Vs. Uhaul

Looking for an affordable, easy and convenient storage resource alternative to Uhaul? SMARTBOX provides a great alternative option. Unlike traditional storage companies who build their roots in land based storage, but offer portable storage options, SMARTBOX has built their roots in mobile, on-demand storage. We know what works, and how to produce results in a SMARTER way.

With a foundation supported by innovation and quality, SMARTBOX has the advantage over traditional storage facilities because of its ability to provide more attention to the storage needs of its customers. Storage company giants that are too big can open the door for reduced time and attention to customers, as well as overbooking issues. At SMARTBOX, we want to ensure that we are always available, taking the time to handle your storage experience with detailed customer care.

Why SMARTBOX Makes a Great U-Haul Alternative

When life's plans call for relocation, many people look in one of two directions: full-service moving companies or DIY moves that involve renting a moving truck. However, truck rentals aren't ideal for a lot of people. Not only does someone have to drive the truck and be away from the family, but they also have to risk driving an unfamiliar vehicle. That means double the gas and double the risk they'll be involved in an accident. Renting a trailer isn't much better, as few people are familiar with driving with a trailer hitch.

Check out how we compare vs Uhaul on:

Convenience: We pride ourselves on making sure that we offer convenient storage for our customers. Our curbside service is proven to work better than many other storage providers. This is due, in part, to the design structure of our storage containers. The convenient shape of our storage box allows for easy maneuvering into street parking spaces, driveways, high rise docking garages and busy city streets. No matter where you are, we bring the convenience of storage to you, and we do so with a level of attention that can’t be matched by storage companies that are too big like U-haul.

Price: Many larger corporations will avoid running specials and discounts due to the large number of services provided. At SMARTBOX, our focus is on storage and on you, and we offer promotional specials designed with your storage needs in mind. If you realize that you have ordered one container too many, no problem. We will never charge you for what you do not use, and that is our committed dedication to smarter customer service.  

Availability: SMARTBOX understands that your belongings are important to you. Since we are rooted and grounded in storage service, we have built our company on fundamentals that work to improve the storage experience. Part of that responsibility is to make sure that we fulfill our storage commitment to you. With some storage companies, you schedule storage service, but with an overwhelmingly large offering of other services, your service can get overbooked. At SMARTBOX, we guarantee that we will provide you with the storage you need, when you need it.

Size:  SMARTBOX containers are the perfect size at 8’ deep X 7’ tall X 5’ wide.  Each container holds about 1 to 1.5 rooms of furniture and belongings with a total weight capacity of 2,000 lbs. How we compare to other storage companies like U-haul is that our dimensions are positioned in a way that provides easier loading and unpacking capability. The shorter height prevents our customers from having to reach to dangerous heights trying to access their belongings. Our size also offers better protection from shifting since items do not have to be stacked as high. We provide durable, solid storage protection, simply in a smarter way.

Attention: When you choose SMARTBOX as your storage provider, we will provide you with the storage service you need. Whether you call us or pay us a visit at one of our local storage facilities, we will be able to provide you with help quickly because our time and attention is not divided between other departments within our organization. Storage is what we do, and like our storage containers, we are the perfect fit for you because we will focus on what is needed to get the job done, and get it done right.
