No Additional Fuel Surcharge

  • AMS Advantage:

    At AMS, our pricing is straightforward—with no hidden fees. We never tack on extra fuel surcharges.

  • PODS Comparison:

    Many national competitors, including PODS, often include additional fees such as fuel surcharges, which can unexpectedly raise your moving cost.

Consistent Monthly Rates – On-Site or at Our Facility

  • AMS Advantage:

    Whether you store your container at your home or at our secure facility, you pay the same monthly rate. There are no surprises based on location.

  • PODS Comparison:

    With PODS, storage rates can vary depending on whether your container stays in your driveway or is moved to one of their storage centers. This can lead to inconsistent monthly pricing and extra fees.

24-Hour Gated Access with No Appointments Needed

  • AMS Advantage:

    We understand that life moves fast. That’s why AMS offers 24/7 gated access to your storage container at our facility—no appointment required.

  • PODS Comparison:

    When PODS stores your container at one of their centers, you must schedule access with 24–48 hours’ notice, limiting your convenience.

Larger Container Options – Up to 20 Feet

Our portable storage units Austin provide ample space for all your storage needs, ensuring convenience and flexibility.MS offers 20-foot containers that are ideal for larger moves or for storing the contents of a bigger home.

  • PODS Comparison:

    PODS limits you to container sizes of 8, 12, or 16 feet. If you’re moving a larger household, you might find yourself renting multiple units instead of one spacious container.

100% Steel Construction for Maximum Durability

  • AMS Advantage:

    Our containers are built entirely from steel, ensuring strength, longevity, and enhanced security for your belongings.

  • PODS Comparison:

    PODS containers use a steel frame with aluminum or plastic skin panels. While weather-resistant, they aren’t constructed 100% of steel, which may affect long-term durability.

Rodent- and Waterproof Design

  • AMS Advantage:

    Our storage units are engineered to be both rodent- and waterproof. This extra layer of protection keeps pests and water damage at bay—so you can store your valuables with complete peace of mind.

  • PODS Comparison:

    Although PODS containers are designed to be weather-resistant, they are not always rodent-proof, and there have been instances of pests or leaks. With AMS, your items are safeguarded against these common issues.

Locally Owned and Operated

  • AMS Advantage:

    AMS is proudly locally owned and operated right here in Austin. We’re invested in our community and committed to providing personalized service that reflects our hometown values.

  • PODS Comparison:

    PODS is part of a large national network, owned by a pension plan. This can make their service feel impersonal and less responsive to local needs.

We Treat You Like Family, Not Just a Customer

  • AMS Advantage:

    At AMS, every client is part of our family. We know your move is a big deal, and we’re dedicated to treating you with the warmth, care, and attention you deserve.

  • PODS Comparison:

    As a big national brand, PODS often operates on volume. You may feel like just another number in their system rather than the valued individual you are.

Choose AMS for your Austin storage and moving needs—experience transparent pricing, unmatched convenience, and personal service that truly cares about you and your belongings.
