Moving pods?

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Has anyone ever used one of those pod-type moving things for a local move? We are moving soon and it feels like it'd be easier to be able to pack incrementally into those, but I don't know if it's worth the added cost. I'm hoping somebody else has done a thorough comparison of the various pod companies already. :) This would be just to move locally, not to store in between.

It's especially easy in Cambridge that allows for convenient resident use of reserving street space, but it does cost quite a bit more than uhaul so I haven't done it for any of my moves but have helped others with theirs.

They aren't that big as well--I've had friends living alone who couldn't fit all their stuff too big for a car in them.

(one move, I rented a uhaul and hired 2 northeastern students @$25/hr to do most of the work--it was still cheaper than just renting a pod)
