We found no National City rule written specifically for storage containers. Anything placed in the public right-of-way goes through the Engineering Division's encroachment permits.
City sourceAbout 7,700 people live in each square mile of National City (2020 census), so expect less driveway room than in suburban cities. The city's three-mile port area along San Diego Bay is part of Naval Base San Diego.
SourceNational City is densely built: about 7,700 residents per square mile at the 2020 census, with 17,689 housing units. Expect less driveway room than in suburban cities, and some homes may have no driveway at all. Before you choose a size, work out where a container could actually sit.
A Standard 1-Box is 5×8×8 ft with 320 cubic feet inside. It needs a level spot plus room in front for the doors to swing open, and the Large, at 7×8×8 ft and 448 cubic feet, needs more. Measure the space you have and tell us when you reserve. We confirm the placement works before delivery day, so nobody finds out at the curb.
If the only open space is the street, that is public right-of-way. National City's Engineering Division handles encroachment permits for it. We found no city rule written just for containers, so check with the division before you count on street placement.
When nothing on the lot works, you can skip the container at home. We can keep your belongings in our climate-controlled vaulted storage instead, for $225 a month. See how on-site and facility storage compare before you decide.
The city's three-mile port area along San Diego Bay is part of Naval Base San Diego, so your move may start with PCS orders. A container can hold your household goods while you sort out housing at the next duty station. Our page on military moves explains how PPM storage reimbursement works and which paperwork to keep.
Measure the space you have, then reserve online or call (858) 633-8600. We confirm the placement before delivery day, or talk through facility storage if it will not fit.
No ramp and no rental truck to return. Load it over a weekend or over several weeks; rentals are month to month with a $0 deposit and 25 free moving boxes.

Questions
A Standard 1-Box in National City costs $99 a month and a Large costs $175, the same rate across San Diego County. Delivery and pickup are a single $150 charge per rental, there is no deposit, and rentals run month to month with no minimum, so you pay only for the months you use.
You still have options. A container on the street sits in the public right-of-way, which needs an encroachment permit from National City's Engineering Division, so check with the city first. If that will not work, we can keep your belongings in our climate-controlled vaulted storage at our facility instead, for $225 a month.
Yes. The Defense Department lists renting a portable storage container as one way to do a personally procured move. Storage is reimbursable for up to 90 days, not above the Government Constructed Cost, with weight tickets, the storage contract and paid-in-full receipts. Get approval from your transportation office first; our military moves page has details.
