What is not on the bill

A deposit. Holding a container costs $0, and no payment is taken when you reserve. If your plans change, cancelling is free up to 24 hours before delivery.

Packing boxes. Every rental comes with 25 moving boxes at no charge, which covers the first few rooms of packing for most people.

A second delivery charge. The $150 covers the trip out and the trip back. Keep the container one month or ten and that charge does not change, so a longer rental only adds monthly payments.

An exit fee. Rentals run month to month with no minimum term. When you are done, give us 24 hours' notice and we collect the container, with nothing extra to pay for leaving.

When you want storage, not a container

Some homes have no driveway to spare, and some people simply want their things stored somewhere else. Our climate-controlled vaulted storage covers that. We keep your belongings at our facility for $225 a month; that price is for your things, not for a container.

Moving a container is one $150 round trip, anywhere in San Diego County: driveway to our facility, facility to your address, or straight to a new address. It is billed exactly like delivery, so the one charge covers taking the container away and bringing it back; there is no second fee for the return leg. A container kept at our facility keeps its monthly rate.

Why the price is published

You should know the number before you decide whether a container is worth it. When we checked the PODS San Diego page on 16 September 2026, it showed no dollar prices; the route to a price was its "Get a quote" container estimator.

We put ours on the page instead. The price calculator asks for your ZIP, a size and how many months, then shows the monthly rate, the delivery and pickup charge and your first-month total on screen.

Questions

Container cost, answered.

How much does a portable storage container cost per month in San Diego?

A Standard container costs $99 a month and a Large costs $175 a month, anywhere we deliver in San Diego County. On top of that is one $150 charge for delivery and pickup per rental. There is no deposit and no minimum term, and 25 moving boxes come with every container.

Is delivery included in the price?

No. Delivery and pickup are a separate one-time charge of $150 per rental, and it stays the same whether you keep the container for one month or ten. You pay it once rather than every month, and nothing more is charged when we come back to collect the container.

Is there a deposit or a minimum rental?

Neither. The deposit is $0 and rentals run month to month, so there is no minimum term and no fee for ending early. Give us 24 hours' notice when you are finished and we collect the container. A reservation can also be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before delivery.

How much does loading help cost?

Our crew loads or packs for $139 an hour with two movers, $189 an hour with three and $239 an hour with four. Every booking has a 3-hour minimum. The movers are One Stop's own employees, and you can add loading help when you reserve your container.
