Three Sizes, Ground-Level Loading & Transparent Pricing from a Locally Owned Team
Go Mini's of Albany, NY is locally owned and operated, serving Albany and Schenectady with portable moving and storage containers delivered directly to your driveway, lot, or property. You load on your own schedule. We handle delivery, transport, and pickup. Rental periods are flexible, and our pricing includes no hidden fees, mileage charges, tolls, fuel costs, or added insurance prices.
Albany’s mix of historic neighborhoods and older driveways calls for a delivery team that knows the area. Whether you’re managing a local residential move, clearing space during a renovation, or need temporary storage during a transition, our containers are built for real-world use in this region.

Container Sizes for Albany Moves & Storage Projects
We offer three container sizes with published dimensions and cubic footage so you can size your rental accurately before you book. The storage calculator on the Go Mini’s website is a useful starting point, and our local team can help you confirm the right fit before you commit.
12 Foot Container
Dimensions: 8’ x 8’ x 12’ (768 cubic feet). Well-suited for studio and dorm relocations, 2–3-room moves, and smaller home or business projects where a full-size container would leave excess unused space.
16 Foot Container
Dimensions: 8’ x 8’ x 16’ (1,024 cubic feet). A practical fit for condo and apartment moves, 3–4-room households, and mid-sized renovation projects that need reliable on-site storage without overcommitting on capacity.
20 Foot Container
Dimensions: 8’ x 8’ x 20’ (1,280 cubic feet). Sized for full-home moves, 4–6-room households, large renovation projects, and high-volume business storage. If you’re combining residential and business inventory in a single rental, this is the container that can handle both.
All three containers are 8 feet wide, roughly the width of a standard car. Choosing the right size reduces cost and avoids the need for a second rental mid-project. When in doubt, sizing up slightly is generally the better call.
Container Construction & Features That Protect Your Belongings
Albany winters bring snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles that can affect stored items. Our containers are built to handle those conditions throughout the rental period.
What’s built into every container:
Powder-coated steel construction: Resistant to rust, wear, and weather exposure year-round.
8-inch ground clearance: Reduces the risk of water seepage from ground moisture.
Special vents: Reduce humidity buildup inside the container, helping protect against mold and mildew.
Pressure-treated flooring: Adds an additional layer of moisture resistance at the base.
Tie-down rings: Secure your belongings during transport. Our containers include 25% more tie-down rings than the competition.
Padded wheels: Protect your driveway and property during delivery and pickup.
Customer-controlled padlock: You provide the lock; only you have access.
The MiniGuard Protection Plan is also available. Contact our team for details.
How the Process Works
Four steps take you from booking to final retrieval.
Order Your Container:
Book online or by phone. Choose your delivery date and confirm the location in Albany or Schenectady where you want the container placed.
Pack at Your Own Pace:
We deliver the container to your chosen spot, whether that’s a driveway, parking lot, or commercial property. You load on your own timeline, with no rushing to meet a truck schedule.
Schedule a Pickup:
When you’re done loading, we transport the container to your next destination or to our secure off-site storage facility if you need off-property holding between steps.
Access When Needed:
If your container is held at our secure off-site storage facility, we can deliver it back to your property when you’re ready and pick it up again when you’re done. Our team keeps communication clear so schedule adjustments stay manageable.
Commercial Container Rentals for Albany Businesses
Go Mini’s serves commercial customers across the area, not just residential moves. Contractors, retailers, healthcare facilities, and offices throughout Albany’s Capital Region use our portable storage containers for commercial relocations, on-site construction storage, and inventory management. The process mirrors a residential rental: we deliver to your property and pick up when you’re done, so your team stays focused on operations.
Commercial use cases by container size:
12 Foot Container: Supports low-volume inventory stocking, small office moves, and short-term on-site storage for tools or materials.
16 Foot Container: A good fit for mid-sized office relocations, retail inventory overflow, and project-phase storage during building renovations.
20 Foot Container: Handles high-volume equipment storage, full-facility moves, and construction projects where materials need to stay accessible on-site.
Containers can remain on your commercial property for the full duration of the project, with rental periods flexible enough to cover phased timelines. Albany’s healthcare, government, and education sectors generate regular office and facility storage needs, and our local team is familiar with the access and scheduling requirements those properties bring.
Get Started with Container Rental
We serve residential and commercial customers throughout Albany and Schenectady. Get a free quote online, or call our local team to discuss your project and confirm which container fits your timeline and space.
How Much Driveway Space Do I Need for a Container Delivery?
Our containers are 8 feet wide, roughly the width of a standard car. You’ll also need enough clearance for our delivery truck to reach the placement area. If you’re unsure about your driveway or property access, our local team can review the location before scheduling to confirm the best delivery point.
How Do I Get My Container Back from Off-Site Storage?
Contact our Albany team to schedule redelivery whenever you’re ready. We can bring the container back to your property, you load or unload what you need, and we can pick it up again when you’re done. There’s no need to visit the storage facility.
Can I Extend My Rental Period If My Project Runs Longer than Expected?
Yes. Rental periods are flexible. Contact the local team before your current period ends and we can adjust to your updated timeline so the container stays in place as long as the project requires.
How Do I Choose Between the 12-Foot, 16-Foot, & 20-Foot Container?
The storage calculator on the Go Mini’s website gives you a starting estimate based on the number of rooms or items in your project. As a general guide: the 12 Foot Container fits 2–3 rooms, the 16 Foot Container fits 3–4 rooms, and the 20 Foot Container fits 4–6 rooms or a full-home move. Our local team can also help you confirm before you book. When uncertain, sizing up slightly is preferable to running short mid-project.

Very Satisfied With Service
Very satisfied with service we received. The mini-pod was clean and the driver was courteous. Arranging delivery to our previous house, the move to our new house, as well as pickup and removal were all handled easily. Found them to be a better price than some of the more advertised competitors.

I highly recommend their storage services
My company needed 2 storage units for the duration of an ongoing commercial renovation. We had Go MINI'S delivered and kept them for 2 months. They provided quality units that ensured our clients' belongings were kept dry and safe, which is exactly what we needed! I highly recommend their storage services and look forward to using them on our next project!

Easy to do business with and the storage unit is structurally sound and watertight. I would use them again and would recommend for anyone with mobile storage needs.

Highly recommend for your needs
Jeena was awesome to talk to and interact with. Delivery personnel was easy to work with on the delivery location and setting up. He went the extra mile to get it on-property, out of the way of the construction area. Highly recommend them for your storage and moving needs.
Daniel Cocca

Delivery driver was excellent and very accommodating. The whole experience from calling to being dropped off, then moved and picked up, went smoothly. Highly recommend.
Mark Anderson

Your Pittsfield office was very helpful and accommodating. I would recommend your services to anyone.
Daniel Bailly
Great company!
I have to say, this company went above and beyond for us with our move! They were extremely nice and worked around our schedule to drop our pods off and pick them up, which wasn’t easy because of last-minute closings. Would recommend to everyone! Great company!
Shannon Leonetti
Jeana Crouch was OUTSTANDING!
Super customer service, extremely prompt responses, very professional and well executed. Having used PODS [absolutely awful service] previously, Mullens / Greylock Storage were a refreshing change in how business should treat customers. Jeana Crouch was OUTSTANDING! Would highly recommend.
D M T
Flawless Experience
Good all-round experience. The people were accommodating and professional. We had no complaints. There was a little glitch when it came time to have the pod pick up on the final pick-up back to the pod warehouse. But other than that, it was flawless.
David Boschetti
Super affordable!
Quick response time, moved my condo in no time at all, and super affordable!
josh fredette
Highly recommend their services
Just did a big renovation on our offices and needed storage for all of the furniture/PCs. Found Go Mini's and their staff to be super easy to work with. The drivers, Ed and Todd, who delivered and picked up our containers were very professional and efficient. Was very confident that all our stuff would be handled with care. Highly recommend using their services and I will definitely use again when I move personally as well.
Kristin Browne
Saved a Ton of Money
Todd was great. Our container came when expected and was picked up as expected. Saved a ton of money by using Go Mini's rather than a traditional moving service.
Aaron Browne
Superior Customer Service
I would highly recommend this business for its superior customer service. Last year, when my daughter and I showed up to the Schenectady location without a lock, Steve helped us out. This year, when an advertised online discount didn't register, Jake apologized and credited the amount immediately. So refreshing! Thank you, guys!
Meg Kelley
Highly Recommend Them
Very professional. Everyone you talk to gives you the right answers to your questions and assists in a genuine manner. They take the time to make sure everything is perfect. I highly recommend them because in my opinion it is easier than using a U-Haul.
