Container House Rental Price

Admin September 16, 2026

The rental price of container houses varies depending on factors such as house size, configuration, and regional differences, with an overall price range spanning from a few dozen yuan to several thousand yuan per month.

I. Common Rental Price Ranges by Size

  1. Basic Sizes: The smallest 3m × 3m container house has a monthly rental price of approximately 90 yuan, suitable for temporary office or simple storage scenarios. The most common 3m × 6m size has a monthly rental price of about 180 yuan, capable of accommodating 2-3 people and is a popular choice for construction site dormitories, event exhibition halls, and other scenarios.
  2. Special Sizes: A 3m × 7m container house with a canopy or converted into a double-story structure has a monthly rental price of around 210 yuan. By adding a canopy or increasing the floor height, space utilization is enhanced, making it suitable for scenarios requiring partitioned functions, such as temporary medical stations and small shops.

II. Impact of Configuration on Rental Price

  1. Air Conditioning Installation: If air conditioning needs to be installed, an additional forty to fifty yuan per month is required, with the specific cost depending on the air conditioning power and the supplier's pricing strategy. For example, in southern regions with high temperatures, air conditioning may become a standard feature, leading to a significant increase in rental prices.
  2. Other Configurations: Some suppliers offer customized services, such as increasing the number of doors and windows, laying floors, installing lighting systems, etc. These configurations will further drive up rental prices. For example, a container house with an independent bathroom may have a rental price 30%-50% higher than the basic model.

III. Regional Differences

  1. First-Tier Cities: In major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, affected by land costs, labor expenses, and market demand, rental prices are generally twenty to thirty yuan more expensive than in second- and third-tier cities. For example, the monthly rental price of a 3m × 6m container house in first-tier cities may reach 200-230 yuan, while in second- and third-tier cities, the rental price for the same size is mostly between 150-180 yuan.
  2. Regional Supply and Demand: In areas with concentrated construction sites and high demand for temporary housing, rental prices may rise slightly due to intense competition. In remote areas with lower demand, suppliers may attract customers by lowering prices.

IV. Supplier Pricing Differences
Different suppliers have significantly different pricing strategies. For example, Foshan Jingcheng Housing Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. offers container mobile homes with a rental price of 817 yuan, possibly due to differences in housing materials, design complexity, or service content (such as transportation and installation). Guangdong Guangsheng Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd.'s construction site dormitory color-steel integrated housing has a rental price as high as 6300 yuan, possibly due to its large house area, complete configuration, or pricing for long-term rental customers. Shenzhen Shengbang Integrated Housing Co., Ltd.'s temporary integrated housing has a rental price of 190 yuan, close to the common market price. Hebei Shenhong Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd.'s thermal insulation container mobile homes have a rental price of 540 yuan, possibly due to the use of special materials or technologies to enhance housing performance, resulting in a moderate pricing.
