Rentals for Monterey Car Week

Every August, Monterey Car Week fills the peninsula with shows, auctions and races. In 2026 it ran 10 days, August 7 to 16, with more than 35 events across Monterey, Pacific Grove, Seaside, Marina, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Carmel Valley and Pebble Beach. It opened with a kickoff in downtown Monterey and closed with the 75th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.


If you are a vendor, a show team or part of a hospitality crew, a rental container gives you lockable storage between events. Rentals start at one month, which covers the full event. A ground level storage container with walk-in access makes it easy to load and unload all week.


Harvest Overflow Rentals

Monterey County is the nation's top lettuce-producing county, and strawberries topped $1 billion in 2025. When harvest peaks, a short-term rental adds space without a long-term commitment:


  • Rent a refrigerated container for produce.
  • Rent a standard container for cartons, boxes and pallets.
  • Send it back when the rush is over.

Street or Driveway? Monterey Placement Rules


  • Street Placement: The City of Monterey treats a storage container in the public right-of-way as a temporary encroachment, even if it stays only a week. You need city approval before it lands on the street.
  • Private Property: A driveway or private lot keeps the container out of the right-of-way and is usually the simpler choice.


Our team can help you understand local permitting before delivery.
