When you move with CEND, you also get flexibility. If you need to store your belongings for a few weeks locally while your new home is prepared, we can do that.

You can enjoy total flexibility to create the experience you want and can afford, whether you need portable storage units for rent or storage units in Chicago.

portable storage units for every situation
No matter whether you’re planning a local or a cross-country move or remodeling your home, we have storage solutions for every situation.


on-site storage
Our on-site storage is a convenient option for homeowners remodeling their residences and needing a way to keep their belongings safe and out of the way. With this storage model, we deliver storage containers to your location. You can pack your belongings and keep the units until you no longer need them. Because our facilities are not available for customers to visit, this is the best option if you want easy access to your stored belongings.
mobile storage
For people who are relocating and experiencing a short period of time between leaving one home and moving into the next, our mobile storage may be a great choice. With this storage option, we will bring a storage container to you. You’ll fill it up with your belongings, and we’ll take the packed container to one of our secure storage facility locations. We can hold your items for as long as you need and deliver them to you when you’re ready.
If you need access to something in storage during the time your items are being held, we can either retrieve the item for you or schedule a time for the container to be brought back to your location.

No two moves or storage situations are exactly the same. Because of that, we don’t believe in forcing people to pick from a few select packages. Instead, at CEND, we emphasize creating your own moving and storage solutions that are as unique as your situation. When you book with us, you get to design it all — whether you want a full-service move with packers and movers or you want to DIY it.
If you only need storage or moving services, you can do that a la carte. Or, if you want a full-service experience, where we pack, load, and move everything, we can do that, too. We can move you across town or the entire country, or we can hold some or all of your belongings for as little or as much time as you need.
We’re here to make your move as easy as possible by letting you choose every aspect of it, from start to finish.

Choosing the right size for your portable storage units depends on several factors, including the size of the rooms or house that need to be packed and how large your furniture is. We offer a storage calculator, which you can use to help visualize the size and how many storage units you may need.
In general, a good rule of thumb is that an 8-foot storage container can fit a studio, room, or apartment under 500 square feet, a 12-foot container is suitable for a 500 to 800 square-foot home, and a 16-foot storage container should fit a two- or three-bedroom home up to 1,200 square feet in space.
We pride ourselves on making this process as customizable as possible for our customers and their unique needs. You are free to keep your storage container as long as you need, and you can extend how long you keep it without hassle.
