In their own words
I would never use the Daytona or any PODS again. They don't respond to any customer requests even though it goes through thier "Corporate" system. Driver was great but I requested an AM delivery, my house is literally 4 miles away and I got the POD after 5pm. Tried the phone tree with no help, was promised a call back, nothing. Went to the facility to ask for the AM delivery was told the best they could was between 1pm and 2pm. I got it after 5pm... ended up with 2 movers with nothing to do.

So far it's been just so easy. But I haven't had them pick it up yet. Yeah! It's been hell since the 1st bill. I have been overcharged for 6 months. They refunded my credit card the difference after calling every day and then they billed my account for the wrong amount this month and said that my rate changed. NOT!!! I guess it's back to calling everyday. I just might dispute it with the cc . NEVER EVER RECOMMEND PODS AGAIN.

I had an overall terrible experience. PODS was not responsive, their representative had no follow through, and the representatives had a lot of errors which caused my things to be delivered a month late.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, Charles. We certainly don’t like to see this. If you’d like to chat, please email [email removed] with your customer ID and additional details.
It should be criminal that this company places your card on Autopay and charges your account the first minute of the subsequent month. This is the second time I have had to dispute the charge to my account. This occurrence was worse than their first offense because their driver came early for pickup (outside of the estimated 3 hour time frame) and did not call us. Our house is currently under reno so a trailer was on the side of the POD with greater than 3 feet distance between the two items.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Jennifer. We personally read every review and work hard to respond in a timely manner, but Google just recently published your review after temporarily disabling the feature due to COVID-19.
EDIT 9/14: My POD was picked up about a month ago and a saga has ensued. Upon pickup, another months charge was pulled out so here we are a month later and I'm having to call every three-five days to figure out what's going on. First phone call: Yes your money will be refunded. Second: You were signed up for a six month contract we have to out a dispute in. (The problem/dispute is that I never...would never...just straight-up NEVER had the six months phrase/wording/timing mentioned to me?
We're dedicated to delivering exceptional service, and we're delighted to have met your expectations, Jordan! We can't wait to serve you again in the future!
The Staff is very friendly and professional... The reason for one star, is for the wonderful staff only. The MINUS of 4-Stars was was for the aggravation their answering system and website caused me. Horrendous! You go to the website, no pricing given...you leave your personal info and then a associate calls you back with a phone number for you to call, (if you weren't available to answer their call). No extension given, a robo call.

A complete nightmare. I would leave zero stars if I could. I had a local move scheduled - same state, it’s only about a 90 minute drive. Pods picked up my pod with zero communication, and then promptly lost it for 2 days. After 10.5 hours of multiple phone calls over 2 days (6+hrs spent on hold) with zero resolution, my pod was located in a warehouse in Orlando. I had to rent a U-Haul truck, drive there, empty the contents of the U-Haul into the pod and move my own stuff.

PODS was truly a mixed bag. The initial signup process, drop off, and pickup process was a breeze, but after I reached my destination things changed significantly. Despite telling PODS I was moving to an urban location where I'd need their City Service delivery option, they nevertheless transported my container to a location far from the city that didn't offer it.

In their own words
Initial Review: The delivery of the pod to us and picking up went seamlessly. Leo came to pick up our Pod. His communication before he came was awesome. He was on time, he took care with the pod. Was friendly and personable. The pick up experience was great. I'll give another update once the pod has been dropped off to new location.
Thank you, Nella, for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that Leo provided such excellent service during your experience with us. Our team strives for seamless delivery and pick-up, and your feedback truly motivates us. We look forward to assisting you again at your new location!
Les was our driver. He was spectacular! He represented your company well. He went above and beyond to help us open the jammed door. He was fast and completely protected my property. I'm very impressed! Using PODS was definitely the right choice for me!!
We appreciate you taking the time to share this review with us, Jo! We have your back when you need us again!
The process, for us, of renting a storage unit from PODS was exceptionally easy. From making the reservation online, all the way through to having it picked up was very streamlined. Joe, who dropped the unit off in our yard was great about communicating when exactly he would arrive and he was very skillful in driving and maneuvering the drop off.
We don’t prorate or charge by the day. There’s a monthly rental rate. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. It'll be shared with the appropriate teams to evaluate as we continue to improve the customer experience.
I needed to access my POD which was in the PODs Daytona Beach storage facility. The experience of working with Leo who was the warehouse worker, exceeded my expectations. LEO brought the POD to my car, he was extremely helpful with me to get to the boxes i needed and helped me load my car.. I called to scheduled delivery of my POD whuchbwas in storage. The representative was helpful and it was very easy.
