If you care about your driveway put a plastic tarp under it as it will leave large rust stains on your concrete or pavers, even larger if it rains while there. I used PODS twice moving down here and also use U-Pack twice which is a 30' long truck trailer that they drop off and you put in your stuff using as much space as needed and then you put up a bulkhead to hold it in place. If there is room left on the trailer they will fill it with a commercial or industrial item so that there is no other personal stuff that might contaminate yours such as roaches, bed bugs, etc. from someone else's stuff. I prefer the U-Pack but it's high and you have to use the supplied ramp to get in and out of the truck. One thing to note about PODS is they have a weight limit which is impossible to guess while you're loading it.
