Container House Rental Price

Admin September 16, 2026

The rental price of container houses varies depending on factors such as size, condition (new or used), and rental duration. Common rental ranges are from 3 yuan to 7 yuan per day, 90 yuan to 210 yuan per month, and 1080 yuan to 2520 yuan per year.

I. Rental Prices by Size

  • 3m x 3m Container House: With an indoor area of 9 square meters, the daily rental is typically 3 yuan, approximately 90 yuan per month, and about 1080 yuan per year. This size is often rented for use as police stations or small warehouses.
  • 3m x 6m Container House: Featuring an indoor area of 18 square meters, the daily rental is usually 6 yuan, around 180 yuan per month, and approximately 2160 yuan per year. This is the most common size on construction sites, accommodating 6 to 10 people depending on bed arrangement.
  • 3m x 7m Container House: With an indoor area of 21 square meters, the daily rental is generally 7 yuan, approximately 210 yuan per month, and about 2520 yuan per year. This size is commonly found in construction site dormitories, especially on the second floor of two-story dormitories.

II. Impact of Condition on Rental Prices

  • New Container Houses: These have relatively higher rental prices but offer a better living experience and longer service life. For example, a new 3m x 6m container house has a daily rental of around 6 yuan.
  • Used Container Houses: The rental prices are similar to those of new container houses, but the deposit may be relatively lower. Used container houses offer good value for money, especially for short-term rental needs.

III. Rental Duration and Cost Settlement

  • Short-term Rental: Suitable for projects with short durations, such as construction sites. Short-term rentals are usually charged on a daily basis, with a one-time payment and no additional charges during the rental period. Transportation fees for moving in and out, as well as the rental, are deducted from the deposit.
  • Long-term Rental: If the rental period exceeds a certain limit (e.g., 3 years), it is advisable to purchase the container house directly, as the total cost of long-term rental may approach or exceed the purchase cost. After purchase, it can be resold according to demand.
