United Rentals can make sense when your project already buys equipment through one account. Its specialty line lists storage containers, office containers, office trailers and modular buildings beside the company's broader equipment operation. Its relevant Mountain West branches are in Henderson, Colorado; Murray, Utah; and Boise, Idaho.
The reason to compare alternatives is not that the listed space is interchangeable. It is to separate the office or storage decision from a bundled order and see the term, transport, recurring charges and included features clearly. United Rentals routes this line through a quote, and its site advises scheduling delivery well in advance to get the container size needed (unitedrentals.com, Henderson storage and mobile office branch page, Murray storage and mobile office branch page and 4 other pages, checked September 11, 2026).

Who else rents mobile offices and containers in the Mountain West?
Start with the job location, not the logo on the quote. A nearby yard can matter for scheduling, but yard count alone does not tell you whether a specific unit is available. Rate access also varies: some operators print a starting rate, some reveal one after location and dates, and others require a quote.
The table keeps United Rentals as the baseline and then follows the directory rank. The order is arithmetic on stated facts: rate access, a stated minimum, a stated delivery statement, states with a yard, and whether an office is listed. It does not grade unit condition, service quality or availability.

Rows after the baseline run in directory rank order. Yards are counted per state (CO, UT, WY, MT, ID); "Confirm in the written quote" means the operator's site states nothing we could verify, not that no term exists. Full method and every row: the Mountain West operator directory.
- United Rentals: These are its Storage Containers and Mobile Offices branches; its general equipment branches are more numerous.

Where JOLT fits
JOLT operates one yard in Gypsum, Colorado and delivers on its own truck across Zones A–E and the four-state Zone F. It is a focused choice when you need a ground-level container office, storage, temporary fence or its listed site equipment and want every JOLT charge visible before the call.
The 20 ft office has three levels. Base uses shore power and includes a mini-split for heating and cooling, a steel door, two barred slider windows, lights, outlets and vinyl-plank flooring. Grid-Free adds WATCH, CONNECT and POWER. Alpine adds a standing-seam over-roof, covered entry deck, cedar surrounds and backup heat.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| $795 /mo | |
Most popular | $1,495 /mo |
| $1,895 /mo |
3-month minimum on every office; $750 reservation deposit.
For more interior length and an enclosed bathroom, JOLT also rents the 40 ft office with bathroom at $1,595/mo. It is a different layout rather than a larger version of every 20 ft tier, so compare the actual floor plan and utility needs.
Rent is only one line. Delivery, recurring charges, optional upgrades and any applicable deposit or waiver belong in the project forecast. JOLT publishes those lines rather than folding them into an unpublished total.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
JOLT Express On-site within 7 business days instead of the standard 2–4 week window | $750 one-time |
| $450 one-time | |
On-site relocation Move within the same site | $450 per move |
Fence install At delivery | $1.75 /LF |
Fence removal At pickup | $1.75 /LF |
The reservation flow takes the job ZIP and shows the delivery week before payment. The pricing page gives the current rent, fee and zone details. JOLT is not the fit when the same purchase order must include crane trucks, excavators, lifts or a complete general-equipment package.

Reading a bundled quote line by line
Do not compare only the first monthly line. Normalize the quote around the period your schedule actually needs, and identify charges that continue every month. Get pickup treatment in writing at the start rather than when demobilization is already underway.
| Line | JOLT | Ask the other operator |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly rent | $795/mo Base | Exact unit and rent |
| Minimum term | 3 months; Zone F 12 | Term and early exit |
| Delivery each way | Zone A–E published | Outbound transport |
| Pickup | Equals A–E delivery | Written return charge |
| Risk option | 12% | Waiver or insurance |
| Recurring fee | 5% | Every monthly charge |
| Annual increase | 5% | Date and amount |
| Cancellation | More than 14 days | Refund cutoff |
JOLT's office minimum is 3 months in Zones A–E and 12 months in Zone F. Pickup requires at least 15 days' written notice, and rent continues until retrieval. Early termination during the minimum owes the remaining minimum rent plus pickup under the rental terms.
For Zones A–E, pickup equals the published outbound delivery fee. Zone F has a published delivery charge, while pickup is quoted in writing before delivery. That distinction should be carried into your comparison rather than estimated.
The damage waiver is not insurance. A customer may instead provide a certificate of insurance and the required refundable deposit. Check the risk provisions and put the route you choose beside every competing quote's insurance requirements.

Next step
Write one scope with the job ZIP, requested unit, required arrival week, planned rental months, power situation and access constraints. Send it to the two or three operators whose yards and unit lists fit. Then compare the returned lines against the checklist above.
If JOLT fits the scope, review how delivery works, check your delivery zone, and start at Reserve. The site should have a firm, level, well-drained pad and a clear truck route: about 70 ft straight-line clearance for a 20 ft unit and about 100 ft for a 40 ft unit.
Questions contractors ask
Does United Rentals list mobile offices in the Mountain West?
Yes. United Rentals lists storage containers, office containers, office trailers and modular buildings through specialty branches in Henderson, Murray and Boise. Its site routes rental pricing through a quote request.
Which company now owns the former Pac-Van operation?
United Rentals acquired General Finance Corporation, Pac-Van's parent, in 2021. A customer who remembers Pac-Van should therefore compare the current United Rentals offer and agreement rather than look for a separate Pac-Van rental branch.
Does JOLT publish its mobile office rent?
Yes. JOLT prints monthly rent for each office tier, including $795/mo for Base, along with deposits, recurring charges and delivery zones. You can review those figures before starting a reservation.
What is JOLT's minimum term for an office?
A JOLT office has a 3-month minimum in Zones A–E and a 12-month minimum in Zone F. After that minimum, rent continues month to month until written pickup notice and retrieval.
Can JOLT supply a 40 ft office with a bathroom?
Yes. JOLT rents a 40 ft office container with an enclosed bathroom for $1,595/mo. The customer must confirm utility and site requirements before delivery.
How quickly does JOLT deliver an office?
Standard delivery is 2–4 weeks after a confirmed reservation. JOLT Express puts an eligible Base 20 ft office on site within 7 business days for $750.
What should I compare in a bundled equipment quote?
Separate monthly rent, delivery, pickup, recurring charges, insurance requirements, minimum term, annual increases and cancellation terms. Then confirm which furnishings, power features and site work are included for the office.
Can JOLT put offices and heavy equipment on one order?
JOLT can supply its listed offices, storage, temporary fence, light towers, ground heaters, traffic control and hand-wash stations. It is not the source for excavators, lifts or a complete heavy-equipment package.
