Explore Sea Can Guys’ rent‑to‑own and financing options—so you can start your project now and pay over time with confidence.
Why Flexible Container Options Matter in Atlantic Canada
Shipping containers in this region often come with large upfront costs—typically $4,200–$4,500 CAD for a used 20′ unit, plus delivery, site prep, and optional modifications . These costs strain cash flow, delay projects, and limit access for small businesses, contractors, and homeowners.
At Sea Can Guys, we understand that flexibility matters. That’s why we offer a full suite of flexible solutions—rental, leasing, rent‑to‑own, and financing—so you can choose what fits your budget and timeline, without sacrificing your project goals.

Option | Best For | Outcome |
Short-Term Rental | Jobsites, events, renovations | Return at end of use; no ownership |
Lease | Multi-season usage without buying | Fixed term with return option |
Rent-to-Own (Lease-to-Own) | Contractors wanting ownership over time | Monthly payments build equity toward ownership |
Financing (Own from Day One) | Buyers ready to own with set payments | Own immediately; pay via formal financing |
How Each Option Addresses Common Pain Points
1. Avoiding High Upfront Costs
- Pain: Purchasing a container outright can drain capital.
- Solution: Rent‑to‑own and financing options spread the cost, allowing you to allocate funds elsewhere—especially for mod work or site prep.
2. Clear Financing vs Lease Terms
- Pain: Lease/rent vs finance options often blur together.
- Solution: We clearly outline the differences—ownership timelines, rate structures, and end‑of‑term choices—so there’s no confusion at signing.
3. Approval and Qualification Clarity
- Pain: Buyers worry about hidden credit or term requirements.
- Solution: Sea Can Guys partners with Financeit (personal) and CANLEASE (business). We clarify eligibility, required documents, and estimated rates up front.
4. Local Supply and Trust
- Pain: Limited Atlantic Canada providers offering rent-to-own with transparent terms.
- Solution: We maintain a large fleet, local yards, strong stock, and clear, competitive rent-to-own plans—backed by almost two decades of Atlantic Canadian service.
Rent‑to‑Own vs Financing: What Path Suits You?
Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:
Rent‑to‑Own
- Monthly payments add equity in your container
- No major down payment needed
- Contracts typically span 36–60 months
- You take ownership at the end of the term
Financing
- Own immediately upon delivery
- Full value financed via lender
- Fixed monthly payments over term
- Interest depends on credit, term, and provider
Our team helps you estimate costs, tax implications, and long-term value so you can choose the best fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get a down payment or buy-out option at term end?
Many rent-to-own contracts are 100% financing—monthly payments lead to full ownership without a large final buy-out. Thanks to our partnerships, financing is structured fairly and equitably.
Will rent-to-own cost more than buying upfront?
It depends on the term and interest. For short terms or fast equity, financing may be cheaper. But rent-to-own adds flexibility without requiring credit checks or large deposits.
Can I switch from rent-to-own to finance?
Yes—you can refinance halfway through the term if your credit improves. We help you transition seamlessly.
