Hiring vs Buying a Container
Not sure whether to hire or buy? Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide.
Hiring a Container
Hiring is the flexible, low-commitment option. You pay a straightforward weekly or monthly fee, and when you no longer need the container, we simply collect it. There are no large upfront costs, making it ideal if you need extra storage or workspace for a short period, or if you’d prefer to keep your cash flow free.
Hiring works well for:
Construction sites needing temporary on-site storage
Seasonal stock overflow or event storage
Home renovations and moves
Anyone who wants flexibility without a long-term commitment
Buying a Container
Buying gives you a permanent asset that you own outright. It’s a cost-effective long-term solution, particularly if you need a container indefinitely, want to modify it extensively, or are planning a conversion project such as a site office, pop-up unit or home gym.
Buying works well for:
Long-term storage needs
Businesses wanting a permanent on-site unit
Container conversion projects
Anyone who wants a one-off investment with no ongoing costs

-
Do I need planning permission for a shipping container?
In a lot of cases, you won’t need planning permission for shipping containers as they’re classed as a temporary structure. However, this can vary by location, so it’s always advisable to check with your local planning authority.
-
Are the containers new or used?
We stock both new and used shipping containers for hire and sale. Our new containers are ‘one-trip’, meaning they’ve served just one journey from their place of manufacture. These are in near pristine condition. Our used containers may show a few superficial marks, but are always structurally sound and well maintained.
-
Can containers be modified?
Our containers for sale can be customised with a wide range of features, including your choice of colour, windows, doors, electrics and heating. Whether you’re planning to use your container as a pop-up retail unit, home gym or site office, we can ensure it’s ready to go as soon as it’s delivered.
-
What condition can I expect a used container to be in?
At THS Containers, we only stock containers in excellent condition. Even our used containers are in outstanding condition and are well maintained and ready for any application.
-
Do you offer nationwide delivery?
We do. Our in-house fleet can deliver your container to any location across the UK, provided there is suitable access and an installation area with a level, stable surface.
-
How long can I hire a container for?
Our shipping containers for hire are available for any period. Whether you need a short-term rental or a long-term storage solution, our rental plans are completely flexible based on your needs.
-
Can containers be used for storage?
Absolutely. In fact, storage is the primary application for our rental containers. They’re perfect for safely storing tools, materials, equipment, stock, documents, furniture, personal items and more.
