What locals say
Flint container rental FAQ
How fast can you deliver?
Same‑week is common. If you have a hard deadline, call and we’ll check availability.
What ground works best?
Level asphalt, concrete, or compacted gravel. Blocks or ties improve drainage.
Do I need a permit?
Temporary placements often don’t, but some locations do. We’ll point you to the right city contact.
Can I add shelves or power?
Yes. We provide shelving, lighting, and simple power options.
Will a 20‑ft be big enough?
Great for tools and small equipment. For pallets or tall gear, choose a 40‑ft or high‑cube.
How secure are the doors?
Heavy steel doors with tamper‑resistant lock boxes. Add a cross‑bar lock for max deterrence.
Do you serve nearby suburbs?
Yes. We cover the townships and cities listed above and more.
Multi‑unit discounts?
Yes. Fleet and multi‑site projects qualify for bundled rates.
