Moving is stressful enough without scrambling to figure out where your furniture goes between homes. A portable moving storage container, delivered to your driveway and ready when you are, takes the pressure off.
Warehouse Options provides storage container rentals that let Colorado Springs homeowners and renters pack on their own time. No truck rental. No repeat trips across town. Just a steel container at your door with ground-level access.
How Portable Moving Storage Works
Renting a moving storage container from Warehouse Options is a four-step process.
- Pick your container size. A 20-foot shipping container works for one-to-three bedroom moves. A 40-foot shipping container fits larger homes and full households. Both hold much more than the small pods most rivals offer.
- Schedule delivery. We bring the container to your property on a day that works for you. Our side-loader truck places it at ground level in your driveway or yard. No ramps needed, no climbing into a raised trailer.
- Pack at your own pace. Take a weekend. Take a month. Our month-to-month leases mean there is no deadline pressure. Load your belongings on your schedule, and access the container 24/7.
- We pick it up when you are done. Once you have finished loading, call us. We will retrieve the container or relocate it to your new address in the Colorado Springs area. If your new home is not ready yet, we can store your container at our secure facility on Marksheffel Road.
Why Homeowners Choose Container Storage Over Traditional Options
Most people default to renting a self-storage unit when they move. That choice creates hidden problems. You need a truck to haul things back and forth. You load and unload your belongings multiple times. You drive across town whenever you need to grab a box.
A portable storage container for moving eliminates all of that.
One load, one unload
You pack the container once at your current home. When it arrives at your new home, you unload once. Your furniture and boxes stay protected inside the same container for the entire move, which reduces the risk of damage.
No truck rental required
With a self-storage unit, you rent a truck, fill it, drive to the facility, and unload. Then you repeat that process in reverse at your new place. A residential moving container in your driveway cuts all of that. We handle the transport.
Flexible timing for off-sync closings
Selling your home before the new one is ready? A temporary storage container during a move solves the gap. Keep your belongings in the container on-site or at our facility until your closing date arrives. No long-term storage contract needed.
Steel construction built for Colorado weather
Our containers are built from corrugated steel. This is the same material used in global shipping. They handle wind, rain, snow, and big temperature swings. Your belongings stay dry and safe through every Front Range season.
Choosing the Right Container Size for Your Move
Warehouse Options offers two container sizes for home moves. Both are wider and longer than the pods and mini-units most rivals rent.
20-Foot Container
- Dimensions: 8 feet wide, 8.6 feet tall, 20 feet long
- Capacity: Roughly 1,170 cubic feet
- Best for: One-to-three bedroom apartments and smaller homes, partial moves, staging storage while selling a home
A 20-foot container typically holds the contents of a two-bedroom apartment with room to spare. It fits in a standard driveway and takes up about the same space as a large SUV.
40-Foot Container
- Dimensions: 8 feet wide, 8.6 feet tall, 40 feet long
- Capacity: Roughly 2,390 cubic feet
- Best for: Three-to-five bedroom homes, full household relocations, families with garages or basements full of stored items
A 40-foot container handles a full household. For large moves, one 40-foot unit often replaces two or three smaller pods from other companies. Fewer deliveries, lower total cost.

Moving Storage for Common Relocation Scenarios
PCS moves and military relocations
Colorado Springs is home to Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, and the U.S. Air Force Academy. Military families often face tight, shifting timelines during a PCS move. A portable storage container rental for moving gives you a buffer between your report date and your housing move-in.
Downsizing to a smaller home
Moving from a larger home to a smaller one? You may need time to sort, donate, and decide what stays. A container in your driveway lets you handle the shift without rushing.
Home staging for a faster sale
Real estate agents say decluttering helps sell a home faster. Move extra furniture and personal items into a container at your property. Your home stays show-ready while your belongings stay close.
New construction delays
Building a new home in Colorado Springs? Delays happen. Permits, weather, and material shortages can push your move-in date. A month-to-month container lease lets you store your items as long as the build takes. No penalty for schedule changes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving Storage
How long can I keep a moving storage container?
As long as you need it. Our leases are month-to-month. Keep it for two weeks during a quick move, or several months while a new home is under construction. There is no long-term commitment.
Can you place a container in my driveway?
Yes. Our side-loader truck sets the container at ground level. The unit is heavy even when empty, so we need a signed Driveway Delivery Release. Most driveways in Colorado Springs fit a 20-foot container.
What if my new home is not ready yet?
We store your loaded container at our secure yard on Marksheffel Road in east Colorado Springs. Keep it there until you are ready. You can also leave the container at your current home and call us when you want it moved.
Is a 20-foot container big enough for my move?
A 20-foot container holds the contents of most two-bedroom homes. For three or more bedrooms, a 40-foot container is a better fit. Contact us and we will help you choose.
How does pricing work?
Pricing depends on container size and rental duration. We offer transparent rates with no hidden fees. Request a free quote for your specific situation.
Are my belongings insured while in the container?
We do not load or handle your items, so we cannot cover their condition. We do partner with Storage Protectors to offer insurance for portable storage. Contact us for details.
What makes Warehouse Options different from PODS or other portable storage companies?
Our containers are full-size steel shipping units, 20 and 40 feet long. Most rivals offer smaller units between 8 and 16 feet. You get more space per container, which often means you rent fewer units. We are also a locally owned Colorado Springs business with over 30 years in the storage industry. We are not a franchise.
