UNITS® vs. U-Haul®

When it comes to moving or storage, UNITS® of Colorado Springs blows U-Haul® out of the water—and here’s why. We’re not just a big brand with a local outpost. We’re actually locally owned and operated, which means when you call us, you’re talking to real people from right here in Colorado Springs—not a random call center across the country. Our team knows the area, understands your needs, and is ready to help you every step of the way.

Unlike U-Haul®, which typically gives you a truck and a tight schedule, UNITS® of Colorado Springs offers portable storage containers that give you the freedom to move and pack at your own pace. No stressful time crunches, no double-booked trucks, and no last-minute surprises. Whether you’re relocating your home, renovating, or managing a business project, we’ve got the flexibility and reliability you need.

One of the biggest game-changers? Our exclusive ROBO-UNIT delivery system. This high-tech setup allows us to place your portable storage container exactly where you want it—tight driveway, sloped yard, or even during bad weather. It keeps your container level during loading and unloading, so everything inside stays safe and steady. Try getting that kind of precision with a standard U-Haul® truck.

Need somewhere to store your things long-term? We’ve got that covered too. UNITS® of Colorado Springs offers a clean, secure, climate-controlled storage facility right here in town. Whether you’re storing extra inventory, staging a home, or just need a place to keep your things while in between moves, your items will be safe from moisture, pests, and extreme temperatures. It’s a great option if you’re not quite ready to unload everything at once.

Our containers are built tough, made from all steel with barn-style doors that give you more room and easier access. Whether you’re a homeowner, a contractor, a realtor, or a small business owner, our portable storage containers make life easier. U-Haul® U-Box containers are smaller, less secure, and less weather-resistant than UNITS® containers. Our containers provide the convenient storage you need, all while really keeping your things safe, whether onsite or in our climate-controlled storage warehouse.

At the end of the day, UNITS® of Colorado Springs gives you the local service, flexible options, and smart technology that U-Haul® just can’t match. Give us a call and experience a better way to move and store—on your schedule, with support you can count on. And don’t just take our word for it—check out our glowing Google reviews!

UNITS vs U-Haul


The Best Local Customer Service

Our locally owned and operated team at UNITS® of Colorado Springs truly cares about our community—and it shows in everything we do. When you call us, you’ll speak with real people from right here in Colorado Springs, not some faraway call center. We take the time to understand your unique needs and provide personalized service that big national chains just can’t match. We’re neighbors helping neighbors, and we love making your move or storage experience as smooth as possible. Try getting that level of care from a U-Haul® rep on the other side of the country.

Pricing

At UNITS® of Colorado Springs, we’re proud to offer competitive, transparent pricing that often beats U-Haul®. No surprise charges. No extra fees hiding in the fine print. Just fair, honest rates from a team that values your trust. Don’t just take our word for it—get a quote from us, compare it to U-Haul®, and see the difference for yourself. We’re confident you’ll find our pricing more affordable and our service a whole lot friendlier.

All Steel Construction

UNITS® portable storage containers are built like tanks. We use all steel—frames, walls, and doors—so you won’t need to worry about the elements. These containers are made to withstand rain, snow, hail, and wind, without the need for tarps or patch jobs. U-Haul® containers, on the other hand, rely on wood, staples, and adhesives. At UNITS® of Colorado Springs, we offer storage solutions that are as rugged and dependable as the Rocky Mountains.

More Interior Space and Capacity

Our containers are designed to maximize usable space. Thanks to our wide barn-style doors, even our smaller 12’ container holds more cubic footage than U-Haul®’s comparable model—up to 511 extra cubic feet, in fact. And our 16’ container? It can hold up to four times more by weight than the same size U-Haul® version. With UNITS® of Colorado Springs, you get more room to pack, store, and move without having to compromise.

ETRACK™ Securing System

Our containers come equipped with the ETRACK™ system—a flexible strapping and securing setup that helps keep your belongings in place, even when the road gets bumpy. Unlike U-Haul®, we understand that terrain can vary, especially in a place like Colorado Springs. With UNITS®, you can feel confident your items will stay secure from start to finish.

One Container Does the Job

Why juggle several small containers when one UNITS® container does the job better? Our 12’ container can easily fit the contents of four full rooms or bulky items like patio sets and dining tables. Our 16’ container is ideal for larger moves, contractor supplies, or even emergency response storage. No matter the job, UNITS® of Colorado Springs has a container that fits it—without the hassle of managing multiple U-Haul® U-Boxes.

Container Delivery Re-Invented – UNITS® of Colorado Springs ROBO-UNIT

Here’s something U-Haul® can’t compete with: the ROBO-UNIT. Our advanced delivery system lets us drop your container exactly where you need it—even in narrow driveways, alleys, or tough-to-reach spots in the Colorado Springs area. The ROBO-UNIT keeps the container level during delivery and pickup, which means your contents stay stable, and your placement options stay wide open. UNITS® of Colorado Springs gives you the freedom and precision to move your way. Our ROBO-UNIT can lift 7,000 pounds and move up to 10,000 pounds.  NO OTHER Moving and Portable Storage Company has the ROBO-UNIT – not even U-Haul®.
