How our wide network of shipping container centres drives down rental costs

Using a shipping container hire company with a single depot in Darwin won’t be cost-effective for a client in Perth or Adelaide (or anyone much beyond Darwin, to be honest). That’s why we have built up a network of depots that hug the coast along the bottom half of Australia. In short – we’ve based ourselves where the lion’s share of the country resides.

Shipping containers are big, bulky items. The longer your delivery driver is on the road, the higher the total cost will be. We have strategically created delivery depots in major cities such as Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide – meaning much of Australia is within a short drive of one of our delivery trucks.

It means your delivery costs when hiring a shipping container will be as low as they can be – and also enables us to offer you a truly local service, even though we’re a global company. We typically deliver using tilt tray trucks, though this can change. To be well prepared for our arrival, please read our delivery guide.

One last tip to keep costs down even further: go with the flow! While we’re happy to meet specific requests of every kind, the cheapest option for you will always be to rent a standard container that we have in stock at your local depot.

When only a precise model will do, we’ll move mountains to get it for you. But if you don’t care about the colour and are flexible on size, then ask us what’s available today at a great price. You won’t be disappointed!

When to choose shipping container rental?

Whether you’re relocating, expanding your business, or managing inventory overflow, shipping container rental offers a cost-effective and hassle-free way to meet your storage needs. TITAN’s wide selection of containers includes both new and used options, providing you with flexibility in terms of both budget and functionality.

Looking to buy containers instead of renting? TITAN offers affordable solutions for both new shipping containers for sale and used models, ensuring there’s an option for every budget.

One-Way deliveries

TITAN is a global company – which is great news if you’re renting a shipping container to transport goods one way and have no need to bring the container back.

Much like when renting a car from Paris and dropping it off in Barcelona when flying home at the end of a European holiday, you can book one-way rentals from us to multiple destinations all over the world – as far away as the US.

Your rental fee will be priced from the time you take collection of your shipping container to the time it is returned to one of our depots overseas.

Understanding ‘demurrage’ – and why we do not charge you for it

International shipping is complex. The number of different entities engaged in moving containers from one country to another can seem staggering, and adhering to rigid time-frames that involve so many moving parts is rarely easy.

Protection is offered to ports, warehouses and shipping line owners in the form of “demurrage” fees, which are payable when problems mean that the loading/unloading of cargo to or from the shipping line container is delayed beyond a pre-agreed cut-off point.

When delays like this happen, shipping interests charge ‘demurrage’ as a penalty for engaging their container(s) longer than permitted. ‘Demurrage’ rates vary around the world but are often extremely high and can rapidly become hundreds or even thousands of dollars (or the local equivalent).

A more flexible approach 

If your shipments are often much more expensive due to demurrage penalties, then TITAN has a potential solution.

Instead of loading shipping line containers, you can consider using shippers’ own containers (SOC). The freight charges from the shipping line might be higher, but the total costs will probably be lower.

You can buy the container at origin and sell at destination, or choose our 1-way rental option, which is available on all major and many minor trade routes.

We offer 20ft and 40ft standard and high cube ISO containers as well as open top and flat rack container types. All containers are supplied in cargo-worthy condition and with valid CSC (Container Safety Convention) plates.

Using SOC is often the premier solution for project shipments and for shipments to distant locations where there can be massive savings on empty equipment return.

FAQs about shipping containers

What is a shipping container?

A shipping container is a large rectangular box made from toughened steel. Designed for international shipping, they are commonly seen stacked on cargo vessels worldwide.

With a set of lockable double doors at one end, they are widely available in 20ft and 40ft lengths, though other sizes are available. Specialist shipping containers exist, too, such as open-top containers, which have no roof, and side door containers, which have an extra set of doors that fully open along one side.
