What are the costs involved in hiring a shipping container?
You should always have an idea of how long you want to hire the container for as this makes a difference to the weekly rental rate. Short term container hire is largely effected by the price of haulage. This is charged on the initial invoice for both the delivery and the collection by way of a guarantee so if the transport fee was £150 each way you would be charged £300 plus the initial monthly hire fee on your first invoice. Thereonafter the hire is for a month in advance until the container is taken off hire.
