No — we are not movers.
We provide moving box rentals only. You can use your own movers or move yourself.
Yes. RVA Totes are clean, stackable, reusable moving boxes that do not require tape, folding, assembly, breakdown, or cardboard disposal. They are delivered before your move and picked up when you are done.
Convenience.
Cardboard boxes take time to find, buy, tape, label, break down, and dispose of. With RVATotes, you place your order, we deliver the totes, and we pick them up when you are finished.
No tape. No assembly. No cardboard mess.
A lot.
Between driving to a store, buying supplies, taping boxes, packing, breaking them down, and disposing of them, cardboard can easily add hours to your move.

Delivery and pickup are included for addresses within 40 miles. For addresses over 40 miles and up to 75 miles, a $40 distance fee applies per trip—one trip for delivery and one trip for pickup. Distance fees are not taxed. Addresses over 75 miles require a custom order.
Three days before your scheduled pickup date, RVATotes automatically sends an email reminder with the option to purchase a 7-day rental extension.
Use the secure payment link in the email to pay for the extension before your scheduled pickup. Once payment is completed successfully, your pickup date is automatically moved seven days later.
Extensions are subject to availability. If you need another week, you may receive another reminder three days before your updated pickup date with the option to extend again.
If totes are kept beyond the scheduled pickup date without a paid extension, a $15-per-day late fee may apply.
Additional totes may be available depending on inventory and scheduling. Contact RVATotes for current pricing and any delivery charges before an additional delivery is scheduled.
Customers are responsible for totes while in use. Replacement fees may apply for missing or damaged items.

Between the cost of boxes, tape, labels, gas, time, assembly, and disposal, RVATotes is often comparable — with significantly more convenience.
