Rental Terms & Conditions
Totes on the Move, LLC · Fairhope, Alabama · Effective at time of booking · Last updated 2026
By submitting a booking form or signing a rental agreement, you agree to all terms below.
The Short Version
We deliver clean totes to your door. You use them for up to 2 weeks, then we pick everything up. The rental fee is non-refundable once delivered. You're responsible for the totes while you have them — $25/tote replacement fee for damaged, lost, or unreturned totes, charged to your card on file. Extensions are available by the week. That's the gist — full details below.
1. Rental Period & Fees
1
Standard Rental Period
The standard rental period is fourteen (14) days from the date of delivery. The rental fee covers the full 14-day period regardless of early return.
2
Non-Refundable Fee
The rental fee is non-refundable once totes have been delivered to the customer's address. Early returns are welcome at no additional charge, but no refund will be issued for the unused portion of the rental period.
3
Weekly Extensions
Customer may extend the rental on a weekly basis by contacting Totes on the Move before the scheduled pickup date. Extension fees are based on total totes in possession, rounded up to the nearest package tier.
| Package | Totes | Extension Fee/Wk | Per Tote/Wk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 20 | $40/wk | $2.00 |

5
Deposit & Cancellation
A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking to reserve your delivery date. The remaining balance is due prior to delivery. Cancellations with more than 48 hours’ notice prior to the scheduled delivery date will receive a full refund of the deposit. Cancellations within 48 hours of the scheduled delivery are non-refundable. Reschedule requests are accommodated at our discretion — please contact us as soon as possible.
6
Additional Totes After Delivery
If additional totes are needed after delivery, a flat $25.00 delivery fee plus $4.00 per additional tote will be charged. Minimum add-on is 10 totes. Additional totes must be returned on the original pickup date. Customers are strongly encouraged to upgrade their package before delivery rather than request a second delivery, as upgrades are almost always a better value.
