Once you’ve found a business and you’re happy with their shipping container rental cost, it’s worthwhile to make sure you are prepared for your container’s arrival. There are a some of the things that are advisable to do including: 

• Selecting a suitable, flat site for the container – this should be a space that a Tilt Tray truck can access, and obviously one that you can also easily access to move gear in and out. 
• Depending on how long you need a container for, you may need to consider – to ensure stability and/or installing blocks – to protect your container’s contents in the event of flooding. 
• Make security arrangements. We always advise customers to purchase a high tensile padlock for peace of mind. If you need more extensive security measures, we can advise you on other options available to you.

When you ask about shipping container rental costs, you should be told the price for not only the actual hire but all of the following:

• The delivery of the container to your specified location, if required. 
• Container collection at the end of your hire period
• The security deposit amount and, how much rent you need to pay in advance.

Costs for shipping container hire will obviously vary according to container size and features as well as whether you require delivery.

You’ll probably want to get an idea of prices from a few websites, but be aware of companies spruiking shipping container rental costs at absurdly low prices; you want to make sure the shipping container you receive is clean and safe to use.
