Zip Moving and Storage

The Fun Side of Moving

Home Depot or Rental Pods or Zip Moving

Reading time: 5 minutes

Whether you’re relocating, renovating, or just need some extra storage space, storage pods offer a super convenient solution. But let’s not end it there! As a moving company with so many years of experience, we can offer you a solution that is more effective than renting a moving pod.

What exactly is a Home Depot pod?

A Home Depot pod is a portable storage container you can rent through Home Depot’s partnership with PODS. It’s the ultimate moving and storage solution, delivered right to your driveway so you can pack at your own pace. When you’re ready, they’ll pick it up and move it to your new place or keep it in a secure storage center. Perfect for local and long-distance moves alike!

Home Depot, a well-known leader in the home improvement industry, has broadened its offerings to assist customers who need to move or transport items. Their truck rental services are gaining popularity, providing a variety of options tailored to meet diverse needs.

Home Depot rental prices

Home Depot doesn’t offer its own branded storage pods for rent; instead, it partners with PODS, a popular storage and moving container service. The pricing for renting a PODS container varies depending on several factors, such as container size, distance, and duration.

For a local move:

  • 7-foot container: Costs around $199 per month.
  • 12-foot container: Around $220 per month.
  • 16-foot container: About $220 per month as well.

Additional fees may apply, such as:

  • Delivery fee: Around $70.
  • Transportation fee: Approximately $224 to move the container to the new location.
  • Final pickup fee: Around $65.

For long-distance moves, prices can range between $1,000 and $3,000, depending on the specifics of the move.

Here are just some of the perks and benefits that we can offer you:

  • Versatile and Convenient: With Zip Moving and Storage, you get the flexibility of professional movers who handle everything from loading to transportation, ensuring your belongings are treated with care – something you won’t always get with a DIY pod rental.

  • Safety First: Our trucks are spacious and equipped with top-notch safety features, giving you peace of mind that your items will arrive securely at your new location – unlike a pod that can be exposed to the elements while you load it.
  • Cost-Effective for Bigger Moves: If you’re making a larger move, Zip Moving and Storage can often save you money by consolidating your transportation needs into one service, eliminating the hidden costs that can come with renting a pod and moving items multiple times.
  • Personalized Service: We pride ourselves on our customer service, tailoring our approach to meet your specific moving needs, while pod rentals can sometimes feel impersonal and generic.
