Moving in or around Davis? We deliver the container.
UNITS Portable Storage delivers ground level moving and storage containers right to your Davis property. You pick the day, we drop the container, you load on your own schedule. When you’re done, we either move it to your new home or store it at our secure indoor warehouse. No truck rental clock running.
We’re locally owned and operated, and we’ve been serving Davis families and businesses for decades. The container shows up when we say. The same person who took your call usually handles the delivery.
Why Davis chooses UNITS
We’re locally owned. When you call our office, you talk to a real person, not a call center somewhere else in the country. The same person typically handles your account from quote through pickup.
A few things our Davis customers tell us:
- The ROBO remote control delivery system places containers in the tight Old North Davis driveways and around mature oak canopies that flatbed trucks can’t navigate. Critical near campus and in the older neighborhoods west of B Street.
- We know UC Davis student move timing. Late August through early September is our busiest Davis stretch every year. Book early during peak weeks.
- Open six days a week. We can usually get a container to your Davis address faster than the national chains can dispatch one.
At UNITS we are committed to top notch customer service, support, and providing the best experience possible. We are locally owned and operated which means we truly understand the unique challenges that you are facing with moving and storage in Davis.
Our team goes to every effort to make sure that you are getting superior service that will exceed your expectations. From your first contact, through delivery, pick up, and finally storage or final delivery we are there to help you along the way.
We can deliver our containers anywhere you are. With the help of our robo-unit we can navigate tight alleys, and sharp corners to ensure everyone can have access to portable storage.
Outside of our customer service our containers stand above the competition in a variety of ways that we will detail below. When you choose UNITS as your portable storage in Davis provider you can rest easy knowing that you and your property are in great hands.

Where Can You Use Portable Storage in Davis
Residential moves anywhere in Davis, Dixon, Woodland, Vacaville, and the surrounding area. Storage during home sales when you’ve sold but haven’t closed on the next place. Renovation storage when you need the kitchen or living room cleared out.
A few Davis situations we handle a lot:
- Faculty and research households. Sabbaticals, visiting positions, and inter-university moves are a real thing in Davis. We store full households for the duration of a research trip and redeliver when you come back.
- Old North Davis renovations. A lot of the housing west of B Street is from the 1920s through 1950s and is going through second-generation remodels. Containers clear out a wing of the house while contractors work, then we redeliver the contents.
- Bay Area transplant transitions. Davis is a popular landing spot for Bay Area families. We fill the gap between selling the old place and closing on the new one.
Our portable storage in Davis containers were designed with ease of use in mind. We have wide doors that sit on the ground level to make getting in and out of the UNIT with a dolly, furniture, appliances, or boxes easily accessible. No more having to push and pull heavy items up a ramp into a large boxy truck. Ground level entry is the easy and stress free way of loading and packing.
Our containers are weather proof to keep the rain and other element out and away from your belongings. The roof is also made of semi transparent material. This means that no one can see into your UNIT, but it does allow sunlight to get into the container so you can easily see what you are doing while loading it up.
The sides of the container come equipped with tie down and anchor points. You can ultilze these to secure your items as you pack and load to protect against any shifting that could possibly happen while in transit.
You also supply your own lock for your container so you know no one else will have access to your UNIT either while at your location or while it is in transport or storage.
Davis commercial moves and seasonal storage
Davis businesses use our containers for seasonal inventory storage, document storage during office build-outs, equipment storage during renovations, and overflow during the busy seasons. We deliver to back lots, dock spaces, and parking lots, not just driveways. Month to month rentals, no long term contract, and same person handles your account from delivery through pickup.
We are also not just limited to residential storage offerings. We also provide complete commercial portable storage in Davis when and where you need it. Whether you need to clear out some space for an office remodel, or need to bring in extra inventory having a secure container at your location can greatly help your business.
We have experience serving commercial properties, construction projects, offices, remodels and more. Contact us to learn more about how a UNIT can make a difference for your business.
UC Davis student moves: every August and June
The two biggest Davis weeks of the year for us are late August move-in and June move-out. Whether it’s a freshman year dorm haul, an off-campus apartment cleanout, or a household-size move home for the summer, we can have a container at your address within a few days. Book early during the peak weeks.
If your student lives in Davis during the school year and goes home for summer, we can also store the container at our secure indoor warehouse between school years. Month to month, no long term contract.
There’s a lot that makes Davis a unique city, and being the home of UC Davis is just one of many. If you are attending UC Davis from out of town and are looking for somewhere to store your items when school is not in session then portable storage in Davis is right for you.
We can bring a UNIT to your home or apartment and then you fill it at the end of the year. We will then bring it to our secure storage facility where it will be kept safe and sound while you are away. When the school year starts back up just set up delivery at your new residence and unpack your items.

Davis portable storage questions, answered
How fast can you deliver a container to my Davis address?
Usually within two to three business days, except during peak student-move weeks (late August and early-to-mid June). Call early during those windows.
Do you handle UC Davis student moves?
Yes. We deliver containers to off-campus apartments, dorm pickup zones with the right access, and family homes for summer storage. We can also store the container between school years if your student doesn’t have a permanent local address.
Can you fit a container in a tight Davis driveway?
Most of the time, yes. Our ROBO remote control delivery system handles narrow driveways and around mature trees common in Old North Davis and College Park.
Do I need a permit to put a container at my Davis property?
If the container sits on your private driveway, no permit is required. Street placement requires a temporary right-of-way permit from the City of Davis. We walk you through the process when you book.
Do you store the container at your facility if I don’t want it at my Davis address?
Yes. We have a secure indoor warehouse with month to month storage and no long term contract. You can schedule access whenever you need to grab something out.
