Rental Price of Simple Container House

Admin September 16, 2026

The rental price of simple container houses usually starts at 3 - 8 yuan per day, and the specific price is affected by various factors.

By Size

  • 3m × 3m: For this smaller-sized container house, the rental price generally starts at 3 yuan per day. For example, in Guiyang, a 9-square-meter (3m × 3m) container house has a daily rental price of 3 yuan and about 90 yuan per month.
  • 3m × 6m: A more common size, with a rental price starting at 6 yuan per day. For a regular 18-square-meter (3m × 6m) container house, the daily rental price is 6 yuan and about 180 yuan per month.
  • 3m × 7m: A 21-square-meter (3m × 7m) container house has a daily rental price of 7 yuan and about 210 yuan per month.

By Type

  • Ordinary Fixed Container: The rental price is relatively basic, usually starting at 6 yuan per day. It is a more traditional type of container house with a fixed structure that can meet basic living or office needs.
  • Foldable Container: It offers high cost-effectiveness, with a rental price also starting at 6 yuan per day. Made of high-quality galvanized steel, it is durable and stable. When folded, its height is only 0.45 meters, making it convenient for storage and transportation. Taking a 17.5-meter trailer as an example, it can tow about 18 - 20 such containers, suitable for situations where a large number of containers are rented. This can save half of the freight costs, and the installation is extremely convenient, with two installation workers able to complete the installation of one container in 5 minutes.
  • Packing-box Unit with Glass Curtain Wall: This type of container house has certain improvements in function and appearance, with a rental price starting at 8 yuan per day. The glass curtain wall increases lighting and aesthetic appeal, making it suitable for scenarios with certain requirements for the office environment.

Other Influencing Factors

  • New or Old Condition: The rental price of old residential containers is similar to that of new ones, but the deposit may be lower.
  • Rental Quantity: If a large number of containers are rented, negotiations can be made with the supplier to obtain more favorable prices.
  • Rental Period: Usually, container houses are rented for a minimum of 4 months. A short rental period is not cost-effective for both the supplier and the customer.
