Default moving pod in driveway is there a limit

Hi guys,
Haven't posted for awhile I have been dealing with selling my house and packing up a Moving Pod to be shipped down to the villages.
I was about to finalize the shipping and delivery dates and was asked if there was a limit on how long the thing could sit in my driveway. Is there a rule? I read the previous threads and only found posts about not having them in the street but not how long they could be in your driveway for unloading. They are currently slated to deliver on the 8th of Sept and pick up the empty on the 14th.
I have a designer with a 2 car plus golf car garage so a big driveway in Tamarind Grove.

Thanks for any info.
Please pardon any spelling errors I can't spell.

We moved here with a POD. There really is no problem. Quite likely you will set the limit to get the POD empty. There are no POD police.

The best answer will come from calling The Villages directly. I believe that technically it is three days but, like most things in TV, it is complaint driven.

happy moving!

When we moved here 4 years ago was told 3 days. But like redwitch said could stay longer but the neighbors need to complain to have it moved.

I believe it's 72 hours same as a recreational vehicle. Our's set longer and no POD police came. If someone complains tell them to pick up a box or two and stop wasting daylight! The boxes aren't gonna unoad themselves.

I had 2 pods when I moved here and I had a problem because the POD driver would NOT drop 2 pods at the same time in my driveway and I have a designer with CG Garage. This driver told me he would not take responsibility of damaging the sprinkler heads. (even if I signed a waiver) ...but I had movers coming the next day to unload 2 pods !! I made a real fuss about it and would not let the POD driver leave until I spoke to his BOSS.... Finally talked to his boss and he told him to take pictures and return to the warehouse. 4 hours later another driver came with my second pod but in the meantime a neighbor I barely new offered to help me unload the dropped pod...so when the second pod came, the first was empty. Fortunately the one we emptied was the pod without the real heavy stuff. The second driver said they could have left 2 pods but it would have taken some time for it cannot be on the grass or street.

We had two in our driveway for 5 days, no problem. The Pod pickup was the issue, they only pick-up on certain days.

Our POD was delivered today and we unloaded it immediately. I want it out of the driveway so our house looks nice. We met some nice neighbors while unloading. Too bad we were so sweaty and scary looking! It's great to be here!
