How it works

Four steps from booking to pickup, with nothing to return to a store.

  1. 1. Pick a package and your dates

    Choose a package sized for your move and pick your start date online. We check real-time availability before you pay, so you always know your totes are actually reserved.

  2. 2. We deliver clean totes and a dolly

    We drop off your totes and a rolling dolly before your start date, ready to pack. No trip to buy boxes, no assembling anything.

  3. 3. Pack, move, and stack

    Totes stack securely on the dolly and in a moving truck far better than mismatched cardboard boxes, and they will not collapse if they get rained on.

  4. 4. We pick everything up when you're done

    Once you're unpacked, leave the empty totes and dolly at your door and we'll pick them up. No flattening boxes, no recycling run, no trip to storage.

Pick the size that fits your move

Every package includes a dolly, free delivery, and free pickup.

Why totes instead of cardboard boxes

Renting totes costs about the same as a stack of boxes you use once, and holds up a lot better in between.

Not just for moving house

Most of our totes go out on house moves, but plenty do not. If you are staging, renovating, clearing out or running an event, the same rental works.

Home staging and selling

Getting a house photographed and shown means clearing out roughly a third of what is in it. Totes stack neatly in a garage or a storage unit, they do not sag or split under books and kitchenware, and they go back when the house sells. No boxes to buy on the way to a showing.

Renovations and remodeling

Emptying a kitchen, a bathroom or a whole floor before the contractors arrive. Snap-on lids keep drywall dust and sawdust off your things, which cardboard flaps do not, and stacked totes take up less floor space in the rooms you are still living in.

Decluttering and organizing

Sorting a garage, attic or basement is much easier when everything is off the floor and in one size of container. Keep what you are keeping, and hand back the totes when you are done instead of storing empty boxes for next time.

Weddings and events

Moving centerpieces, glassware, signage and décor to a venue and back again. Totes stack in a vehicle without crushing, the lids stay shut over a curb or a gravel lot, and nothing arrives held together with tape.

Seasonal storage

Holiday decorations, off-season clothes, camping gear. Rent for the weeks it takes to pack things away properly, then return the totes rather than buying containers that live in the garage the other eleven months.

Offices, records and inventory

Office relocations, file and archive moves, seasonal stock. For larger or recurring projects we quote per job and can leave totes on site for longer than a standard rental. See our commercial page for a quote.

Common questions

How does tote rental work?

Pick a package online and choose your dates. We deliver clean totes and a dolly to your door before your move, and pick them up when you're done. No trips to buy boxes, no flattening cardboard for recycling.

What does it cost to rent moving totes in Lexington?

Packages run from $55.00 to $209.00 for a full rental period, before sales tax, and every package includes free delivery, free pickup, and a rolling dolly. You can extend your rental if you need more time. See every package and price

What areas do you deliver to?

We deliver and pick up for free in Lexington, Fayette County, Georgetown, Nicholasville, Versailles, and Frankfort. Delivery outside that area may carry an added fee.

How far in advance should I book?

Book as soon as you know your move dates, especially during college move-in and move-out weeks in August and May, when demand across every campus in the area peaks at once. Totes are limited and availability is checked in real time when you book.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Yes. Cancel up to 48 hours before your delivery date and we refund you in full, no questions asked. Inside that window your totes are already loaded for the route, so get in touch and we will work it out with you.

What if I need more time?

Extend your rental at any point before your totes are due back. Each package lists its extension rate.

How do I know when my totes will arrive?

After you book, we reach out to arrange a drop-off time that works for you, and again before pickup.

Do you rent to college students?

Yes. Our Studio package is sized and priced for a short move-in or move-out window rather than a full household move. We deliver to students at the University of Kentucky, Transylvania University, Bluegrass Community and Technical College, Georgetown College, Asbury University, Midway University, and Kentucky State University. See student move-in dates and pricing.
