Pricing

The owners of UNITS® of Madison are dedicated to providing the most competitive pricing in the Madison area. Thanks to this commitment, our average costs for moving and storage tend to be more budget-friendly than U-Haul®. We invite you to put this to the test—request a quote from us today and compare it directly with a U-Haul® quote on an apples-to-apples basis. We’re confident that you won’t be disappointed. Moreover, UNITS® operates with complete transparency, so there are no hidden fees. PERIOD.

All Steel Construction

Regarding durability, UNITS® containers stand head and shoulders above the competition. Our containers boast all-steel construction, robust steel frames, and steel doors. They epitomize weather resistance, eliminating the need for cumbersome tarps. In stark contrast, U-Haul® containers are constructed from wood, adhesive, and staples. This level of quality and resilience can only be found at UNITS® of Madison.

More Interior Space and Capacity

UNITS® containers are renowned for their generous interior space. Thanks to our innovative door design, even our smallest container (12′) can accommodate a remarkable 511 additional cubic feet of space compared to U-Haul® containers of similar size. Furthermore, our 16′ UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage containers can handle up to 400% more weight than equivalently sized U-Haul® containers. That’s extra capacity you can count on.

ETRACK™ Securing System

Our containers come equipped with the ETRACK™ securing system, setting us apart from U-Haul®. We recognize that items may shift during moves due to variations in terrain. Our strap and restraint system, ETRACK™, keeps your belongings securely in place.

One Container Does the Job

Compared to U-Haul®’s U-Box, you would require just one of our containers to store multiple rooms’ worth of furniture and belongings, whereas multiple U-Box containers would be needed to accomplish the same task. Our 12′ containers can comfortably accommodate up to four rooms, an entire basement, or oversized items like patio furniture and dining room tables. Our 16′ containers are ideal for sizable family relocations, keeping supplies readily available at job sites, or supporting first responders. With our containers, UNITS® of Madison accomplishes what others simply can’t.

Container Delivery Re-Invented – UNITS® of Madison ROBO-UNIT®

Our ROBO-UNIT is a cutting-edge delivery system that empowers us to deliver containers to the tightest spaces in Madison. Moreover, it ensures level loading and unloading of your container. This innovation significantly minimizes any potential shifting of container contents and affords greater flexibility in container placement, especially when dealing with space constraints. 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®.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is UNITS® different from renting a U-HAUL® truck?

No wrestling a bulky truck through Madison traffic, climbing up and down ramps, or taking on rental-truck liability. We bring the container to you, you pack at your own pace, and we handle the driving — no ramps, no rush.

Can I take my time loading?

That's the whole point. Your 16-foot (or 12-foot) container sits right in your driveway for as long as you need to pack it, so you can load over hours or days instead of cramming everything into one stressful day. With monthly rates and no time constraints, we'll never rush you.

Do I have to sort out storage separately?

Not with us. The same container you pack can go straight to our secure, climate-controlled Madison facility, keeping your moving and storage under one roof — you only load and unload once, and whether you need it for a month or a year, we have you covered.

Will the pricing be clear?

Yes — we offer guaranteed, fixed pricing based on container size and travel distance, with no fuel charges, rental fees, or mileage math. Your card isn't even charged until the day of delivery.
