What's the difference between mobile storage and self-storage?
With mobile storage (also referred to as portable storage), the storage unit is delivered to your home or business. You then load the unit at your pace after which it is picked up by the mobile storage company and stored within their local storage facility. This is in contrast to traditional self-storage companies that instead rents space within their facilities to customers. The customer then transports their items to be stored to the self-storage facility and loads them into their rented unit. You'll find both mobile storage and self-storage companies on Storage Quote.
