How Much Does Portable Storage Cost in NH?
Here’s the short answer. A MI-BOX of New Hampshire container rents for $139 a month for 8 ft, $169 a month for 16 ft and $249 a month for 20 ft. That’s the monthly rate for the container itself, whether it sits in your driveway or in our secure yard in Tilton. Delivery and pickup are quoted separately for your address, because a drop in Tilton or Laconia is a different trip from one out to Claremont.

MI-BOX Rental Prices by Container Size
| Container size | Monthly rate | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 8 ft | $139 per month | A room or two, a small apartment, a staging clear-out or seasonal gear |
| 16 ft | $169 per month | The most common choice, roughly a two to three bedroom house |
| 20 ft | $249 per month | Our largest size, for a full house or a jobsite that needs real capacity |
Rentals are month to month, with no long-term contract. Delivery and pickup are quoted by location. These rates apply across our Central, Southern and Western New Hampshire service area. The Seacoast is served by a separate MI-BOX franchise with its own pricing.

What the Monthly Rate Includes
- The container itself: weatherproof steel with a locking door.
- Ground-level loading, with no ramp and no lifting boxes into a truck.
- Storage on your property for as long as you keep it, or at our Tilton facility if you’d rather not have it in the driveway.
- Month-to-month terms, so you stop paying when you’re done instead of at the end of a contract.
What Affects the Cost of Portable Storage
The monthly container rate is fixed. These are the things that change your total:
- Distance from Tilton. Delivery and pickup are priced by where you are relative to our yard at 405 Laconia Road. Closer towns cost less to serve, and we price them that way.
- How long you keep it. Billing runs in monthly increments, so a six-week project is billed as two months.
- Whether it moves. Keeping a container in your driveway costs less than having us move it to a new address.
- On-site or at our yard. Storing the container at our Tilton facility instead of on your property changes the handling involved.
- Placement. Most driveways are simple. A tight approach, a steep grade or a soft surface sometimes needs a conversation before delivery.
- Size. Picking the right size up front helps you avoid paying for a second container or for space you don’t use.
If you’re looking for cheap portable storage in NH, the honest answer is that the monthly rate is only part of the cost. The rest is delivery and pickup. That’s why we quote by address instead of advertising one number that only really applies to people near Tilton.
Portable Storage vs Self Storage Cost
A self storage unit often looks cheaper on the monthly line, but the monthly line isn’t the whole cost. With a self storage unit, you also rent a truck, pay for fuel and handle everything twice: once into the truck and once into the unit. When you move out, you do it all again in reverse.
A portable storage container is loaded once, at ground level, in your own driveway, on your own schedule. When you compare the two honestly, the truck rental and the extra handling usually decide it. For a fuller comparison, see portable storage vs self storage in NH and portable storage vs U-Haul truck rental.
How to Keep Your Storage Cost Down
- Choose the right size. The 16 ft is the most common by a wide margin. Use the calculator before you book.
- Plan your timeline. Because billing is monthly, it helps to know whether your project will fit inside one month or run into a second.
- Keep it on-site if you can. Storing in your driveway avoids the cost of moving the container.
- Tell us about your driveway. Mentioning a steep grade or soft ground when you book helps avoid surprises on delivery day.
- Book early in busy seasons. In the Lakes Region, late spring and fall fill up fast. See portable storage in the Lakes Region.
