gobox moving pods for hire in Melbourne and Adelaide

WHAT IS A MOVING POD?

A moving pod is a portable storage container delivered to your home for a move. You pack it yourself, at your own pace, and we move it to your new address or store it until you’re ready.

You’ll also see them called moving cubes, moving containers or removal pods. The idea is the same: no truck hire, no removalist crew on the clock, and your belongings are loaded once. gobox moving pods are lockable, weatherproof steel units in two sizes, 17.4m³ and 23.2m³, placed at ground level on your driveway by our low-clearance delivery truck.

MOVING POD FAQS

How does a moving pod work?

A moving pod is delivered directly to your home or business, and you pack it at your own pace. Once you’re ready, gobox either stores the pod securely or transports it to your new address — more flexibility than a traditional removalist.

How much does it cost to rent a moving pod?

In Melbourne a Medium moving pod costs from $240 a month at your place or $299 a month in our warehouse, and a Large from $325 or $375. Delivery is $130 per trip within 40km of our Dandenong South depot (further than 40km from Dandenong South, check your price with our online quote or call 1300 668 688), and moving the pod to your new home is an extra trip priced by distance. Adelaide prices are quoted on request.

Is a moving pod the same as a moving cube or removal pod?

Yes, they are different names for the same idea: a portable container delivered to your home that you pack yourself before it is moved or stored. gobox moving pods are steel rather than plywood, and come in two sizes, 17.4m³ and 23.2m³.

How long can I keep a moving pod?

Short-term or long-term — a few days during a move or several months through a renovation or settlement gap. Hire is flexible with no lock-in.

Can I use a moving pod for interstate moves?

Yes — gobox offers interstate moving pod services between Melbourne and Adelaide. Your belongings remain packed in the same pod for the whole journey, reducing handling.

Are moving pods secure?

Yes. Pods are lockable, weatherproof steel, and pods stored at our warehouse are kept in a secure location with monitored access and CCTV surveillance.

What if I need more than one moving pod?

Order as many as the move needs — larger homes often run two or more, and gobox delivers and manages them together.

Are moving pods climate controlled?

No — but they’re built from weatherproof steel to protect against rain, moisture and temperature changes, which suits most household and business items.

Is insurance included with moving pods?

Insurance is not included in Victoria — check whether your home and contents insurer covers goods in storage or transit. In South Australia, insurance options are available through gobox.

Do you deliver moving pods to apartments and townhouses?

Yes — across Melbourne and Adelaide, including apartments, townhouses and tight-access properties, thanks to the specialised low-clearance delivery system.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - made moving easy, great customer service and very reasonable pricing. Moving houses but with a two week gap between settlements, this made it so simple! I would recommend gobox to anyone, regardless of a need for storage. You can have this dropped off at your current house and pack it for a week or two, then transported to your new home worry free. We loaded a 3 bed home with lots of shed items (tools, camping, garden etc) into the large container - though we didn't load our couch nor our bed as we took it with us for our gap period. If you have a full 3 bed home with lots of shed items, a large and small might do the job!
