UNITS® of North Houston is the better choice for your moving and storage container needs. You’ll receive fantastic customer service from our local staff who knows the area. We’re dedicated to making your life easier, unlike U-Haul®, which outsources its call center services.
The owners of North Houston’s UNITS® goal is to provide the most affordable pricing in the North Houston region. As a result, our moving and storage prices are typically lower than U-Haul®. But you decide — get a price from us now, then compare our quote apples to apples with the U-Haul® quote — you won’t be disappointed! UNITS® does not charge any additional costs beyond what is advertised. PERIOD.
UNITS® containers are extra tough and long-lasting. They feature all steel construction, including a steel frame and doors. Plus, they’re the most weather-resistant containers available – so you don’t need a tarp. U-Haul® containers use lower quality materials like wood, adhesive, and staples. If you want the best of the best, UNITS® of North Houston is the place for you.
UNITS® containers are both large and spacious – in fact, our smallest container can fit 511 cubic feet more than U-Haul®’s popular model because of our unique door design. Plus, 16′ UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage containers have the ability to hold up 400% more weight compared to similarly sized U-Haul® models!
Our containers are equipped with the ETRACK™ securing mechanism. Unlike U-Haul®, we understand that items may shift during transportation as a result of various terrains. With our strap and restraint system, aka ETRACK™, your possessions will stay put!
UNITS® of North Houston’s containers can hold considerably more than U-Haul® ‘s U-Boxes, which you would need multiple of to store everything our one container can. For example, our 12’ container is perfect for 4 rooms’ worth of furniture and supplies, or even large objects like patio furniture or a dining room table. Meanwhile, the 16’ size is great for larger family relocations or storing first responder supplies.

Local ownership sets us apart. You deal with an independently owned North Houston team rather than a national call center, and we deliver one container to your door instead of you arranging trucks or pickups yourself.
No. Our pricing is a guaranteed quote with no hidden fees, and you'll see every cost upfront before booking.
Delivery and pickup fees are typically separate from the monthly rate and are detailed in your quote upfront, with no charge until the day of delivery.
Yes. Our containers are all-steel with tough frames, lockable steel doors, and a one-piece roof, holding up to 8,000 pounds and up to 400% more by weight than some competitors. U-Haul's U-Box® containers are built from wood, adhesive, and staples — a real difference in Houston's heat and storm season.
Not with our ETRACK™ securing system, which straps items in place, plus ROBO-UNIT® level loading that keeps the container steady in transit — neither of which U-Haul® offers.
