Shipping Container Hire Prices

How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Shipping Container?

One of the most common questions we get asked is "How much does it cost to hire a shipping container?". This information will help you understand the factors that affect the pricing of our shipping containers, as well as the actual price ranges you can expect to be paying for them.

What factors affect the price of your shipping container hire?

A few factors influence the cost of renting a shipping container. Two of the biggest influences on the cost are size of the shipping container you require and the location you need the container delivered to.

Location also plays a role in the upfront cost to hire a shipping container. For example, if you're located close to one of our many depots that are strategically located throughout QLD and Northern NSW, your upfront transport costs will be significantly lower when starting your shipping container hire.

There are also other variables that can affect the final price such as the following:

  • Delivery/collection method (will you require a crane, swinglift etc), this can increase the transport costs
  • If you want a specialty container or a general purpose container
  • The company you choose to hire from

When you hire a container with ABC Container Hire & Sales, you can be sure that you're getting a competitive hire price. We offer a variety of containers ranging from 10ft to 40ft, and we can deliver them to you wherever you might be located throughout QLD and Northern NSW with competitive transport prices.
