Clutter piles up fast during a major renovation or a cross-town move. Whether you’re a homeowner staging a property for sale or a business owner running out of inventory space, the need is the same: secure, reliable storage. 

A good portable storage container in Montreal can help protect your belongings while giving you the freedom to load at your own pace.

To help you skip the usual moving and logistics headaches, I researched top local rental options. Here’s what you need to know!

Logistics Type	Size / Service	Estimated Cost (CAD)
Fixed Indoor Self-Storage — comparison option, not a delivered container	5 × 5 ft to 10 × 20 ft	$69–$389+ per month

How I Reviewed

1. ATS Containers

Website: https://www.atscontainers.com/
Address: 5007 Rue Irwin, LaSalle
Contact: (514) 846-0270 | 1-866-846-0270 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM office hours; receiving hours, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM. Office closed Saturday–Sunday. 

Contractors and business owners often need specialized equipment. ATS Containers deliver with side-access and insulated rentals so you aren’t stuck with a standard end-door box. 

They carry 10-, 20-, and 40-foot units, plus options with doors at both ends so you can grab tools without unloading everything first. 

They also offer refrigerated models for temperature-sensitive goods. 

Just keep in mind that extra security lock boxes and ventilation are paid add-ons rather than standard inclusions, so be sure to specify them during your order and verify your final quote.

Also, their standard heavy-truck drop-offs require a huge amount of straight-line space: at least 65 feet for a 20-foot container and 110 feet for a 40-foot unit. 

If your job site doesn’t have that kind of room, you’ll need to arrange custom transport or look at a more compact setup.

“the after sales service was exceptional”
ATS has all your storage needs covered 100% with great prices and a wide selection to choose from, both new and used. They offer a selection of modifications to fit your needs as well as offering customized containers. The sales rep (Stefania) was super friendly and helpful which made communication a breeze. Along with speedy service, (which is hard to come by these days) the after sales service was exceptional to say the least 👌🏽…

2. GoCube

Website: https://gocube.com/
Address: 9301 Rue Colbert 
Contact: 514-738-6843 | 1-866-GoCube-1 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM; Saturday, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM; Sunday, Closed. 

Urban living often means narrow streets, making GoCube’s compact modular storage cubes a smart pick for tight properties. Instead of paying for a large, half-empty box, you can add extra cubes as your needs grow. 

I used them while renovating my kitchen last summer, and their 5×8-foot footprint fit easily in my driveway.

Their full-side opening makes loading bulky furniture far easier than squeezing items through a standard end door. They also operate year-round and handle deliveries even in severe winter weather.

The main detail to keep in mind is how off-site storage works. If you choose to have your loaded cube stored at their facility rather than kept on your property, accessing your belongings requires 48 hours’ notice during business hours. 

This setup works great for long-term storage, but it isn’t ideal if you need spontaneous, daily access to individual items.

Customer Reviews

“really efficient especially in mtl”
Used the storage for 3 months and got the delivery. Very good customer service, good pricing and the delivery guy was incredibly helpful. The cube system is really efficient especially in mtl, he dropped the cube on the boardwalk in front of my building which made it much more convenient.

“impressed from the very first contact”
A service I was initially unfamiliar with. I sold my house and won’t have my new one for a few weeks. While shopping around, I discovered this product! Wow! And I was impressed from the very first contact. They advised me on the number of cubes and suggested different layouts. Delivery was a week early to allow me time to change my plans. Pickup was easy and efficient. They stored everything for the next few weeks until delivery to my new address! All at a very affordable price! Surprisingly so! I highly recommend it!!!

3. Conteneurs KJS Containers Inc.

Website: https://kjsinc.ca/
Address: 2360 Rue Notre-Dame O, Suite 312
Contact: (514) 800-7876 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM; Saturday–Sunday, Closed. 

Securing temporary space shouldn’t require heavy upfront commitments. That’s why  Conteneurs KJS Containers Inc.’s flexible weekly and monthly rentals with no deposit really stood out to me.

Serving both residential and commercial clients across Montreal, the North Shore, and the South Shore, they handle all transport and placement details for you.

Their fleet centers on standard 20-foot and 40-foot steel containers, which are available as brand-new one-trip units or budget-friendly used models. If you need extra vertical headroom for tall equipment, they also offer 9’6″ high-cube formats.

The main limitation to keep in mind is sizing. Because their inventory focuses strictly on full-scale 20ft and 40ft footprints, they don’t carry mini 5×8 or 6-foot cubes. 

If you only need to store a few boxes or clear out a small apartment, these standard steel units may be more space and cost than you actually require. 

Customer Reviews

“they know what they are doing!”
I had a great experience with conteneur KJS. Great communication and service from Katherine, she would always answer my questions quickly and thoroughly. I also really appreciated the flexibility on the delivery (i had to change the date many times due to issues on my side and it was never a problem for them) + the driver was really experienced and everything went really smoothly although it was a tricky place to back the container. Finally, the container is in great state. Would highly recommend if you consider buying a container, they know what they are doing!

“one of the most amazing owners I’ve had the luxury of dealing with”
Katherine is one of the most amazing owners I’ve had the luxury of dealing with. She’s honest, super caring. And her containers are one of the best qualities I have seen. Highly recommend her in an industry filled with fraud, she is a gem amongst them!

4. PODS Moving & Storage

Website: https://www.pods.com/locations/canada/quebec/montreal
Bonded/Receiving Storage Centre: 2575 Rue Debray, Laval
Contact: 877-770-PODS (7637) | (855) 706-4758
Call Center Hours: Monday–Saturday, 8:00 AM–11:00 PM Eastern Time (ET); Sunday, 9:00 AM–10:00 PM ET
Storage Center Hours: Generally 8:00 AM–3:00 PM, six days a week; Sunday closed. Confirm Montreal Storage Center access before visiting.

Keeping a loaded container level during pickup and delivery takes serious engineering, which is where PODS’ specialized PODZILLA lift system really shines. 

A friend booked them for a cross-town move last fall, and not a single fragile box tipped over during transport.

Their service seamlessly combines storage with door-to-door delivery so you can load and unpack at your own pace. 

You can even keep the unit parked on your driveway or store it at their Laval facility. If you store off-site, you can access your belongings without extra fees, though you will need to align visits with their storage center hours.

Just make sure to plan for delivery clearance. The drop-off system needs a pathway measuring roughly 12 feet wide, 15 feet high, and 40 feet long. 

Fortunately, that 40-foot length requirement can include the street, so a shorter driveway won’t automatically rule you out.

Customer Reviews

“PODS came in CLUTCH for us”
PODS came in CLUTCH for us. We were able to book 2 days in advance and they delivered early AM on the date requested My truck transmission just quit on me last week– so we were really in a pinch. There has been excellent communication and support by customer service, and also from the driver, Ron, who dropped the container at the precise location we asked for. Directions were followed to a T. We are very pleased and definitely highly recommend PODS (Laval) if you’re looking for a storage / moving solution!!!

“he placed my pod where i required like a surgeon”
This is my first experiance with PODS, from the start it has been fantastic and easy to get done. From the amazing service provided by the CS rep Danielle in my order to the very polite delivery driver Sam, who advised me well in advance that he was picking up my unit and the exact time he would arrive at my location. When he arrived, he placed my pod where i required like a surgeon. Thank you very much for your service…

5. Cubeit Portable Storage – Montreal

Website: https://cubeit.ca/quebec/montreal
Areas Served: Portable container delivery throughout Montreal, Quebec
Contact: 855-534-2630 | [email protected]
Hours — Reservation Centre: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST); Saturday, 9:00 AM–7:00 PM EST; Sunday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM EST.

Many people just need reliable protection for their belongings without committing to a permanent warehouse contract. Cubeit Portable Storage delivers on this with 16-foot all-steel containers that provide ample space for furniture and large appliances. 

Their delivery trucks use a horizontal lifting system to keep the container level during loading and unloading, preventing your items from shifting inside.

They also accommodate long-distance moves across Canada, allowing the same container to travel seamlessly to another province. 

If you need help with the heavy lifting, Cubeit can connect you with local labor through MoveBuddy, or you can hire other local moving companies.

The main thing to keep in mind is climate control. Cubeit’s portable containers aren’t heated or climate-controlled, even when they’re stored at one of Cubeit’s off-site facilities. 

If you’re storing delicate items or electronics that require stable climate conditions, you may be better off using a separate indoor, climate-controlled storage facility, including one of the self-storage options available through Cubeit’s partner brands.

Customer Reviews

“customer service was great”
The Cubeit storage container was clean, well maintained, had a secure seal and their customer service was great. Delivery was easy & on time compared to another storage company I used last year. Cubeit has a much more efficient delivery method – the other company takes 20 minutes to drop it in place with tire tracks, whereas Cubeit had it done in under 5 min. Pricing is slightly cheaper based on 4 week billing cycle and Cubeit offers Costco gift cards for extended rental use…

“the delivery and pickup service were top notch”
Container was clean and sealed as promised. My furniture was in the same condition after two months as it was when I moved it in. PLUS, the delivery and pickup service were top notch. Would definitely recommand CubeIT ton anyone looking for temporary storage.
