Alameda County rates and typical totals

CrewHourly rate
2 movers$145 per hour
3 movers$175 per hour
4 movers$235 per hour

Same rate every day of the week. Rates may vary based on dates and availability. 3-hour minimum, then billed in 15-minute increments, plus any packing materials used. Double drive time applies when pickup and drop-off are more than 10 minutes apart, per California rules.

Typical Alameda County move by home size

To show what our rates mean in practice for Alameda County homes, we grouped the billed hours from local jobs we closed between July and October 2026 by home size and priced each range at the crew rate for that size. These are typical ranges, not quotes. Your bill is hourly, for the time your move actually takes.

Home sizeCrewTypical hoursTypical cost
Studio3 movers, $175/hr3 to 4 hours$525 to $700
1 bedroom3 movers, $175/hr3 to 5 hours$525 to $875
2 bedrooms3 movers, $175/hr4.5 to 7.75 hours$788 to $1,356
3 bedrooms, under about 1,800 sq ft3 movers, $175/hr7 to 12.5 hours$1,225 to $2,188
3 bedrooms over about 1,800 sq ft, or 4+ bedrooms4 movers, $235/hr7 to 12.5 hours$1,645 to $2,938

Hours are the middle half of billed hours on our recent local moves for direct customers, July to October 2026, including the drive between homes; account and partner-billed jobs and jobs with our full packing service are left out. Packing materials are extra, and every job has a 3-hour minimum ($525 with 3 movers).

Across the county the spread is wide: a tract house off I-880 usually lands near the low end, while a hill home in Oakland or Berkeley with stairs and a long carry pushes toward the top, and elevator waiting in a building is billed as job time.
