What You Actually Get for the Price
The totes are industrial-strength plastic, the same bins used by commercial movers. Each one holds up to 60 lbs, stacks flat with identical lids, and doesn't need tape. Lid open. Stuff in. Lid shut. Stack.
The dolly matters more than people expect. A stack of 10 totes weighs 400–600 lbs. Moving that without a dolly is a bad time. It's included because it should be.
The 14-day window is intentional. We drop off 7 days before your move date so you have a full week to pack at a normal pace. After move day, you have another full week to unpack before we come collect. No rushing the unpack at midnight.
How It Compares to Buying Cardboard Boxes
Most people underestimate what cardboard costs. You're not just buying boxes; you're buying tape, markers, mattress bags, and then figuring out what to do with 40 flattened boxes at your new place. Brampton doesn't pick up cardboard in bulk on most collection days.
Here's a realistic cost for a 2-bedroom move using cardboard:
| Item | Cardboard Route | ToteMove |
|---|---|---|
| Boxes / totes | ~$120 (45 boxes, mixed sizes) | Included in $189 |
| Packing tape (3–4 rolls) | ~$20 | $0 |
| Dolly rental (2 days) | ~$40–$60 | $0 |
| Disposal / junk removal | ~$40–$80 | $0 |
| Total | ~$220–$280 | $189 |
Cardboard usually costs more once you add it all up. And you still have to deal with the mess at the end.
Extended Rentals: What They Cost
Sometimes moves run long. Possession dates shift. The unpack takes more time than planned. That's fine.
Extended rentals are available at $1.50 per tote per week beyond the standard 14-day window. So if you have 30 totes and need an extra week, that's $45. Volume discounts apply for larger packages; contact us and we'll sort it out.
There's no penalty for asking. We'd rather you take the time you need than rush a move.
Is Tote Rental Worth It for a Small Move?
For a studio or 1-bedroom, the $119 price point is hard to argue with. Twenty totes is enough for most one-bedroom apartments, and you're getting a dolly and two-way delivery included. Buying 20 decent boxes plus tape and a dolly rental gets you to roughly the same number, without the convenience of someone dropping it at your door.
Where tote rental really pays off is the time you don't spend assembling, taping, breaking down, and disposing of cardboard. That's easy to dismiss until it's 9pm on move day and you're surrounded by flattened boxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does plastic moving tote rental cost near Brampton?
ToteMove's prices start at $119 for a studio or 1-bedroom (20 totes, 14-day rental, dolly included) and go up to $389 for a 5-bedroom home (90 totes). Delivery and pickup are included for Brampton and surrounding areas: Mississauga, Caledon, Georgetown, Bolton, Acton, Halton Hills, Erin, Hillsburgh, and Orangeville.
Is delivery included in the price?
Yes. Delivery to your door and pickup from your new address are both included in every package. There are no per-kilometre fees within our service area.
What if I need more totes than the package includes?
Reach out before you book and we'll confirm the right count for your home. Adding totes beyond a base package is available at a per-tote rate. Heavier packers, homes with a lot of storage, or moves that include garage and basement contents often need a size up.
How long is the rental period?
14 days standard. We deliver 7 days before your move date so you have time to pack without rushing. After move day you have another 7 days to unpack before pickup. If you need more time, extended rentals are $1.50 per tote per week.
Do I need to return the totes to a depot?
No. We pick up from your new address at a scheduled time. You don't drive anywhere or drop anything off.
Are there cheaper options for plastic tote rental in the GTA?
Some companies rent individual bins at per-day rates, which can work for very small moves. For most 1–3 bedroom moves, a flat-rate package like ToteMove's ends up cheaper and simpler than tracking daily rates across a multi-day move.
