Rates for Dublin apartments and homes

Studios and one-bedrooms can be done with two movers at $145 an hour if the load is very small, though three movers at $175 is our standard and is right for most apartments and townhomes. Detached homes in East Dublin, three bedrooms over 1,800 square feet or four bedrooms and up, get four movers at $235. Expect a three-hour minimum, then billing by the quarter hour, with the same rate on weekends.

Dublin moving cost by home size

Rather than quote a vague starting price, we checked how long our recent local moves actually took, home size by home size, and multiplied by the crew rate. Treat each row as typical, not promised: your charge is the rate times your hours, counted in quarter hours.

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).

In townhome sections where garages face narrow private lanes the truck may load from the main street, and the mid-rise buildings near BART add elevator time to the clock.

Where I-580 meets I-680

Dublin sits at the crossing of I-580 and I-680, the hinge of the Tri-Valley. It has two BART stations, West Dublin/Pleasanton and Dublin/Pleasanton, both along the freeway on the city's southern edge. Dublin Boulevard runs east and west through the commercial center, Village Parkway and Amador Valley Boulevard serve the older neighborhoods, and Camp Parks occupies a large block on the north side. The city has grown fast, mostly eastward, so a move here can mean a 1960s house or a townhome finished a few years ago. Dublin sent us too few quote requests between mid-July and late October 2026 to report a number.

West Dublin and the original tracts

The first subdivisions went up in West Dublin around 1960, and the older parts of town are mostly single-story and two-story tract houses with driveways and mature street trees. Straightforward loading, usually from the driveway.

East Dublin: Dublin Ranch, Positano, Wallis Ranch, Jordan Ranch, Fallon Village

Master-planned neighborhoods with townhomes, attached homes and larger detached houses on smaller lots (see our Dublin Ranch page for that area in detail). Each tends to have its own HOA, guest parking limits and sometimes move-hour rules. Garages face narrow private lanes in some townhome sections, so the truck may load from the main street.

Apartments near the BART stations

The buildings around both BART stations are mid-rise apartment communities, many with elevators and garages. Ask management how moves are handled, reserve the elevator if there is one, and send us their certificate of insurance request; we issue COIs free with the management company's name, mailing address and email. Time spent waiting for an elevator is counted as part of the job.

The drive from San Jose

Dublin is about 25 miles north of downtown San Jose by I-680, over the Sunol grade. We do not charge for the trip to you. Morning East Bay crews arrive between 9 and 11 AM, with a call 30 minutes ahead. Since I-580 and I-680 both jam at commute time, starting outside the peak helps when your second address is in Pleasanton, San Ramon or Livermore. A drive between addresses over 10 minutes is billed at double time, per California rules.

Questions and answers

Our townhome has three floors. Does that matter?

Yes. Interior stairs add time, especially with dressers and sofas. Tell us how many levels there are and we size the crew for it.

We are moving within Dublin. Is there a minimum?

Every job has a three-hour minimum, then billing in 15-minute steps. Short in-town moves often fall close to the minimum.

Can you move us into a building by BART?

Yes. Book the elevator and loading area with management and send us their COI request. We provide the certificate at no charge.

What time will the crew arrive?

For a morning start in the East Bay the window is 9 to 11 AM, and the crew calls 30 minutes before arriving.

Do you put together furniture at the new place?

Yes. Disassembly and reassembly of the furniture we move is included on full-service moves.

Is there a charge for driving to Dublin from San Jose?

No. There is no charge to reach your location.
