Any suggestions for ones that cover the Peninsula? I'd love something smaller than PODs where I could have a lockable box delivered, load it or unload it, and have it taken back, all at the push of the button.

When autonomous cars fully arrive, I'll bet something like this takes off, particularly in areas with small homes like the Bay Area.

You could charge a subscription fee that allowed up to X monthly trips.

No idea, but googling "valet storage" should get you some hits.

Some time ago, in a different country, I used a storage service where they unloaded the box -- a big unit about 2m tall and deep, with enough space for a couch, several chairs, etc. -- on the street and then picked it up again when you wanted, all scheduled via their web app. Very nice system.
