Portable storage delivered to Fayette, IA: 8x20 container on your driveway
We bring the container to you. Same 8′ × 20′ shipping container — about 1,280 cu ft — dropped at your address from our West Union yard, 9 miles (13 min) up the road. $100/mo on annual (saves $240/yr) or $120/mo month-to-month. Delivery is quoted upfront based on distance.
Home of Upper Iowa University; predictable end-of-semester storage demand.
Delivering to Fayette from our West Union yard
We are nine miles away, so Fayette deliveries are quick and cheap for us to run. Be aware, though, that you are paying $35/mo more than a thirteen-minute drive costs you. That is worth it for a campus move-out where a container in the lot saves twenty trips with a car — and not for a great deal else.
Route measured 13 minutes (9 miles) via IA-93 from the center of Fayette to the facility address — not straight-line distance. Rather drive and save? Self storage at our West Union facility.
Storage in Fayette, IA
Upper Iowa University sets the clock in a town of 1,300.
Fayette is a town of roughly 1,300 with a university founded in 1857 sitting in the middle of it. Upper Iowa's residential campus turns over on a fixed schedule, and in a town this size that turnover is the dominant storage event of the year — leases end, apartments empty, and a few hundred people all need somewhere to put a room's worth of belongings in the same two-week window.
The upside for Fayette is distance: our West Union yard is 9 miles away, about 13 minutes. That is the shortest drive of any town we serve, close enough that storing here is genuinely no more inconvenient than using a spare room across town. For a summer-long student store or a between-leases gap, it is hard to beat.

When portable in Fayette beats driving to West Union
Honest version: portable wins when the time-cost of repeated trips to West Union adds up. The flip happens roughly when you'd load and unload more than 4–5 times during the rental period. Below that, self-storage at our West Union facility is the cheaper play.
- Active home move — load over weeks, not one weekend
- Renovation — stash a room's contents in your driveway, then put it back
- Storm cleanup or insurance work
- Contractor job-site that lasts 1–6 months
- Long-term stash (12+ months) where you visit once or twice
- HOA or city ordinance bans driveway containers
- No flat ground for a 20-foot container at your address
- Looking for the lowest possible $/mo ($65 vs $100 annual)
Around the beginning and end of the school year we usually hear from Upper Iowa University students who need temporary storage between leases or over the summer. Those shorter rentals are a common reason people from Fayette choose us.
