Vancouver container prices
The Port of Vancouver is Canada's busiest, so used and one-trip containers are plentiful. As of late 2026, used 20 ft containers commonly list from about $2,500–$3,800 and 40 ft high cubes from about $3,400–$4,000, before delivery and tax. Long-term rentals can start under $100 a month for a 20 ft.
Keeping a container dry on the coast
Steel containers sweat in the Lower Mainland's damp winters. Add vents or desiccant, keep the floor off the ground on blocks or gravel, and leave a gap between stored items and the walls. For anything that mildews, an insulated container is worth the extra money.
Questions
What is a C-can?
It is the B.C. name for a shipping container, the same box called a sea can on the Prairies and a storage container in Ontario.
Can I keep a shipping container on my property in Vancouver?
Check with your city before you buy. Many Lower Mainland municipalities restrict containers on residential lots or allow them only temporarily, while farm and industrial land is usually more flexible.
