How to price tote rentals
Publish named packages. Same price the customer sees. Extra time is the extra week, not a new text quote. Delivery is either in the package or a clear add-on.
Takes about 2 minutes · No credit card
Start with named packages, not a per-tote riddle
Movers do not want to math 37 bins. Sell a stack with a time window: studio or apartment × 1 week, house × 2 weeks. Put delivery in the package or as its own line. Three or four packages is enough to start.
A simple menu
- Apartment · 1 week · delivery in your zone
- Apartment · 2 weeks · delivery in your zone
- House · 2 weeks · delivery in your zone
- Extra week: a published add-on, not a custom quote
Delivery and extra miles
If most jobs are in one zone, include delivery in the package so the site is easy. If some ZIPs are far, add a trip fee you publish. Do not invent the fee in the driveway.
Extra time and keep-a-tote
Extensions should be the extra week on the same order. Buying a tote to keep can sit on that order too. My Rental (their order page) lets them add time or keep a tote without another quote thread, inside the rules you set.
Damage and missing
Publish a missing or damaged fee. On Core you mark a count on the order. You do not need to scan each tote. The customer should see the rule before they book.
What ToteHQ Pro does with your prices
You set the packages once. The site shows that menu. Paid bookings use those numbers. On Core, ToteHQ takes 10% of each charge until a $99 monthly cap. After the cap, 0% until the 1st. That share is taken on the same payment — not a second checkout. That is not a second customer price.
FAQ
- How much should a tote package cost?
- It depends on your city, stack size, and whether delivery is included. Start with 3–4 named packages. Watch what sells out. Raise when you are full, not when you are scared.
- Should I charge per tote?
- You can. Most movers book faster on a named stack. Per-tote quotes turn into long texts.
- Do I need a calculator on my site?
- No. A clear menu plus extra-week and delivery rules is enough. ToteHQ shows the same price you set.
