If this is a metal box like a shipping container, you'd have to attaching it to the outside somehow. However the website just says "steel framed" which suggests the sides might not be metal, in which case it might work.

However it's quite possible that something else happened to it that they don't want to admit. Like maybe their driver was DUI and crashed it.

PODS are advertised as having a transparent roof for light, most likely polycarbonate. Not sure if that would be sufficient for an AirTag signal if the rest is metal, but I suspect it would be.

Aluminum frame with fiberglass panels. I put a cellular GPS tracker in the one I rented and it worked fine.

My experience with PODS is it's basically a smaller shipping container with a rolling door.

I didn't test airtags at all but they definitely stack them pretty high up in a warehouse so idk if an iPhone is always going to walk by yours.
