Military families relocating in or out of San Antonio face unique challenges during Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves.

Choosing the Right Moving Option for Military Families
When your new assignment is more than 50 miles away or will last more than 20 weeks, you qualify for a PCS move. The military may cover your relocation through:
Household Goods Move (HHG): A government-contracted service that handles all logistics through a Transportation Service Provider (TSP).
Personally Procured Move (PPM): You manage the move and receive compensation equal to what the government would spend. Any savings you generate are yours to keep.
Using Go Mini's of San Antonio, TX for a PPM gives you both control and potential cost savings. Our portable containers make loading and unloading more manageable, while secure transportation and storage offer the confidence needed for such a significant transition.
Features of Our Military Moving Containers
Every move is different, which is why we offer three container sizes—12, 16, and 20 feet—to suit various household sizes. Each container is 8 feet tall and designed with features to support secure and efficient relocations.
Ground-Level Design: Raised eight inches to protect from flooding while making loading easier.
Ventilation and Flooring: All containers include built-in ventilation and pressure-treated floors to resist mold and mildew.
Padded Wheels and Durable Construction: Wheels prevent damage to driveways, while steel siding ensures long-lasting strength.
Tie-Down Rails: Secure your belongings with built-in rails during transit or storage.
These containers are built to support everything from small apartments to large family homes.
Storage Options for Your Military Move
Go Mini's of San Antonio, TX provides both at-home and facility-based storage options to fit your needs:
Store the container at your residence for ongoing access

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What size container is best for my military move?
The ideal container size depends on how much you need to move. A 12-foot container works well for smaller homes or apartments. For mid-sized households, a 16-foot container typically provides enough space. Larger homes with five to seven rooms may require a 20-foot container to accommodate furniture, appliances, and household goods. Our team can assist you in selecting the right size based on your inventory and schedule.
2. How does San Antonio's climate affect my move?
San Antonio’s weather includes hot, humid summers and mild winters. High temperatures can damage sensitive items if not properly packed. Go Mini's of San Antonio, TX containers are weather-resistant and include ventilation systems to protect your belongings. We recommend packing electronics, photographs, and wooden furniture with extra care to prevent warping or moisture-related damage during extreme weather.
3. What should I consider when choosing storage options?
When evaluating storage, consider both environmental protection and security. Climate-resistant containers reduce the risk of mold and heat damage. Security is also essential—look for facilities with controlled access, surveillance systems, and durable construction. Go Mini's of San Antonio, TX offers on-site and off-site storage options with steel-welded frames, locked access, and optional facility monitoring for added peace of mind.

We had a really great experience with Go Mini's! Everyone we dealt with was friendly, helpful, and flexible, which made the whole process so much easier.
Our delivery driver was especially great. He took a lot of care with our belongings and was very careful with our property when delivering and picking up the container. We really appreciated how considerate he was.
Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and we were very happy with the service. I would definitely use Go Mini's again and highly recommend them!

From calling for information to pickup and delivery, everyone was great! Go Mini's beat competitors' price and availability. Communication from start to completion was flawless. I'm not one to leave reviews, but these guys did a fantastic job. I highly recommend Go Mini's.
Aurelio Cortes
She Went Above and Beyond
I have so many great things to say about Erica and Go Mini Storage. She was responsive, friendly, and professional. We were originally supposed to move in the middle of May, but we had to delay and push everything back, and the entire time Erica was calm and professional. We were told that our move was 2,300 cubic feet, which would have been enough to fit in a 16- and 20-foot unit. On the day of our move, we ran out of space, and Erica was able to have an additional unit delivered within an hour. She went above and beyond when we had the units delivered on a holiday (4th of July). Erica and her team delivered and picked up all three units so the storage units were not sitting outside of the house.
Phillip Ulary

The service was convenient for our move and, with add-ons, a little expensive. Not hidden costs, just “add-on costs.” We paid for convenience. Professional delivery, on time and accurate. Professional company and employees.

Go Mini's Offers Fabulous Service!
Go Mini's offers fabulous service! We had been thinking about renting a storage unit for decluttering our home but kept putting it off. We finally made a decision at 8 p.m. at night and were fortunate to have it delivered the next day shortly after 12 noon. AMAZING!!! All of the other businesses were still contacting me asking for more information, and Go Mini's had already delivered because they made the process so easy online. In addition, their driver was extremely competent, called for additional directions, and positioned and repositioned the storage unit exactly where we wanted it so it would not be seen by neighbors passing by, and did it all with a smile!!! Excellent job!!! I would recommend Go Mini's to anyone needing a storage unit. GREAT JOB!!! GREAT JOB, GO MINI'S!!!
