Rentals — Fort Worth, TX
Quick answer: renting a 20ft container typically runs $95–$200 a month and a 40ft $130–$300 a month, plus delivery and pickup. Below: the rates, the rent-vs-buy math, and the Fort Worth dealers to call.
Typical U.S. monthly rates and median published rates from national rental companies, October 2026 research. Month-to-month usually runs 15–25% above 12-month contract rates; delivery and pickup are extra (often $150–$400 each way).
Under ~6 months: rent. A season of jobsite storage or a renovation costs a few hundred dollars in rent, with no resale hassle at the end.
Past ~12 months: buy. A year of 20ft rent ($1,140–$2,400, plus delivery and pickup) roughly equals the delivered price of a used wind & watertight 20ft ($1,400–$3,200) — and with a purchase, you keep the box.
Fort Worth is the western half of the Dallas-Fort Worth container market, with no seaport of its own. Supply arrives by rail from Gulf and West Coast ports through the BNSF Alliance Intermodal Facility in Haslet, just north of Fort Worth, and the Union Pacific Dallas Intermodal Terminal in Hutchins, and local yards cluster around Fort Worth, Burleson, Godley and Hutchins. That depot competition keeps Fort Worth delivered prices in the lower half of the national range: an October 2026 Texas price listing put Dallas-Fort Worth depot prices starting at $1,645 for a used 20ft Cargo Worthy box, versus $1,045 in Houston, and US Conex listed DFW used Wind & Watertight prices at $1,600 for a 20ft and $1,890 for a 40ft before delivery.

Delivery in Fort Worth
Most Fort Worth deliveries are tilt-bed drops that need a long, straight, level run — about 80 to 100 ft for a 20ft and about 120 ft for a 40ft, plus 12 to 14 ft of width and 14 to 16 ft of overhead clearance. Set the box on level, firm ground — concrete, asphalt, compacted gravel or blocking under the corners — and plan for North Texas heat, heavy thunderstorms and clay soils that can hold water and make doors bind on a low, soft site. Confirm the exact spot and door direction before delivery day, because moving a set container takes another truck. Check City of Fort Worth, county and HOA rules before you order, especially for a long-term or permanent placement.
