moving - PODS vs truck vs other

We used PODS last year when we moved across town to a new home. I found the company extremely easy to deal with. The POD was placed in our driveway where we loaded it for about 2-3 weeks, then moved to our new home where it sat (thanks to the grace of the prior owner) for another month while some unexpected foundation work was completed.

There is a drop-off fee, a transportfee, and final pick-up fee which are all explained on the website. In addition, there is a monthly storage fee. I paid a total of about 350.00 in comparison to the 2400.00 we paid the moving company for the large stuff, and considered it money well spent.

One caveat--if you go over your monthly expiration date, you'll get charged for an entire month--no pro-rate, though they will give you a couple days grace.
