HOW MUCH DOES A PODS CONTAINER COST?

 In Storage

Moving and storage can be expensive – but with PODS, it doesn’t have to be. Whether you are looking to move to a new house or store your belongings, renting a PODS container can save you big bucks compared to hiring a professional moving company or renting a self-storage facility. Let’s break down exactly how costing works with PODS.

What does it cost to move with a PODS container?

PODS containers are one of the most cost-efficient and common-sense ways to move house. To get a price, you’ll first need to figure out (with our help) what size, and how many containers you’ll need.

Our containers come in three sizes as shown below, making them suitable for any moving job, small or large.

Renting a small PODS container starts from $179 per month. This container size is ideal for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment. For a “standard” 3-bedroom home, we would recommend our largest container, which starts at $299 per month. For families with a large four- or five-bedroom home, you would likely need two large PODS containers.

That being said, the number of PODS containers you need really depends on how much stuff you have – you might live in a large home but enjoy a minimalist lifestyle, or perhaps you’re more like our own Office Manager Lisa, who’s confessed to being a hoarder of many things.

The overall cost of your booking with PODS will also depend on where you are moving to, whether that’s a few suburbs away or moving interstate, and whether you also need longer-term storage. If your move takes weeks or months, as some moves do, you are able to store your container in one of our storage centres for as long as you like. Depending on the position of your drive-way, if a container is not able to be placed securely, then additional charges may also apply.

Additionally, you might like to consider purchasing packing boxes and supplies, locks and our content protection program, which will also increase your overall quote.
Either way, when you speak to our friendly customer service team, they’ll be able to delve further into your specific needs and provide you with the recommended size, quantity and the total cost of hiring a PODS containers for your move.

What if I need two large containers, but I don’t have enough space in my front yard?

No problem! We understand that not every property has the right clearance for end to end placement (that’s 3.8m width and 4.6m in height, with no steep inclines, low branches or wires) so if you require multiple PODS we can stagger the delivery times of your containers. We’re flexible on pick-up and delivery dates too, for your convenience.

What does it cost to hire a PODS container for self-storage?

There are many benefits to hiring a PODS containers for both long-term and short-term storage. When you choose PODS for self-storage, there are two options – you can keep the container onsite at your property, or store it in one of our secure local storage facilities around the country. The cost will depend on which option you choose, your location and the amount of time you require the container.

If you are only requiring storage for a short period of time, it’s convenient to have the container delivered directly to your location. Storing a PODS container on your property starts from just $145 per month.

For a longer-term storage solution, we’d recommend taking advantage of our secure storage facilities, which also start at $145 per month . PODS also offer Contents Protection, which will give you piece of mind in knowing that your belongings are protected for as long as you need.

If you need extra storage space for an upcoming event, you might also consider hiring a PODS container for a festival, school fete, marathon or more.

How to pay for your PODs container

Flexible and cost-effective pricing is just one of the many reasons why PODS containers are perfect for your next move or storage. PODS pricing is extremely cost-effective, which means you don’t have to pay for anything you don’t need, and flexible based upon delivery charges and storage costs.

Payment is required prior to delivery of your PODS container, after which your billing or “storage rent” will be processed on a monthly basis until you are finished with the container.

PODS accept credit card, direct debit and COD (initial delivery only) payment options. For more information visit our payment methods page.

(Tip: Follow us on Facebook and keep an eye on our promotional offers, which could see you landing your first month of storage at half price!)

    We are relocating from Rockhampton to Melbourne. As we do not have a home to move into yet we would require our furniture to be held in storage for a short time. Although we have a 3 bedroom home at the moment we are not taking everything with us . Also we currently live on a sloping block is there any problem with using the pods in that situation.
    Regards

    I should be moving to the Boonah area from Wacol and may need several pods to be filled over 4 weeks.
    I have many empty plant pots , garden hoses and tools which may fill one pod plus household furniture in another pod plus about 2,000 plants which I have grown for the new place.. They may fill 2 pods. They won’t be soggy with water and are an okay size for fire ant matters. I will need to hire them all for about 4 to 6 weeks.Initially i would hire one and as each is filled I would hire another, The units holding plants will be filled last. and unloaded first, Would you be able to cover that plan.?

        Good Morning.
        We are going to be moving from Burpengary to Bundaberg.
        At this stage we may need to store the pods.
        When in storage are these undercover out of the sun, heat.
        Also do you travel pods up to Bundaberg.

    Hi,

    We need to vacate our current residence in Redland Bay but as yet have nowhere to relocate to (hopefully somewhere relatively local). So we will most probably need to pack up into two large containers, have them stored until we find something, then have them delivered to our new address sometime in the near future. Just wondering how that works. I take it you drop off the container(s), give us time to fill them, then collect and store at your facility ready to be delivered back to us at the new address where we finally find one. Is this correct?

    How is the pricing structured?

      Hi Duncan,
      thank you for your request, we only move our small and large PODS interstate, so i would say the large as this is for a standard 3 bedroom (about 3/4 single garage) you haven’t said where you are moving from.
