What Comes With Every RVATotes Rental

Moving comes with plenty of decisions, so your moving-container rental should be easy to understand. With RVATotes, every standard rental includes the essentials you need to pack and organize your Richmond-area move: reusable moving totes, delivery, pickup, and at least one moving dolly.



Knowing what is included helps you compare packages, plan your packing schedule, and avoid last-minute surprises. Here is a straightforward look at what arrives with your rental and how to choose the package that fits your home.


Reusable Moving Totes for Your Belongings

Every standard package includes a set number of reusable moving totes. They give you a consistent container size throughout the move, making it easier to organize belongings room by room. Instead of gathering mismatched cardboard boxes, you receive a package selected around the approximate size of your home.

You can use the totes for many everyday household items, including kitchen supplies, books, clothing, linens, office materials, toys, and decor. As you pack, label or group the totes by room so you can quickly direct each one to the right place at your new home.

The number of totes depends on the package you select:

  • Studio Package: 15 totes
  • 1-Bedroom Package: 30 totes
  • 2-Bedroom Package: 40 totes
  • 3-Bedroom Package: 55 totes
  • 4-Bedroom Package: 75 totes

These package sizes give you a practical starting point. Your belongings and packing style may differ from another household of the same size, so review the options before booking and choose the quantity that best matches your move.


At Least One Moving Dolly Is Included

Every standard RVATotes rental includes at least one moving dolly. A dolly helps you roll loaded totes across suitable level surfaces, reducing the number of individual carries during packing, loading, unloading, and unpacking.

The Studio, 1-Bedroom, and 2-Bedroom packages each include one dolly. The 3-Bedroom and 4-Bedroom packages each include two dollies, giving larger moves more flexibility when several rooms are being handled at once.

For safety, keep the load centered, use the dolly on stable surfaces, and take care around thresholds, slopes, stairs, and uneven ground. The included dolly is a helpful tool, but good lifting habits and a clear path still matter.


Delivery Is Part of the Standard Rental

Delivery is included with every standard rental. RVATotes brings your package to the delivery address associated with your booking, so you do not need to find a vehicle large enough to collect the totes yourself.

Before delivery, choose a convenient place where the totes can be received without blocking a walkway, doorway, or shared access area. Make sure the location is easy to reach and protected from unnecessary traffic. Once the totes arrive, you can begin packing according to your own moving plan.

If your move involves a building with controlled access, an apartment community, or a location with special parking instructions, have those details ready when booking. Clear access information helps the delivery process go more smoothly.


Pickup Is Included When You Are Finished

Pickup is also included with every standard rental. After you have moved, unpacked, and emptied the totes, RVATotes collects the rental equipment. You will not be left with a pile of empty cardboard boxes to break down or store.

Before pickup, remove all personal items and packing materials from the totes. Place the empty totes and dollies in the agreed-upon accessible location, and check closets, storage areas, garages, and spare rooms for any containers that may have been set aside during unpacking.

The goal is simple: your moving supplies arrive when you need them and leave when the rental is complete.


Choose a Two-Week or Four-Week Rental

Standard RVATotes packages are available with two-week and four-week rental periods. A two-week rental can suit a focused move with a shorter packing and unpacking window. A four-week rental gives you more time if you prefer to pack gradually, have a longer transition between homes, or expect unpacking to take several weeks.

Think through your full timeline before selecting a rental period. Include time for packing, the move itself, unpacking, and preparing the totes for pickup. Choosing the right window at the beginning can make the entire process feel more manageable.


How to Select the Right Package

Start with the package that corresponds most closely to the size of your home, then consider the amount and type of belongings you own. A lightly furnished two-bedroom apartment may need fewer totes than a two-bedroom home with a full office, extensive kitchenware, or several storage areas.

Ask yourself a few practical questions:

  • How many rooms, closets, and storage spaces need to be packed?
  • Do you own a large collection of books, dishes, toys, or office materials?
  • Will you pack everything at once or work through the home in stages?
  • Would a two-week or four-week rental better match your schedule?
  • Does your move require one included dolly or would a larger package with two be more convenient?

Taking a quick inventory before you book can help you select a package with the right tote quantity and rental period.


A Clearer Way to Prepare for Moving Day

RVATotes keeps the standard rental easy to understand. You choose the package and rental period that fit your move, and the core moving-container essentials are included: reusable moving totes, delivery, pickup, and the package's included dolly or dollies.
