20ft Shipping Container Rental in Nanaimo, BC
Rent a 20ft container in Nanaimo from $120/month with no deposit — we deliver to the Island by ferry on a custom quote and collect it when you're done.
Need a 20ft shipping container rental in Nanaimo? Whether you are a Departure Bay contractor who needs lockable storage between jobs, a marine outfit near the harbour parking gear over the off-season, or a mid-Island business that just needs more dry square footage without pouring a slab, a monthly hire gives you the space without the commitment of buying.
Every unit is one of our 20ft boxes: roughly 20 by 8 by 8.5 ft, about 33 m3 of usable room, wind- and water-tight, with a welded steel lockbox to protect the padlock. That combination handles Nanaimo winters and salt air far better than a wood shed or a tarp, which is why island tradespeople and hobby-farm owners keep coming back to steel.
Because Nanaimo sits across the water, we deliver from our Richmond yard by ferry, so island jobs are quoted individually rather than at a flat mainland rate. We handle both the drop-off and the collection at the end of your term.

Why rent from Conway
- Month-to-month, not locked in. Keep the unit for a single season or roll it over as long as your Nanaimo project runs, then extend month by month with no pressure to commit up front.
- We deliver and collect by ferry. You do not chase down transport across the strait. We arrange the crossing from Richmond, place the container where you want it, and haul it back when you are done.
- Built for coastal weather. Wind- and water-tight steel with a secure lockbox keeps tools, stock and equipment dry through the wet island months and safe on an open site.
- See it before it ships. Want to inspect the exact type of unit first? Visit our Richmond yard by appointment and look one over before we load it for the ferry.
FAQ
Common questions
- How much does it cost to rent a 20ft container in Nanaimo?
- It starts from about $120/month for a 20ft, with a one-month minimum and month-to-month after. Delivery by ferry is quoted to your exact site and paid in your first month, and there's no security or damage deposit — solid for a mid-Island contractor or a marine outfit near the harbour.
- How is delivery to Nanaimo handled and priced?
- Nanaimo is on Vancouver Island, so we deliver by ferry from our Richmond yard, quoted to your exact site rather than a flat mainland rate. Delivery is paid in your first month and collection in your final month.
- Is there a minimum term and can I extend it?
- The minimum is one month, then it's month-to-month — keep it as long as your Island project or season runs. When you no longer need it, let us know and we schedule the ferry collection back to Richmond.
- Can I buy the container at the end?
- Yes. You can buy the unit at its current market price if you decide to keep it. It's not rent-to-own, so the rent you've paid isn't credited toward the sale, but the option is always open.
