How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Shipping Container?
Hire pricing depends on several factors, including the container size, hire duration, delivery location, and container type. Standard containers are usually the most affordable option, while refrigerated, dangerous goods, or modified containers may cost more. Contact our team for a personalised hire quote.
How Long Does Delivery Take?
Once your order is confirmed and payment is received in full (unless otherwise arranged), our logistics team will schedule your delivery. Depending on your location and container availability, delivery may be available the same day or typically within 1 to 2 weeks. If you have a specific deadline, please let us know when ordering.
Do You Offer Onsite Storage for My Container?
At present, we do not offer storage yards or onsite container storage services. Our primary focus is container sales, hire, and delivery. However, we may be able to recommend trusted third-party storage providers depending on your location.
Can I modify my hire container?
We offer a range of standard and modified containers for hire. However, hired containers must not be altered, drilled, painted, or structurally modified without prior written approval from our team.
What if I’m hiring a container for relocation?
Yes, relocation of a hired container may be possible. Please advise us during your initial enquiry and provide the new address. Our team must approve and coordinate any container move before relocation takes place.
I’m unsure what size container I need. Can you help?
Absolutely. Our team can recommend the best container size based on what you need to store, available space, access conditions, and budget. Contact us for friendly advice.
How do I rent a storage container?
Simply choose your preferred container size and contact our team for availability. We’ll prepare a hire agreement, arrange payment, and schedule delivery. In many cases, containers can be delivered within 24 to 48 hours depending on location.
