NYC Moving Crate Rental

Rent Moving Crates in NYC — Book Online in 2 Minutes

Clean, stackable moving crates for rent across all five boroughs plus Hoboken and Jersey City. Pick a package, pick a delivery window, and check out online — no phone call needed.

Quick Answer: To rent moving crates in NYC, you book a package online sized to your apartment, the crates are delivered to your door, and they are collected when your move is done. A week of crates for a studio through 3-bedroom apartment costs $119–$149 at EazyCrate, with delivery, pickup, dollies and sales tax all included in that price — and no stair fees or borough surcharges anywhere in the five boroughs, Hoboken or Jersey City. Booking takes about 2 minutes.

The Price You See Is the Price You Pay

Most NYC crate and bin services advertise a bundle price and add fees at the end. We don’t.

Fee EazyCrate Common Elsewhere in NYC Why It Matters
Delivery $0 Distance-based delivery fees The quote you compare must include getting crates to you
Pickup $0 Pickup or restocking fees after delivery Returning crates shouldn’t cost extra
Stairs $0 Up to $10 per flight at national services Walk-up renters pay the most elsewhere
Borough coverage $0 — all 5 boroughs Staten Island and the Bronx often excluded Coverage gaps hide in the fine print
Sales tax Included Added on top at checkout The advertised price should be the charged price

Market fees observed on national and NYC bin-rental services, August 2026. The only conditional charges at EazyCrate: $35 per crate for lost, stolen or damaged crates (normal wear and tear excluded), and a $50 fee for cancellations within 48 hours of delivery.

Every package, from Studio to 3-Bedroom, comes with the same core service. There are no upsells at checkout.

  • Free delivery to all five NYC boroughs plus Hoboken and Jersey City — with no cross-river fee for New Jersey
  • Free pickup when you are done — leave the crates stacked and our delivery teams collect them
  • Dollies included — one to three per package depending on size, at no extra fee
  • Sanitized crates — every crate is sanitized before delivery and arrives ready to pack. See exactly how we clean every bin →
  • AM or PM delivery window — a three-hour window you choose, for both delivery and pickup
  • Weekend delivery at no additional charge
  • No stair fees — regardless of floor or building type
  • No minimum order — pick the package that matches your actual move
  • COI on request — if your building requires a certificate of insurance, we produce one and send it directly to your building

Each crate is made from high-density polyethylene and holds up to 65 lbs. Crates stack and lock without tape — nothing to assemble, nothing to break down afterwards.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Renting Moving Crates

Ordering too few crates

Running short mid-pack means a scramble for cardboard. If you are between two packages, choose the larger one — the price difference is small compared to the hassle.

Waiting until the last minute to book

Booking 3–5 days ahead gives you a real choice of delivery windows — last-minute requests can often be accommodated, but end-of-month weekends in NYC fill first.

Not confirming freight elevator hours

If your building has a freight or service elevator, confirm its hours with management before you choose a delivery window.

Leaving COI paperwork to the last minute

Doorman and elevator buildings often require a certificate of insurance. We send the COI directly to your building — request it when you book, not the night before delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about renting moving crates online in NYC.

Can I rent moving crates in NYC without calling anyone?+
Yes. The whole rental happens online: choose a package, pick a delivery date and an AM or PM window, and check out. Booking takes about 2 minutes, and delivery runs 7 days a week.
What is a moving crate and how is it different from a cardboard box?+
A moving crate is a rigid, reusable plastic container with an attached lid that stacks and closes without tape. You rent crates for the week instead of buying boxes, and they’re collected when you’re done — nothing to break down or throw away. Each EazyCrate crate is high-density polyethylene and holds up to 65 lbs.
Are there any fees on top of the package price?+
No delivery fee, no pickup fee, no stair fees, no borough surcharge — and sales tax is included in the package price. The only conditional charges: $35 per crate if a crate is lost, stolen or damaged (normal wear and tear excluded), and $50 if you cancel within 48 hours of your delivery.
Which areas can I get crates delivered to?+
All five NYC boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island — plus Hoboken and Jersey City in New Jersey, with no cross-river fee. Moving somewhere else in NJ? Enter your address at booking to check coverage.
How fast can crates arrive after I book?+
Delivery runs 7 days a week with AM or PM three-hour windows, and weekend delivery costs nothing extra. Booking 3–5 days ahead gives you the widest choice of windows; last-minute requests can often be accommodated.
What exactly is charged at checkout?+
Your full rental for the duration you choose is charged at checkout, with sales tax included. If you extend later, extra weeks bill at your original package rate.
Do I need to be home for delivery and pickup?+
An adult aged 18 or over must sign at both delivery and pickup. If you won’t be home in a doorman building, crates can be left with your doorman.
What if I run out of crates mid-pack?+
Contact us or place a new order and we can arrange a supplemental delivery. Sizing up at booking is still the easier route — running short is the most common crate-rental mistake.
What happens when I’m done with the crates?+
We collect them from your new address — stack them by the door and the delivery teams handle the rest. Pickup is free and scheduled in the same AM or PM window system as delivery.
Can I extend my crate rental if unpacking takes longer?+
Yes — extensions run in weekly increments at your original package rate. Arrange the extension before your scheduled pickup.
