Self storage units vs PODS storage containers

Public storage, U-Haul Storage, and extra space just don’t compare.

Moving stuff into storage shouldn’t take an entire weekend—and now it doesn’t have to. PODS eliminates the need for driving by delivering a sturdy, steel-framed, weather-resistant container to your door.

Take all the time you need to load it. We’ll pick it up and drive it to one of our secure and climate-controlled storage facilities where we keep it until you need it again. Then we drive it back to you. Does your local self-storage facility do that?

Remodeling and renovations

Got a home remodeling project coming up? PODS on-site storage units are perfect for keeping things safely out of the way, but still close and easily accessible 24/7.

Extend your garage

Need a little extra room? No problem. Our containers offer convenient storage, whether you're having a really, really big garage sale, or just need extra space for a home improvement project.

Storage delivered to you

No more loading your things on a truck, only to drive across town to load it all in a storage unit. PODS containers are delivered to your home where you only need to load it up once.

Declutter and stay organized

Need a little help containing the chaos? On-site storage units help create the space you need to keep your stuff organized during any transition—personal, professional, or family-related.
