According to PODS customers we interviewed through our Better Moves Project, their long-distance moves cost between $2,836 and $5,090.

On average, PODS isn’t always the cheapest option, but their prices are reasonable. What’s more, their complimentary storage and lax cancellation policy add a lot of value.

For local moves (up to 50 miles), PODS offers eight-, 12-, and 16-foot container sizes. Their 12-foot container is only available for local moves, though, meaning you’ll have to opt for an eight-foot or 16-foot container for long-distance moves.

• Container sizes: Eight-foot, 12-foot (local only), 16-foot
• Container material: Steel frame, weather-resistant polymer siding
• Climate-controlled storage: No
• Capacity: 402–835 cubic feet, 4,200–5,200 pounds

U-Pack’s pricing is based on the trailer space you take up and the distance you’re moving. Our readers paid between $2,352 and $6,109 for their long-distance moves with U-Pack.

U-Pack offers two size options: an eight-foot ReloCube for smaller moves and a 28-foot moving trailer for moving larger households.

• Container sizes: Eight-foot ReloCube, 28-foot trailer
• Container material: Steel
• Climate-controlled storage: No
• Capacity: 308 cubic feet, 2,500 pounds (ReloCube); 1,944 cubic feet, 22,500 pounds (trailer)

MovingYourself doesn’t offer instant online pricing like some of their competitors. Their costs are based on the distance of your move and the amount of trailer space you use.

MovingYourself is a good option for long-distance moves because of their large trailer sizes. Customers can reserve as much space as they need and even transport a car inside the trailer, making them ideal for cross-country moves with a lot of belongings.

• Container sizes: 53-foot moving truck
• Container material: Metal
• Climate-controlled storage: No
• Capacity: Varies depending on the space used

1-800-PACK-RAT offers competitive rates, especially for cross-country moves. Our readers have reported paying $4,000 to $7,300 for their long-distance moves.

Unlike some competitors, 1-800-PACK-RAT doesn’t provide instant online quotes. Instead, you’ll need to request an estimate over the phone, but ther price-matching policy can help lower costs.

1-800-PACK-RAT has three container sizes, similar to PODS. Their all-steel construction makes their containers more durable than most competitors.

• Container sizes: Eight-foot, 12-foot, 16-foot
• Container material: All-steel construction
• Climate-controlled storage: Yes (at some locations)
• Capacity: 404–830 cubic feet, 4,000–6,000 pounds

Zippy Shell’s services are moderately priced. The cost of your move will be impacted by the number of containers you need and the distance of your move. For reference, our reader Danielle reported paying $2,703 for her three-bedroom move from Virginia to Florida.

Like 1-800-PACK-RAT, Zippy Shell doesn’t provide online quotes, so you’ll need to call them to lock in a quote.

Zippy Shell offers two container sizes, as well as a 22-foot trailer for larger moves. It’s worth noting that their containers have slightly less internal space than most of their competitors, but that shouldn’t necessarily deter you from considering Zippy Shell for your move.

Container details:

• Container sizes: 10-foot, 15-foot, 22-foot trailer
• Container material: Steel construction
• Climate-controlled storage: Yes (at some locations)
• Capacity: 420–680 cubic feet, 3,500–5,500 pounds

We chose the best storage container companies in Oklahoma by passing each company through our thorough methodology.

We look at key factors like:

• Customer satisfaction: In our rating system, we prioritized moving experiences of real-life customers. The more satisfied customer reviews, the better the portable moving container company fared.
• Services: We considered whether drop-off and pickup were included and if they offered climate-controlled storage facilities. We assessed the weatherproofing of their containers and evaluated their container sizes.
• Reputation: To take it one step further, we investigated each company’s reputation in the moving industry by vetting Better Business Bureau accreditation and U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) licensure.
• Add-on options: In this section, we looked at the available add-on options, including moving labor, such as packing, unpacking, loading, and unloading, plus any available insurance options.
• Service area: We considered the availability of each moving container company, including their storage facilities, availability in major cities and rural areas, and overall state and international availability.
• Payment methods: Moving companies don’t always make it easy to get a transparent quote, pay a deposit through a secure processing system, or take advantage of discounts, so we considered each company’s payment methods.
• Scheduling: Finally, we considered each company’s scheduling tools to assess how easy it is for customers to get their desired moving date.

Yes, most moving container companies allow you to keep the container at home while loading and unloading.

However, if you live in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, or another metro area, double check with your local government about permit requirements for keeping a container in your driveway or on the street.

If you’re moving a studio or one-bedroom home, a small container like an eight-foot PODS unit or a U-Pack ReloCube is usually the best option. These containers fit in a standard parking space and are great for college moves, downsizing, or relocations with minimal furniture.

Oklahoma is known for its severe weather, including thunderstorms and tornadoes, so it’s important to choose a weather-resistant moving container. Companies like 1-800-PACK-RAT and PODS offer steel-framed containers that can better withstand harsh conditions.

If you’re moving during storm season, you should also consider keeping a flexible moving schedule in case of delays.

If you need long-term storage, PODS and 1-800-PACK-RAT both provide secure, off-site storage facilities. Zippy Shell also includes 30 days of free storage with every move, making them a good choice if you need temporary storage between homes.
