Cargo protection that pays for itself.
Enclosed trailers are the default rental for moving day, motorcycle transport, contractor tool storage on long jobs, and weekend event vendors. Daily rates of $65–$145 and longer rental durations than open trailers (often 5–10 days) make them a high-margin part of the fleet.
Security and tracking, built into the booking.
Everything an enclosed-trailer fleet operator wants on a rental record.
Lock codes that rotate themselves.
Set a master code on each enclosed trailer, then let TrailerBase issue a per-rental rotating code (or push to a smart lock via integration). The renter receives the code at handoff via SMS; the lock resets after the rental closes — no recovered padlock keys, no "can you re-cut my key" calls.
Lock-code automation killed our biggest support ticket. We used to lose two padlocks a month — that's $90 in hardware plus the dispatched truck to swap it. Now the code rotates and we don't think about it.
Enclosed trailer rental questions, answered.
How much does it cost to rent an enclosed trailer?
Enclosed trailer rentals typically run $65–$145 per day. Small 6×10 units start near $65, 7×16 cargo trailers run $85–$110, and large 8×20 V-nose trailers rent for $120–$145. Weekly and monthly rates discount 15–30%.
How do you handle lock codes between renters?
TrailerBase generates a per-rental padlock or smart-lock code at handoff and rotates it after return. The renter receives the code via SMS along with the contract; you never have to courier a physical key or worry about a code being shared after the rental ends.
What inspections are required between rentals?
Standard turnover for an enclosed trailer is a roof and seam check, latch and hinge inspection, ramp-door seal, and floor walk for moisture or damage. TrailerBase surfaces these as a checklist on every return; the trailer can't go back into circulation until each item is confirmed.
Can I track an enclosed trailer if it goes missing?
GPS units with geofence alerts are part of the Advanced plan. If the trailer leaves an approved zone — or goes idle for too long in an unexpected location — the operator gets an alert with the live location attached.
How do I price weekly and monthly enclosed trailer rentals?
Most operators discount weekly rates 20% off daily and monthly rates 30–40% off the implied daily total. TrailerBase handles tiered pricing automatically; the renter sees the right rate based on the duration they pick at booking.
