Rent-to-Own Shipping Containers
Get the container you need now and pay for it over time. Cactus Containers offers rent-to-own on containers from all three of our Texas yards — Midland, Amarillo and Decatur — with the same steel and the same delivery as a cash purchase.
The application opens at Rental Partners in a new tab. Payment amount and term are confirmed with them during the application.
How rent-to-own works
Four steps from picking your container to owning it. Cactus Containers handles the container and the delivery; our rent-to-own partner, Rental Partners, handles the application and the agreement.
Choose your container
Pick the size and condition that fits your job — 20ft, 40ft, high cube, double-door or open-side.
Apply online
The application is handled by Rental Partners, the rent-to-own provider we work with. It is quick and entirely online.
Get approved & delivered
Once your application is approved and your agreement is in place, we schedule delivery from the yard nearest you.
Own it at the end
Complete the term of your agreement and the container is yours to keep.
Rent-to-own is not a loan
Cactus Containers is not a lender. Rent-to-own is the only pay-over-time option we offer: a rental agreement that ends with the container belonging to you, arranged through Rental Partners.
Get the container working for you sooner
Rent-to-own is how a lot of our ranch, jobsite and small-business customers get a container on the ground without writing one big check.
No large upfront cost
You don't have to cover the full purchase price to get started. That keeps your cash available for the work the container is there to support.
Use it while you pay for it
The container is delivered to your site and in service from day one.
Own it outright at the end
Unlike a straight monthly rental, rent-to-own ends with the container belonging to you.
Same containers, same steel
Rent-to-own units come out of the same condition-graded inventory we sell for cash.
Same delivery as a cash sale
Delivered on a tilt-bed truck from the yard nearest you and placed where you want it.
A Texas team on the phone
Rental Partners handles the paperwork; we handle the container.
Almost everything we sell can be rent-to-own
There is one rule, and it is an easy one to check. Any container can go rent-to-own — including units with basic modifications on them. A container with plumbing or electrical in it cannot. Storage containers, one-trip units, open-sides, double-doors, custom lengths: all of it qualifies.
- Used and one-trip 20 ft and 40 ft containers, standard and high cube
- New 8, 9, 12, 13 and 14 ft containers
- Double-door and open-side units
- Texas flag, 53 ft and cut-to-length builds
- Modified builds with no plumbing and no electrical — extra doors, roll-ups, vents, insulation, paint, shelving and racking are all fine
- Office conversions — all four builds. Every office we build has electrical in it, so none of them can be rent-to-own.
- The basic tack room exactly as we spec it. That build includes a 12" solar fan, which puts it on the wrong side of the rule.
- Any build we put plumbing or electrical into — wired lighting, outlets, HVAC, a sink or a restroom.
Not sure which side your build lands on? Tell us what you want on the container and we will tell you straight before you apply — call the nearest yard.
Which containers can I rent to own?
The same units we sell outright, as long as there is no plumbing or electrical in the build. Here are four of the most popular, with the cash purchase price from our Decatur yard so you have a reference point.

Container prices by yard
Prices vary by yard. Decatur runs lower on most units; Amarillo and Midland are priced the same as each other. These are cash purchase prices before delivery — they are a reference point, not a rent-to-own payment.
