Moving Storage Companies Overcharge vs. Quote and Make Unauthorized Post-Return Charges

Portable storage rental companies charge amounts significantly above quoted prices at delivery, then continue billing customers' cards after equipment is returned with no explanation. Customers have no built-in recourse mechanism and must dispute through credit card chargebacks. The gap is in price transparency and post-service charge authorization — not addressable through third-party software without carrier cooperation.
