Trailer Rental vs Warehouse Leasing: A Smarter Way to Store

July 22, 2025

Warehouse lease rates surged during the pandemic and never came back down.. Even with supply chains easing and vacancy rates up, costs haven’t come down. Add utility charges, maintenance fees, and multi-year contracts, and the bill keeps climbing.

Cushman and Wakefield reports average warehouse rent hit $10.13 per square foot in late 2024—a 61% jump since 2019. Slower construction and steady demand have kept prices stuck.

All that cost lands on your business—with no flexibility in return.

Dry van trailer rentals offer extra room without the burden of a warehouse lease.

Warehouse Costs Will Keep Climbing - Unless You’re a WOW Partner

That $10.13 per square foot? It doesn’t include maintenance or utilities. Those usually gnaw an extra 3.5%. Traditional leases often run 3 to 5 years, making it hard to adapt when your space needs to shift.

WOW trailers cost $100 to $250 a month, depending on location. That’s about $2.25 to $5.65 per square foot annually. You save up to 75%—and skip the red tape.

That’s right. You can cut your costs by more than half without sacrificing space. Just give us a quick call and we’ll handle the rest.

Each trailer adds 530 square feet of secure, weathertight storage. You can place them on-site, move them as needed, park on our drop-lot storage, and scale up or down without penalties or paperwork.

WOW Trailer Rentals Give You Flexibility Without Long-Term Commitment

What You Get with WOW Storage Trailer Rental vs Leased Space

WOW storage trailers give you the essentials without the extras you don’t need:

✅ Clean, dry space
✅ Clear monthly pricing
✅ Easy maintenance
✅ Full support
❌ No CAM fees
❌ No utility charges
❌ No long-term contracts
❌ No passing the call around

A typical trailer gives you about 530 square feet of on-site storage, ready to use the moment it’s delivered. You get more control over your inventory, your yard, and your budget.

Here’s the challenge: compare that to warehouse space, where every square foot comes with added costs and locked-in terms. You will notice that with WOW, storage works for your business, not against it.
