Secure and Portable Storage Containers for Your Relocation
At Go Mini's of Columbus, OH, we take pride in supporting our nation's military families. We understand that relocation is a significant part of military life, and we aim to make each move organized, cost-effective, and stress-free. Our team provides dependable solutions designed for service members and their families who value security, flexibility, and professionalism.
Why Military Families Choose Go Mini's of Columbus, OH
Military relocations often come with tight timelines and complex logistics. Whether you're preparing for a temporary duty assignment or a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), our team ensures your move goes smoothly from start to finish. We understand how to handle the paperwork, allowances, and processes required for military relocations.
Our experience with Personally Procured Moves (PPMs) allows us to guide you through each step efficiently. A PPM-sometimes called a "do-it-yourself" military move-gives you greater control over your timeline. The U.S. government reimburses you for a portion or all of your moving costs, meaning you can save money when you choose affordable, self-managed options. Our secure, portable containers and flexible scheduling make this process easier while keeping your budget in check.
