Mobile storage units are fast becoming the way that many people choose to go when it comes time to move their things or to store them. Mobile storage units are great because they are brought right to your driveway and allow you to take your time when packing up your things. The convenience continues when you are all packed up as you simply call the company and they pick up the storage unit for you and either transport it to your new home or store it for you in their facilities.
Because of the growing number of people beginning to see the benefits of mobile storage units and their increase in popularity there seems to be a growing number of mobile storage unit companies popping up. So which ones are worth their salt?

There are pros and cons with most companies, but the three that always seem to stand out as far as service and reliability go are:
1. PODS: PODS stands for Portable On Demand Storage and when it comes to mobile storage units these guys are one of the best. They have facilities in 58 States, Provinces, and Territories in the United States, Canada, and Australia so weather you are moving down the street, across the country, or across the globe, PODS will have you covered. They have outstanding customer service and an 800 number that can be called at any time to assist you. You can get a free quote with them online or by calling their 800 number.
2. 1 800 PACKRAT: 1 800 PACKRAT is somewhat smaller than PODS but they are quickly gaining momentum in the world of mobile storage unit companies. They too offer a toll free number that can be utilized to get answers to the questions you may have. They can handle a move within the city and they can also handle a move across the country. Just like PODS, you can get a free quote online or by calling their 800 number which is of course their name too.
3. SMARTBOX: SAMRTBOX is another fast growing company in the industry. They can handle a move within your city or they can move your things for you across the country. As with the other top two they also offer an 800 number that can be called at any time to assist you with anything that you may need. You can also obtain a free quote online or by calling their 800 number. Their website is very user friendly and there are even a couple of tutorial videos that show the entire process of how SMARTBOX works from A to Z.
There is no doubt that moving or storing your stuff with a mobile storage unit company is the wave of the future and probably a great idea for you should you have the need. But you must be sure that you select a reputable company that will not only give you a good price, but outstanding service as well. You can search the Internet all you like but you will be hard pressed to find other mobile storage unit companies that offer you more than these top three.
