Step by step guide on How to book a container and request a quote

Booking a shipping container online no longer requires navigating countless providers or switching between various freight websites. Thanks to our streamlined platform, you can now book a shipping container online, compare rates, instantly request a quote and track shipments in real-time, all in one place. Whether you’re shipping from New York, Shanghai or Rotterdam, everything is handled through one central dashboard.

1. Choose your route 

Start by entering the origin and destination of your freight. Simply select your desired ports. Our platform connects with major international hubs, offering shipping options to cities like Shanghai, New York, Dubai, and beyond. Whether it’s import or export, this centralized system removes the need to cross-check availability across different freight forwarders.

2. Enter shipment details

Next, fill in your cargo characteristics such as weight and insurance value. The system will automatically calculate your insurance premium instantly, giving you full pricing visibility right from the beginning.

Now select your preferred shipping date, choose the right container type and set your preferred currency for accurate pricing in your local terms.

You’ll also specify the commodity type you’re shipping so carriers can match your cargo with appropriate handling options. Although we work with 15+ major carriers, there's no need to select just one. Instead, you can choose a carrier alliance to compare routes and services, saving time, maximizing flexibility and expand your shipping options.

3. Compare freight options and pricing

Once your preferences are set, the system presents a full overview of available freight options, including transit times, total cost, and carrier conditions.

We offer transparent insights into price calculation, making it easier to book the right container without second-guessing. You can view and compare multiple routes instantly, making it easy to select the option that best fits your logistics goals, whether you're prioritizing speed, cost-efficiency, or both.

4. Customize your quote

Once you have selected your preferred shipping option, our platform allows you to customize your quote further. It calculates everything instantly, ensuring complete transparency regarding costs. Instead of dealing with surprise fees or waiting for manual adjustments from different providers, you get a clear, all-inclusive quote within minutes.

5. Submit your request

With your quote ready, submit your booking request. In just seconds, the platform returns an all-in quotation, including freight charges, terminal handling, and documentation. No email chains, no back-and-forth, and no waiting.
