If you’re preparing for a move, one of the first questions that comes up is:
“How much do moving box rentals actually cost?”
Good news – renting moving bins is often more affordable than people expect, especially when you factor in the convenience of having durable, stackable bins delivered right to your door.
As the owner of BINS ON THE MOVE, serving Cumming, Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Canton, Woodstock, Johns Creek, and the surrounding North Georgia area, I get this question often. Below is the clearest breakdown of what you can expect to pay, what affects the price, and how moving box rentals compare to buying cardboard.
Moving Box Rental Pricing Breakdown
Flat-Rate Pricing: $0.40 Per Day Per Bin
Every rental package – no matter the home size – is priced the same way. You simply choose the number of bins you need based on your home size and how many weeks you’d like to keep them.
| Home Size | Number of Bins |
| Bachelor / Studio | 15 bins |
| 1 Bedroom | 25 bins |
| 2 Bedroom | 35 bins |
| 3 Bedroom | 50 bins |
| 4 Bedroom | 65 bins |
| 5 Bedroom | 85 bins |
| 6+ Bedrooms | 100 bins |
You can rent bins for 1–8 weeks, and longer if needed. Most families choose 2–3 weeks, especially for 3- and 4-bedroom homes.

Are Moving Boxes Cheaper Than Cardboard Boxes?
Most people assume renting bins will be expensive — and I hear this from customers all the time:
“I thought this would be more expensive!”
Typical Cardboard Box Costs
- Average 3-bedroom move requires 60–80 cardboard boxes
- Quality moving boxes run $2.00–$4.00 each
- That’s $150–$300+ spent on boxes you’ll use once
Plus, you still have to:
- Assemble them
- Tape them
- Break them down
- Figure out how to dispose of them
When you factor in convenience, durability, and free pickup, reusable bins are often equally priced or more cost-effective, especially for families who value a fast, stress-free packing process.
What Affects The Cost Of Moving Box Rentals?
While pricing is simple, the total cost depends on:
1. Home Size
More rooms = more bins.
2. Length Of Rental
Rent 1-8 weeks. Extensions available anytime.
3. Delivery Distance
Small fees apply beyond 10 miles of Cumming.
4. Optional Add-Ons
Extra dollies help speed up packing.
5. Purpose Of The Rental
Moves, renovations, and temporary storage each vary in timeline.
Our flat rate keeps things predictable no matter your needs.
