Shipping container prices vary widely and depend on many factors. Some of the many variables that determine shipping container pricing include:
Used shipping containers are sold as they’re depreciated off of the steamship line inventories. Currently in 2024, used 20-foot standard containers can start as low as $1,300, but can cost as much as $1,800 in markets where supply is scarce.
New, One-trip, 20-foot container prices are anywhere from $2,400 to $2,700, depending on availability. During container shortages, you may see prices more than double those averages in many markets.
Specialized shipping container prices vary even more by location. You can learn more in our in-depth article:How Much Does a Shipping Container Cost?
