Easy, Secure, and Cost Effective
Boyd’s rental containers offers homeowners a third option for DIY moving that costs less than a full service move but doesn’t require the ability to drive a large truck. It also allows you to move at your own pace, without turning your home into a sea of boxes.
For business owners, containers provide temporary or long term extra storage where and when it’s needed.
We’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about our container service!
* Sorry, we don’t have containers for sale at this time.
** We don’t recommend using DIY containers for long distance / overseas moving. Items need to professionally packed to endure the rough ride. You can use your container for moving anywhere in the Ottawa area. For moves outside the Ottawa area, we offer a similar solution through United Van Lines.
