Pack at your own pace
Your first 30 days are included, then rent monthly if needed. Need help loading? We can connect you with pros.
Next stop: your new home
We'll deliver to your new home whenever you're ready. Need storage between homes? You have the option to keep your container at one of our secure Storage Centers.
Benefits of Moving & Storing With PODS
PODS is a no-contact service
There's no need to meet the driver or be present when we deliver or pick up your container. Plus, you have the only key, so you’re the only one who handles your stuff.
PODS has a damage claims rate of less than 2%**
With PODS your belongings are loaded once and unloaded at your destination. Plus, with your own container, your belongings remain separate from others', ensuring their safety throughout the journey. This is unlike traditional movers where items are frequently loaded and unloaded, increasing the risk of breakage.
Don't worry about the driving
Save yourself the hassle of renting a truck, so you can focus on more important things.
Flexible, easy storage options
Keep your container in your driveway for 24/7 access or at a secure PODS Storage Center.
You control the schedule – so you can take your time
You pick your dates, and you can keep your container as long as you need.
