PODS PROMOTION CODE
I cannot recommend the use of PODS since they have a less than stellar record of customer service and pricing that is just too high.

Outside dimensions probably don't matter to you unless you are trying to make sure you have enough room in your driveway for the box. What really matters to you is probably how much stuff you can fit into the storage unit. You care about the interior dimensions. So here they are:
