Moving in Berkeley, CA, What to Know
Oakland Movers CA is a locally owned Berkeley moving company serving homes and businesses across Berkeley and the East Bay. Because we move here every week, we plan around student and faculty moves, hillside homes, and tight one-way streets near campus, so the truck is in the right spot, the paperwork is done, and your Berkeley move stays on schedule.
What to plan for when moving in Berkeley
In Berkeley the real variables are permit-only parking near campus that fills up fast on move weekends, steep Northside and hills driveways too tight for a 26-foot truck, and the summer student turnover when movers get booked out. We shuttle with a smaller truck where the big rig cannot fit and pull a temporary no-parking permit from the City of Berkeley a few days ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you move within Berkeley?
Yes, Berkeley local moves are our bread and butter, billed by the hour from $119/hr with a written estimate. We also handle long-distance moves out of Berkeley.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed and insured California household-goods mover, and your belongings stay with our own crew, never a broker. Ask for our license and insurance details anytime, and we will walk you through valuation and coverage options before you book.
Do you offer packing and supplies?
We offer full-service or partial packing with quality boxes, wrap, and blankets, and we can pack just the fragile or high-value items if you would rather do the rest yourself.
How is the price calculated, and when does the clock start?
You pay for the crew and truck by the hour. After the first hour we bill by the minute, so you only pay for the time actually used. We tell you upfront how travel time is handled and what the hourly rate is for your crew size, no meter games.
What won't you move?
For safety and legal reasons we cannot take hazardous materials such as propane, paint, chemicals, or ammunition, plus perishable food, plants, and live animals. Tell us about anything unusual or high-value up front so we plan the right crew and gear.
Can you move a piano, safe, or antiques?
Yes. Pianos, gun safes, antiques, and fine art are moved by trained specialists with the right dollies, straps, and padding, and custom crating when it is needed.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Yes. Reschedule or cancel with 48 or more hours notice and your deposit is fully refunded. The exact terms are spelled out in writing when you book.
