Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policy Updates	Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policy Updates Description of the Business Triton International Limited ("Triton" or the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, leases intermodal transportation equipment, primarily maritime containers, and provides maritime container management services through a worldwide network of service subsidiaries, third-party depots and other facilities. The majority of the Company's business is derived from leasing its containers to shipping line customers through a variety of long-term and short-term contractual lease arrangements. The Company also sells containers from its equipment leasing fleet as well as containers specifically acquired for resale from third parties. The Company's registered office is located in Bermuda. Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021; the consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company's annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 or for any other future annual or interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on February 16, 2021. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain changes in presentation have been made to conform the prior period presentation to current period reporting. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, including residual values and depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed on an ongoing basis. The Company's three largest customers accounted for 21%, 14%, and 10%, respectively, of the Company's lease billings during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Fair Value Measurements For information on the fair value of equipment held for sale, debt, and the fair value of derivative instruments, please refer to Note 2 - "Equipment Held for Sale", Note 7 - "Debt" and Note 8 - "Derivative Instruments", respectively.

Equity [Abstract]
Other Equity Matters	Other Equity Matters Share Repurchase Program The Company's Board of Directors authorized repurchases of shares up to a specified dollar amount as part of its repurchase program. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, and may include transactions pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Purchases may be made from time to time at the Company's discretion and the timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and the Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and currently has $102.1 million available under the share repurchase program. Preferred Shares The following table summarizes the Company's preferred share issuances (the "Series"): Preferred Share Offering Issuance Liquidation Preference (in thousands) # of Shares (1) Series A 8.50% Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares ("Series A") March 2019 $ 86,250 3,450,000 Series B 8.00% Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares ("Series B") June 2019 143,750 5,750,000 Series C 7.375% Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares ("Series C") November 2019 175,000 7,000,000 Series D 6.875% Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares ("Series D") January 2020 150,000 6,000,000 $ 555,000 22,200,000 (1) Represents number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding. Each Series of preferred shares may be redeemed at the Company's option, at any time after approximately five years from original issuance, in whole or in part at a redemption price, which is equal to the issue price, of $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared. The Company may also redeem each Series of preferred shares prior to the lapse of the five year period upon the occurrence of certain events as described in each agreement, such as transactions that either transfer ownership of substantially all assets to a single entity or establish a majority voting interest by a single entity, and cause a downgrade or withdrawal of rating by the rating agency within 60 days of the event. If the Company does not elect to redeem each Series, holders of preferred shares may have the right to convert their preferred shares into common shares. Holders of preferred shares generally have no voting rights. If the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive), holders will be entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board of Directors and the size of the Board of Directors will be increased to accommodate such election. Such right to elect two directors will continue until such time as there are no accumulated and unpaid dividends in arrears. Dividends Dividends on shares of each Series are cumulative from the date of original issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Dividends will be payable equal to the stated rate per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. The Series rank senior to the Company's common shares with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary.

The fair value of total debt outstanding was $7,034.8 million and $6,536.5 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was measured using Level 2 inputs. As of March 31, 2021, the maximum borrowing levels for the Asset-backed Securitization ("ABS") warehouse and the revolving credit facilities are $1,125.0 million and $1,560.0 million, respectively. These facilities are governed by borrowing bases that limit borrowing capacity to an established percentage of relevant assets. As of March 31, 2021, the availability under these credit facilities without adding additional container assets to the borrowing base was approximately $828.8 million. The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its debt agreements. The agreements remain the obligations of the respective subsidiaries, and all related debt covenants are calculated at the subsidiary level. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in accordance with the terms of its debt agreements. The Company hedges the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of its floating-rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements that convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding fixed-rate and floating-rate debt as of March 31, 2021 (in thousands): Balance Outstanding Contractual Weighted Avg Interest Rate Maturity Range Weighted Avg Remaining Term From To Excluding impact of derivative instruments: Fixed-rate debt $5,057,512 2.86% Jun 2021 Feb 2031 4.4 years Floating-rate debt $1,913,064 1.67% Aug 2023 Nov 2027 2.6 years Including impact of derivative instruments: Fixed-rate debt $5,057,512 2.86% Hedged floating-rate debt $1,697,600 3.57% Total fixed and hedged debt 6,755,112 3.04% Unhedged floating-rate debt 215,464 1.67% Total $6,970,576 3.00% The Company issued the following ABS fixed rate series during the three months ended March 31, 2021: Date Total Offering Contractual Weighted Avg Interest Rate Expected Maturity February 3, 2021 $502.9 Million 1.69% Feb 2031 March 17, 2021 $725.0 Million 1.89% Dec 2030 Institutional Notes In accordance with the Company's institutional note agreements, interest payments are due semi-annually. Institutional note maturities typically range from 7 - 12 years, with level principal payments due annually following an interest-only period. The institutional notes are pre-payable (in whole or in part) at the Company's option at any time, subject to certain provisions in the note agreements, including the payment of a make-whole premium in respect to such prepayment. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. Asset-Backed Securitization Term Notes Under the Company's ABS facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company issue ABS notes. These subsidiaries are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings. The Company’s borrowings under the ABS facilities amortize in monthly installments, typically in level payments over five or more years. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three to nine months of interest expense depending on the terms of each facility. Term Loan Facility The term loan facility amortizes in quarterly installments. This facility provides for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. Asset-Backed Securitization Warehouse Under the Company’s asset-backed warehouse facility, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issues ABS notes. This subsidiary is intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings. The Company's asset-backed warehouse facility has a borrowing capacity of $1,125.0 million that is available on a revolving basis until November 13, 2023, paying interest at LIBOR plus 1.85%, after which any borrowings will convert to term notes with a maturity date of November 15, 2027, paying interest at LIBOR plus 2.85%. During the revolving period, the borrowing capacity under this facility is determined by applying an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment are determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three months of interest expense. Revolving Credit Facilities The revolving credit facilities have a maximum borrowing capacity of $1,560.0 million. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. five

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments Interest Rate Swaps / Caps The Company enters into derivative agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to limit the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of floating-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The Company also utilizes interest rate cap agreements to manage the Company's exposure to rising interest rates by placing a ceiling on the rate that will be paid under certain floating-rate debt agreements. The counterparties to these agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of these agreements, the Company's exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each monthly settlement period over the life of the agreements. The Company does not anticipate any non-performance by the counterparties. Certain assets of the Company's subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for various credit facilities and the amounts payable under certain agreements. In conjunction with the issuance of ABS notes, the Company canceled the following interest rate swaps that were in place to hedge the impact of interest rate changes on fixed-rate debt issuances: Derivative Instrument Date Canceled Notional Amount Funds Received Interest rate swap January 25, 2021 $150.0 million $0.3 million Interest rate swap January 27, 2021 $150.0 million $0.3 million Interest rate swap February 19, 2021 $150.0 million $2.4 million Interest rate swap February 19, 2021 $150.0 million $2.4 million As of March 31, 2021, the Company had interest rate swap and cap agreements in place to fix or limit the floating interest rates on a portion of the borrowings under its debt facilities summarized below: Derivatives Notional Amount Weighted Average Cap Rate Weighted Average Interest Rate Swap (1) $1,697.6 Million 2.02% n/a 4.8 years Interest Rate Cap $200.0 Million n/a 5.5% 2.7 years (1) The impact of forward starting swaps will increase total notional amount by $350.0 million and increase the weighted average remaining term to 5.8 years. Unrealized losses of $28.6 million related to interest rate swap and cap agreements included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are expected to be recognized in Interest and debt expense over the next twelve months. The following table summarizes the impact of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income on a pretax basis (in thousands): Three Months Ended Financial statement caption 2021 2020 Non-Designated Derivative Instruments Realized (gains) losses Other (income) expense, net $ — $ (235) Unrealized (gains) losses Other (income) expense, net $ — $ 297 Designated Derivative Instruments Realized (gains) losses Interest and debt (income) expense $ 7,570 $ 1,259 Unrealized (gains) losses Comprehensive (income) loss $ (65,408) $ 129,614 Fair Value of Derivative Instruments The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its interest rate swap and cap agreements, using Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future values to a single discounted present value. The Level 2 inputs for the interest rate swap and cap valuations are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). In response to the expected phase out of LIBOR, the Company continues to work with its counterparties to identify an alternative reference rate. Substantially all of the Company's debt agreements already include transition language, and the Company also adopted various practical expedients which will facilitate the transition. The Company presents the fair value of derivative financial instruments on a gross basis as a separate line item on the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has no material non-designated instruments.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment and Geographic Information	Segment and Geographic Information Segment Information The Company operates its business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two operating segments which also represent its reporting segments: • Equipment leasing - the Company owns, leases and ultimately disposes of containers and chassis from its lease fleet. • Equipment trading - the Company purchases containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resells these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment. Included in the equipment trading segment revenues are leasing revenues from equipment purchased for resale that is currently on lease until the containers are dropped off. These operating segments were determined based on the chief operating decision maker's review and resource allocation of the products and services offered. The following tables summarizes our segment information and the consolidated totals reported (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Equipment Equipment Totals Equipment Equipment Totals Total leasing revenues $ 343,805 $ 2,938 $ 346,743 $ 321,037 $ 431 $ 321,468 Trading margin — 8,141 8,141 — 1,933 1,933 Net gain on sale of leasing equipment 21,967 — 21,967 4,077 — 4,077 Depreciation and amortization expense 143,137 170 143,307 132,518 177 132,695 Interest and debt expense 54,221 402 54,623 68,699 303 69,002 Segment income (loss) before income taxes (1) 142,189 9,386 151,575 81,517 1,393 82,910 Purchases of leasing equipment and investments in finance leases (2) $ 579,211 $ — $ 579,211 $ 62,406 $ — $ 62,406 (1) Segment income before income taxes excludes unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments and debt termination expense.

Certain administrative expenses have been allocated between segments based on an estimate of services provided to each segment. A portion of the Company's equipment purchased for resale in the equipment trading segment may be leased for a period of time and is reflected as leasing equipment as opposed to equipment held for sale and the cash flows associated with these transactions are reflected as purchases of leasing equipment and proceeds from the sale of equipment in investing activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Geographic Segment Information The Company generates the majority of its leasing revenues from international containers which are deployed by its customers in a wide variety of global trade routes. The majority of the Company's leasing related revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars.

Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, including residual values and depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed on an ongoing basis. The Company's three largest customers accounted for 21%, 14%, and 10%, respectively, of the Company's lease billings during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements For information on the fair value of equipment held for sale, debt, and the fair value of derivative instruments, please refer to Note 2 - "Equipment Held for Sale", Note 7 - "Debt" and Note 8 - "Derivative Instruments", respectively.
