Need some extra storage but don't want the cost of buying a container?
For many businesses in Namibia, renting a shipping container is a practical way to increase storage space without making a long-term investment. Whether you’re working on a construction project, managing stock, storing equipment or simply running out of space, renting gives you the flexibility to add storage when you need it.
One of the questions we’re asked most often is:
“How much does it cost to rent a shipping container in Namibia?”
At Almar Namibia, our standard rental rates are:
20ft Shipping Container: N$40.00 per day (excluding VAT)
40ft Shipping Container: N$80.00 per day (excluding VAT)
With flexible rental terms, you can keep a container for as long as your business needs it – whether that’s a few weeks, several months or even longer.
Why rent instead of buying?
Buying a shipping container makes sense if you’ll be using it for years. But if your storage needs are temporary, renting is often the more practical option.
Many of our customers rent containers because it allows them to respond quickly when business demands change, without tying up capital that could be better used elsewhere.
Renting also gives you the flexibility to:
- Increase your storage space when business gets busy.
- Scale back once a project is complete.
- Keep equipment, stock and materials secure and protected from the weather.
- Avoid the upfront cost of purchasing a container.
It’s a simple solution that works well for businesses whose storage requirements change throughout the year.
Which size container should you rent?
The right size depends on what you’re storing and how much space you have available on site.
20ft Shipping Container
The 20ft shipping container is our most popular rental option and suits a wide range of industries.
It’s commonly used for:
- Construction equipment
- Tools and machinery
- Retail stock
- Agricultural supplies
- General business storage
Because of its smaller footprint, it’s also easier to position where space is limited.
40ft Shipping Container
If you need more room, the 40ft shipping container offers approximately twice the storage capacity of a 20ft unit.
It’s a popular choice for:
- Warehouse overflow
- Mining operations
- Large construction projects
- Distribution centres
- Bulk inventory storage
For businesses with larger storage requirements, the additional space often makes it the more economical choice.
