Are weekend moves more expensive than weekdays?

Short answer

No. Spartan charges the same hourly rate on Saturday and Sunday as on weekdays. Rates may vary based on dates and availability. We work 7 days a week, but weekend dates tend to fill first.

The longer answer

Same rate on Saturday and Sunday

No, a weekend move costs the same as a weekday move with us. Rates may vary based on dates and availability. The hourly rate for your crew size is identical on Saturday, Sunday and every other day, so you can pick the date that suits your schedule rather than your budget.

4 movers$235/hr$235/hr

The 3-hour minimum and the 15-minute billing after it work the same way whichever day you choose.

Where weekends do differ

The price is the same, but demand is not. Saturdays and Sundays are usually the first dates to go, since that is when most people can step away from work. If your move has to land on a weekend, reach out as soon as you know your date. Our guide to the best time to move in the Bay Area covers the busier stretches of the year.

  • The office answers 7 AM to 8 PM, every day of the week
  • Crews run on Sundays too
  • Arrival windows do not shift on weekends: 8-10 AM for the South Bay and Peninsula, 9-11 AM for San Francisco and the East Bay

Getting a weekend move booked smoothly

To reserve your date, based on availability, we may require a deposit of one hour at your crew's hourly rate. The deposit is non-refundable and is applied to your final bill. Cancellations must be made at least 7 days before your move. To lock it in, send us:

  • Your preferred date and a backup date if you have one
  • Pickup and drop-off zip codes
  • The size of the home in bedrooms and rough square footage
  • Whether you plan to pack yourself or want help

We will reply with the rate and an arrival window, and the crew phones you about 30 minutes before reaching the door.

A midweek move still has perks

Choosing a Tuesday or Wednesday will not lower the rate, but it can make other things easier, such as booking a building elevator or finding open curb space for the truck. Weigh those practical points when you compare dates, and see the moving cost page for typical totals by home size.

Questions and answers

Do you charge a weekend surcharge?

There is no surcharge. Your quoted hourly rate holds on any day of the week.

Can I reach someone on a Sunday?

Yes, the office is open seven days, 7 AM to 8 PM, and crews work Sundays.

Are morning arrival times later on weekends?

No, the arrival window depends on your area, not the day. South Bay and Peninsula get 8-10 AM, San Francisco and the East Bay 9-11 AM.
