Porta-Stor is committed to serving its customers by offering many different storage container sizes for your storage needs at competitive rental rates with free delivery and removal and tax free.

Most Porta-Stor containers are equipped with movable pipe racks for making shelves or storing long items such as pipe or finish material. Our rack system is optional and available free of charge. Choose from a half set (racks on one side of the container) or a full set (racks on both sides of the container). The racks are three tiered.
Porta-Stor wants to give their customers a perk that is rare in the storage container business by offering FREE Delivery and FREE Removal on all our storage containers. This applies to all customers that reside in our Service Areas. Sharp angled driveway? Low branch or overhang?

What a fantastic Company. Berenice was super efficient and super polite. The truck driver Enrique was a complete gentleman and an expert driver to the maximum degree. I would recommend this portable storage container company to all. Great prices, great service, Great value for your dollar for sure. The storage container is clean and looks great. My name is Walter Tribe in Sylmar CA and they do not charge for delivery and they do not charge for picking up the storage container as well. Awesome. Have a great day to all.

Our church, in Simi Valley, needed to buy a used 40 foot container. Their prices were as good as anyone's and they delivered free. I went to their yard out on the backside of Ventura and picked one out. Before they delivered it they called me and said they had a better one that they were picking up in San Pedro. If I wanted it they could bring it straight from SP to Simi for the same price as the one I had picked out. They sent me pictures from SP and it was in great shape. We are very happy with Porta-Stor and will work with them again if need be.

I felt compelled to go out of my way to write a review of this business. They were professional, punctual and always very pleasant to deal with. Informing me as they were on their way with reminder calls. The price you can't beat. We used for remodel. But this detail blew my mind. They accidentally cracked a tile on my driveway which is easy to do given the location the bin was set to be put.
I didn't even get a chance to call them to let them know. I came home to a work truck with two guys fixing my tile. Crazy thing is that our tile is nowhere to be found as they don't make it anymore! It's hacienda tile from Mexico. Arturo who works for Porta Stor is such a stand up guy that he called in a friend who happened to have this tile at his house stored fir 10 years.
I was blown away! He even swept my leaves left from the storage container while his guy recemented new tiles. It's rare to have such incredible service and honorability like this in a business. Taking care of a detail on their own without being notified. I'm so impressed! We were pleased with the experience all around! Thank you Arturo! You're the bomb!

Amazing customer service - I had to order a container in a hurry, and was able to secure next day delivery with the help of the lovely agent that I spoke to. No delivery or pick up fee, and they offered the lowest monthly rentals I could find. Delivery guy was wonderful - I needed the container in a very awkward place on a rough, burned-out lot, and he helped me clear the way for his truck and he put the container in the perfect spot. The container is pristine and looks brand new. Nothing negative to say about these guys - really impressed. Thank you!

I needed a pod quickly & knew about the other 2 places that rented pods so called & got quotes. Boy, talk about ridiculously expensive! My mom found this place on-line & so grateful she did! From the moment I called they were helpful & accommodating but the even better part is they were only 1/4 of what the other 2 places charge PLUS they don't charge for delivery or pick-up! EVERYONE I dealt with was so nice & professional.
Even the driver was fantastic - the pod wasn't going into an easy spot but their driver got it backed in there & did it perfectly! He even put the trash barrels back where they we're to begin with. Like I said, nice & professional. If you choose some place besides Port a Stor, you deserve what you get!

I was in the middle of a remodel when I began researching storage options. Every competitor was triple porta stor and also charged for delivery & pick up. I called porta-stor and they happily answered all my questions. Customer service was top notch from my initial call to delivery of the storage container. Everyone was considerate of my needs and of my property when delivered.
They were the best price $65.00 for a 12 X 8 X 8 plus free delivery & pick up. They are locally owned which made it a no brainer for me. I would highly recommend porta stor for any and all your storage needs

Family owned local Ventura County Company. I called several shipping container companies for pricing and information and many are from out of the area. This business is locally owned and competitively priced. They took their time and met with my husband and I on several occasions to show us used 40 footers until we found one that we were satisfied with.charged exactly what they quoted and delivered quickly and easily. Definitely be back to buy another. Give them consideration when looking.

I have yet to actually get a storage unit delivered but just the actual major difference I found from just calling to get information has impressed me so much I felt that alone deserved the attention and I have decided to use this company for my storage needs. The first big difference was the price in comparison to EVERY other company was more than 75% less and for twice as long on the rental (2 months).There was no extra fee for delivery and pickup they had sizes larger than 16 feet in fact they went to 20 and 26 feet.
I had spent a whole day shopping all the other well known companies and was discouraged by the expense. Not one place had a quote under $750 for a smaller size on a one month rental with one relocate trip (2/3 of that was just to move the container). Porta-stor only added $50 to relocate which still added up to about the same as renting a Uhaul for two days (with miles and gas )They even made the effort to get it delivered today even though I was fine if it took a couple of days. I Am extremely hopeful the actual service will be just as positive. I will edit and add the outcome. But just on first look A+++

I had used this company before with OK results so I called them this morning. What a pleasure to find they have gotten even better. I spoke with Candace and she was busy but took time for me, her customer service skills were GREAT! Got a nice clean unit even sooner than I expected, and the price was half what others wanted. The Driver spotted the unit perfectly where I wanted it without any problem and spent the extra time to make sure it was right. Just a great experience, Thanks!

Never used this company, so I do not know how great the storage units are and unfortunately I will never know, because the customer service was horrible. The one time I called for information, the person I spoke to said 10-15 words throughout our entire conversation. When I asked a question, some responses were simply a NO, then silence. I was a little lost with information, so I just said thank you and hung up. Extremely disappointed.

My experience (so far, they only dropped off. Still need to move it and pick it up, I will update if my opinion changes.) I have to say I was a little concerned because they were so inexpensive. But so far, wow, they have been fantastic. Everybody has been super friendly and helpful. Paula who took the reservation was super friendly, even though I called three different times with a lot of questions.
I also spoke to Wendy and she was very nice and helpful. And lastly, Matt the gentleman who dropped off the container could not have been nicer and more helpful. He really rocked. I was very worried about my driveway and he was so careful and thoughtful of my property, it was very refreshing to have someone who actually cared. I have nothing bad to say. Also, they are not even 1/2 the price of the other storage pod companies. I will certainly recommend them to anyone. Thank you Porta-Stor!

My wife and I recently did a project at our home and needed the services of a storage container. Secure, safe, clean inside & out was a must as well as portable. With the local or out of town choices we could choose from Porta-Stor shined for us. 1: Customer service was great, 2: Free pick up and delivery, 3: On time delivery as well as pick up, 4: Driver was very skilled, and thoughtful of our property, 5: Secure, Plus they were the best price around. All in all that's how they got a 5 star from us. Thank you Matt for your service and teams attention to details.

Fantastic service and BEST Price around! I looked around for some 40' containers for some time and spoke with a number of different companies without any success. When I spoke with Matt from Porta Stor I knew they were the company. Matt came out to my place the day we spoke and assured me they would be able to put the containers in a tight area. Matt delivered and installed the containers in a couple of hours.
I can't tell you how much Matt's pride in his workmanship shows. He commented that since his name is on the product he wanted to do the best possible job. I find it quite rare to deal with companies who truly take pride in their work? I cannot recommend Matt highly enough. I definitely recommend Porta Stor! Thanks Matt!

Our non-profit has been using Porta-Stor as our storage bin provider for a few years now. Their prices are reasonable. Recently, we decided to add another storage bin to our site. As much as I would love to give them 5-stars, their customer service needs much improvement. The couple of times I spoke with staff over the phone, I felt rushed and it did not fail for staff to be unhelpful with short vague answers.
One would think, since we are paying a pretty penny for the bin, we can at the very minimum be provide with basic good customer service. that did not happen. I am disappointed.
