Does IGA-Rent sell containers?
We do not sell containers. IGA-Rent's business focus is to rent shipping containers.
Who are container rentals for?
Our containers are available to all types of customers , whether companies or individuals.
What can I use a shipping container for?
Our containers can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Temporary storage – Ideal for creating temporary warehouses in the location you define, as long as there is access for loading and unloading (trucks with cranes).
- Workshops and DIY – Functional space for manual or industrial work.
What are the delivery areas?
We deliver to the districts of Lisbon, Setúbal and Santarém . For longer distances, you can request a quote, although our prices may be less competitive compared to local solutions.
Can I drill holes in the container to install shelves or lighting?
No. Drilling holes may compromise the container's seal and cause leaks. If the customer makes holes, he will be responsible for the repair costs.
Are the containers ventilated?
Yes. Shipping containers have small ventilation openings at the top of the side walls, which are protected against water ingress. These can also be used to pass electrical cables through without having to drill holes in the walls.
How can I rent a container?
Reservations must be made 2 days in advance . The minimum rental period is 30 calendar days – even if the rental is shorter, billing will always be made for periods of 30 days.
What are the delivery times?
Deliveries are made on working days, from Monday to Friday , within established working hours. Some flexibility may be considered with prior notice and if the customer's needs justify it. The schedule must be agreed with the sales manager or the person responsible for the fleet, thus ensuring operational availability and the necessary logistical coordination.
How far in advance should I request container availability?
We recommend that you request equipment availability at least one week in advance .
