the logistics before you book.
During a Deployment
If you’re ending a lease before deploying, you may need storage for most of your household. If your family is staying in the home, you may only need room for extra furniture or belongings that would otherwise fill the garage.
Before leaving, decide who will manage the rental, receive updates, and coordinate any access or pickup arrangements on your behalf.
For TDY Assignments
A temporary duty assignment can create a storage need when it overlaps with a lease change or other housing transition. Store the household items you won’t need during your assignment while keeping travel documents, clothing, and other essentials separate.
If your return date changes, contact our team to update your expected storage timeline.
Before Moving Into Base Housing
You may be waiting for a housing assignment or moving into a home with less storage space. A container gives you time to decide what fits, what to keep, and what to donate without crowding your temporary living space.
For delivery to base housing, contact the housing office or property manager first. Placement permission and installation access must be reviewed before delivery is scheduled.
Month-to-Month Rentals for Changing Timelines
PCS dates can shift. Housing availability, closing delays, and updated orders can change how long you need storage.
Warehouse Options’ container rentals are month-to-month, with no long-term contract required. Rent for one month or continue for several months while your plans settle. If you need more time, contact us to extend the rental.
When requesting your quote, share your best estimate of the storage period, even if your move-in date is still uncertain. Ask about billing, pickup notice, delivery charges, and any relocation costs so you can plan the full expense.
Choose a Container for Your Household
The right container depends on your furniture, packed boxes, and extra belongings, as well as the space available for placement.
| Container size | Typical household fit | Standard exterior dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| 20-foot container | Approximately a two-bedroom apartment, or a partial household with furniture and boxes | 20 feet long × 8 feet wide × 8 feet 6 inches high |
| 40-foot container | Approximately a three- to four-bedroom house, depending on furnishings and packing | 40 feet long × 8 feet wide × 8 feet 6 inches high |
These are planning estimates. Large sectionals, appliances, garage equipment, and space left for access can change how much fits. A lightly furnished home may need less room than a smaller home with bulky furniture.
High cube options provide additional height, subject to availability. Share a list of your largest items with our team so we can help you choose a size and check placement requirements.
Delivery Around Colorado Springs Military Communities
Warehouse Options provides container delivery in Colorado Springs and surrounding communities, including Fountain, Security-Widefield, Falcon, and Monument.
We can review storage requests from military households connected to:
- Fort Carson: Families looking for storage in Fountain, Security-Widefield, and southern Colorado Springs.
- Peterson SFB: Households arranging storage in eastern Colorado Springs and nearby communities.
- Schriever SFB: Families planning storage in Falcon and the surrounding eastern area.
- The Air Force Academy: Households looking for storage in northern Colorado Springs and Monument.
Share the exact delivery address so we can check service availability, truck access, and placement.
Our side-loader places containers at ground level. The delivery site needs enough room for the equipment to approach, unload, and return for pickup. Review the proposed surface and clearance with our team, and obtain any required landlord, HOA, housing office, or local approvals.
On-base delivery requires advance coordination. We’ll review the request with you, including access arrangements and the approved receiving location, before confirming whether delivery is feasible.
Plan Your Military Moving Storage
Getting the details settled before loading makes the rest of your move easier.
- Request a quote. Include your address, approximate household size, delivery date, and expected rental period.
- Review placement or facility storage. Decide where the container will stay and confirm any required permissions.
- Schedule delivery and pack. Label boxes by room and keep documents, medication, uniforms, and travel essentials with you.
- Update us when your plans change. Coordinate an extension, local relocation, or pickup as your housing timeline becomes clearer.

Military and PCS Storage FAQs
Can I use a container during a DITY or PPM move?
A container may be useful during a Personally Procured Move, commonly called a DITY move. Before booking, speak with your installation transportation office about authorization, eligible storage expenses, and required documentation. Keep your rental agreement and receipts. Reimbursement depends on your orders and approved entitlements.
How long can I rent a storage container?
Rentals are month-to-month. You can rent for one month or keep the container longer for a housing delay, deployment, or extended transition. Contact us if you need to extend your rental and confirm pickup notice requirements when you’re ready to finish.
Can you deliver to base housing?
Contact us with the installation, housing address, and proposed placement location. Delivery depends on housing approval, installation access, equipment clearance, and our review of the site. Please coordinate with your housing office before scheduling.
What if I don’t have a driveway or approved place for a container?
Ask about storing your loaded container at our local facility. Our moving storage service offers facility storage when your next home is not ready. We’ll review availability and the delivery and transfer arrangements with you.
Can you move the loaded container to my new home?
Warehouse Options offers loaded-container relocation in the Colorado Springs area. Provide the pickup and destination addresses so we can review access and quote the move. For a destination outside the local area, ask us to confirm transportation options before booking.
