Storage pods to rent generally cost between $150 and $359 per month, depending on the size of the container and the region. Delivery and pickup fees average around $75 to $88 each way but can sometimes be waived. Here is a more detailed breakdown for PODS container sizes and costs:

• 8-foot container: Approximately $150–$170 per month, with delivery and pickup fees about $75–$88.
• 12-foot container: About $159–$210 per month, delivery and pickup fees similar.
• 16-foot container: Around $175–$239 per month, with similar delivery fees.

For moves that involve transportation, costs vary by distance:

• Local moves (under ~50 miles) range roughly $220 to $813 depending on container size.
• Long-distance moves can range from $450 up to several thousand dollars for cross-country moves.
• Storage-only rental (without moving) typically starts around $150 monthly plus delivery fees.

Storage pods are more expensive on a monthly basis than traditional storage units, but they offer the convenience of delivery to and from your location, which can save time and hassle.
