How Much Does It Cost to Rent Moving Bins in Atlanta?
BoxValet
Renting moving bins in Atlanta costs between $109 and $269 for a one-week rental, depending on how many bins you need. At BoxValet, a 1-bedroom bundle (20 bins) costs $109 per week, a 2-bedroom bundle (40 bins) costs $129, a 3-bedroom bundle (60 bins) costs $149, a 4-bedroom bundle (80 bins) costs $229, and a 5-bedroom bundle (100 bins) costs $269. Additional weeks range from $59 to $149 depending on bundle size. A $100 refundable deposit applies to every rental.
That's the direct answer. The rest of this guide breaks down exactly what those prices include, how the per-bin math works, how bin rental compares to buying cardboard, and how to choose the bundle that fits your move.

What Does the Price Per Bin Work Out To?
Breaking the bundle prices down to a per-bin cost shows where the value concentrates:
Bundle Cost Per Bin
1 Bedroom (20 bins) $5.45 per bin
2 Bedroom (40 bins) $3.23 per bin
3 Bedroom (60 bins) $2.48 per bin
4 Bedroom (80 bins) $2.86 per bin
5 Bedroom (100 bins) $2.69 per bin
Two things stand out. First, the per-bin cost drops significantly as bundles get larger — a 3-bedroom bundle costs less than half per bin compared to a 1-bedroom bundle. Second, upgrading a bundle size costs relatively little: moving from a 2-bedroom bundle (40 bins) to a 3-bedroom bundle (60 bins) adds just $20 for 20 additional bins. If you're on the fence between two sizes, sizing up is inexpensive insurance against running short mid-pack.
What Does That Cost Per Day?
A one-week rental breaks down to a daily cost of:
1 Bedroom: roughly $15.57 per day
2 Bedroom: roughly $18.43 per day
3 Bedroom: roughly $21.29 per day
4 Bedroom: roughly $32.71 per day
5 Bedroom: roughly $38.43 per day
For context, that means packing and moving an entire 2-bedroom apartment costs less per day than a typical Atlanta lunch for two.
What's Included in the Rental Price?
Every BoxValet rental includes:
The bins themselves. Commercial-grade reusable plastic bins measuring 27" x 17" x 12", weighing 7.7 lbs empty, with attached hinged lids and built-in handles. Every bin in your bundle is identical — uniform stacking, predictable loading.
Cleaning and sanitation. Every bin is sanitized before your pickup. You don't clean them before returning, either — sanitation between rentals is part of the service.
Labels. Included with your bundle for room-by-room organization.
A full week of use. The rental clock runs seven days from pickup, with weekly extensions available at the rates in the table above.
What's NOT included: tape (you don't need it — lids close without it), packing paper (household towels and clothing work as padding), delivery (BoxValet is 100% self-service — you pick up and return at the Vinings, GA location), and moving labor (BoxValet provides containers, not movers).
How Does Bin Rental Compare to Buying Cardboard Boxes?
The most common alternative to renting bins is buying cardboard. Here's the honest math for a 2-bedroom move (roughly 40 containers):
Cardboard boxes: 40 boxes in mixed sizes runs $120 to $200 at Atlanta retail stores. Add packing tape (3 to 5 rolls, $15 to $30), a tape dispenser ($10), packing paper or bubble wrap ($15 to $30), and markers ($5). Realistic total: $165 to $275 — before counting the time cost of assembly, the second store trip most people make, and post-move disposal.
BoxValet 2-bedroom bundle: $129 flat. No tape, no supplies, no assembly, no disposal.
For most Atlanta moves, renting bins costs the same or less than cardboard in pure dollars — and saves 3 to 5 hours of assembly, taping, and disposal labor on top of it. Full breakdown: Are Reusable Moving Bins Worth It?
How Does Self-Service Pricing Compare to Delivery Services?
Some Atlanta-area bin rental companies deliver bins to your door and pick them up afterward. Delivery-based pricing is structurally higher because it has to cover trucks, drivers, fuel, and route logistics — whether itemized as a delivery fee or folded into higher base rates.
BoxValet's self-service model removes that overhead. You drive to the Vinings location (5 to 35 minutes from most Metro Atlanta communities), load your bins, and return them when done. Your only transportation cost is fuel — typically $3 to $8 total for both round trips.

How Much Will YOUR Move Cost? A Quick Sizing Guide
Match your home to a bundle, and you have your price:
1-bedroom apartment ($109): Covers a typical apartment with a full bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and living space. Fits in a compact SUV in one trip. See: 1 Bedroom Moving Boxes Atlanta
2-bedroom home or apartment ($129): Covers two bedrooms, a larger kitchen, and 1 to 2 bathrooms. If your second bedroom is a home office or kid's room, consider sizing up. Fits in a mid-size SUV. See: 2 Bedroom Moving Boxes Atlanta

What Affects Your Total Rental Cost?
Rental length. Most local moves finish within the included week. If you need longer — a phased move, a gap between closings, slower unpacking — additional weeks cost $59 to $149 depending on bundle size. A 2-bedroom rental held for two weeks totals $208 ($129 + $79).
Add-ons. The Bin Dolly ($10) is worth it for apartment moves with long hallways and any move where you're wheeling stacked bins between a staging area and your vehicle. Equipment Protection ($35) covers accidental damage.
The deposit. The $100 deposit is refundable — it returns to you after all bins and equipment come back in good condition. It's not a cost unless equipment is lost or damaged.
Your transportation. Fuel for two round trips to Vinings. From Smyrna or Mableton, that's minimal. From Decatur or Tucker, budget a few dollars more.
