JOLT or United Rentals?

Pick JOLT when you want the rent on the page without an account, a finished office with heat, A/C and optional solar and Starlink, or lease to own. Pick United Rentals when you already hold an account and want storage, offices and custom fit-outs from one national equipment supplier.

United Rentals Office Trailer Price vs a Posted Rate

A United Rentals office trailer price comes as a quote for your site, dates and unit, so ask for every line in writing: rent, minimum term, delivery, pickup, setup and recurring fees. To compare, JOLT posts its container office rent: the 20 ft Base is $795/mo and the 40 ft office with bathroom $1,595/mo, with a $750 deposit.

0:00How do you get a United Rentals trailer price?

A United Rentals office trailer price comes as a quote, built for your site, your dates and your unit. So ask for every line in writing: rent, minimum term, delivery, pickup, setup and any recurring fees. The monthly rate is only one of them.

0:17What does a posted rate look like?

Then put that quote beside a price you can see without asking. JOLT posts the rent for every container office, from the 20-foot Base to the 40-foot office with a bathroom.

Both sit at ground level, with heat, cooling and a fifty-amp power inlet, so there are no stairs or skirting to add.

United Rentals can make sense when your project already buys equipment through one account. Its specialty line lists storage containers, office containers, office trailers and modular buildings beside the company's broader equipment operation. Its relevant Mountain West branches are in Henderson, Colorado; Murray, Utah; and Boise, Idaho.

The reason to compare alternatives is not that the listed space is interchangeable. It is to separate the office or storage decision from a bundled order and see the term, transport, recurring charges and included features clearly. United Rentals routes this line through a quote, and its site advises scheduling delivery well in advance to get the container size needed (unitedrentals.com, Henderson storage and mobile office branch page, Murray storage and mobile office branch page and 4 other pages, checked September 11, 2026).

Who else rents mobile offices and containers in the Mountain West?

Start with the job location, not the logo on the quote. A nearby yard can matter for scheduling, but yard count alone does not tell you whether a specific unit is available. Rate access also varies: some operators print a starting rate, some reveal one after location and dates, and others require a quote.

The table keeps United Rentals as the baseline and then follows the directory rank. The order is arithmetic on stated facts: rate access, a stated minimum, a stated delivery statement, states with a yard, and whether an office is listed. It does not grade unit condition, service quality or availability.

Rows after the baseline run in directory rank order. Yards are counted per state (CO, UT, WY, MT, ID); "Confirm in the written quote" means the operator's site states nothing we could verify, not that no term exists. Full method and every row: the Mountain West operator directory.

  • United Rentals: These are its Storage Containers and Mobile Offices branches; its general equipment branches are more numerous.
  • Mobile Modular Portable Storage: The Colorado page names Longmont as the branch; its other Colorado city pages are service pages.
  • MoCan Containers: The Bozeman location page places that yard in Gallatin Gateway.
  • Mobile Modular: The Colorado pages name Denver and Colorado Springs as locations without a street address; the Utah and Idaho pages give one.
  • WillScot: The branch WillScot calls Denver storage is in Commerce City, its Denver modular branch is in Henderson and its Boise branch is in Nampa.
  • Sunbelt Rentals: General equipment branches; the storage containers sit in the same catalog as the tools.
  • Sunbelt Rentals: No mobile-office rental product appeared on its site when we checked.
  • Warehouse on Wheels: Trades in Colorado as Colorado Trailer Rentals, with drop lots in Denver and Colorado Springs.
  • Satellite Shelters: Its Denver branch address is in Commerce City; the branch page says it also serves Wyoming.
  • Cascade Container: Purchase prices are printed on the site; rentals go through a quote form.
  • Montana Mobile Storage: The Missoula address appears in the company's own brochure; the site's pages give no street address.

Sources for the alternatives

Each operator's facts come from its own website, read on the date shown. Rates, terms and delivery promises change; the written quote governs.

Use the list to make a short call sheet. Ask every operator for the same delivery address, delivery window, office type, rental duration and requested options. A consistent request makes line-by-line review possible.

Where JOLT fits

10, 12 and 20 ft units in Colorado and the Mountain West ship on JOLT's own truck. 40 ft units and every order outside the Rocky Mountains ship on a vetted partner carrier from the nearest JOLT source yard. JOLT publishes each transport fee by class and region before the call.

The 20 ft office has three levels. Base uses shore power and includes a mini-split for heating and cooling, a steel door, two barred slider windows, lights, outlets and vinyl-plank flooring. Grid-Free adds WATCH, CONNECT and POWER. Alpine adds a standing-seam over-roof, covered entry deck, cedar surrounds and backup heat.

For more interior length and an enclosed bathroom, JOLT also rents the 40 ft office with bathroom at $1,595/mo. It is a different layout rather than a larger version of every 20 ft tier, so compare the actual floor plan and utility needs.

Rent is only one line. Delivery, recurring charges, optional upgrades and any applicable deposit or waiver belong in the project forecast. JOLT publishes those lines rather than folding them into an unpublished total.

The reservation flow takes the job ZIP and shows the delivery week before payment. The pricing page gives the current rent, fee and zone details. JOLT is not the fit when the same purchase order must include crane trucks, excavators, lifts or a complete general-equipment package.

Reading a bundled quote line by line

Do not compare only the first monthly line. Normalize the quote around the period your schedule actually needs, and identify charges that continue every month. Get pickup treatment in writing at the start rather than when demobilization is already underway.

JOLT's office minimum is 3 months at Colorado addresses and 12 months outside Colorado. Pickup requires at least 15 days' written notice, and rent continues until retrieval. Early termination during the minimum owes the remaining minimum rent plus the published pickup fee under the rental terms.

In Colorado and the Mountain West, pickup equals the published delivery fee per unit by class; elsewhere pickup is part of the project quote. Mountain West standard-unit delivery and pickup each cost $3,495; 40 ft units cost $5,495 each way.

The damage waiver is not insurance. A customer may instead provide a certificate of insurance and the required refundable deposit. Check the risk provisions and put the route you choose beside every competing quote's insurance requirements.

Before you choose

Write one scope with the job ZIP, requested unit, required arrival week, planned rental months, power situation and access constraints. Send it to the two or three operators whose yards and unit lists fit. Then compare the returned lines against the checklist above.

If JOLT fits the scope, review how delivery works, check your delivery zone, and start at Reserve. The site should have a firm, level, well-drained pad and a clear truck route: about 70 ft straight-line clearance for a 20 ft unit and about 100 ft for a 40 ft unit.

Questions contractors ask

Does United Rentals list mobile offices in the Mountain West?

Yes. United Rentals lists storage containers, office containers, office trailers and modular buildings through specialty branches in Henderson, Murray and Boise. Its site routes rental pricing through a quote request.

Which company now owns the former Pac-Van operation?

United Rentals acquired General Finance Corporation, Pac-Van's parent, in 2021. A customer who remembers Pac-Van should therefore compare the current United Rentals offer and agreement rather than look for a separate Pac-Van rental branch.

Does JOLT publish its mobile office rent?

Yes. JOLT prints monthly rent for each office tier, including $795/mo for Base, along with deposits, recurring charges and delivery zones. You can review those figures before starting a reservation.

What is JOLT's minimum term for an office?

A JOLT office has a 3-month minimum at Colorado addresses and a 12-month minimum outside Colorado. After that, rent continues until written pickup notice and retrieval.

Can JOLT supply a 40 ft office with a bathroom?

Yes. JOLT rents a 40 ft office container with an enclosed bathroom for $1,595/mo. The customer must confirm utility and site requirements before delivery.

How quickly does JOLT deliver an office?

Standard delivery is 2–4 weeks after a confirmed reservation. JOLT Express puts an eligible Base 20 ft office on site within 7 business days for $795.

What should I compare in a bundled equipment quote?

Separate monthly rent, delivery, pickup, recurring charges, insurance requirements, minimum term, annual increases and cancellation terms. Then confirm which furnishings, power features and site work are included for the office.

Can JOLT put offices and heavy equipment on one order?

JOLT can supply its listed offices, storage, temporary fence, light towers, ground heaters, traffic control and hand-wash stations. It is not the source for excavators, lifts or a complete heavy-equipment package.

The rent is on the page.

Rentals from $85/mo
