Absolutely an expert at his job! He was very helpful and proactive! Noquisi made what seemed like an impossible job, a smooth mission! I will 100% recommend my friends and family to this app before going to local moving companies! - Justin
Great team I hired for a local move. Arrived early, packed efficiently, and took great care of my belongings. A+++ movers - William
They were both fantastic! Super efficient and took care moving all of my belongings. I will definitely be using LUGG for my next, local move. Thank you for your help! - Viki
The movers and experience was amazing- It’s worth the slight extra cost to not have to hassle with a van rental and all the lifting and hauling ourselves. From the time I searched availability on the app to the moment the delivery arrived was only 4hours! There was a team local to pick-up destination ready to go so it was so quick! I will definitely use LUGG again! - Christine
They moved a big piece of furniture from my home to my new office .Then moved my old office stuff to the new office at same address . They were great; very respectful, as I am a therapist, and we all had to be quiet at the new locale as sessions were ongoing . - Margot
Javier and Francisco were very professional, friendly and strong! I appreciate there help moving a huge stove and getting it to a local donation center. I will absolutely use LUGG in the future! - Lilly
Daniel and Clinton were AMAZING! They had to wait an hour for the storage company to let us in to my unit. Please leave me the ability to tip Daniel and Clinton, on the app. They were VERY prompt, polite and professional. I continue to recommend Lugg to friends and those on my local Nextdoor site. Thank you, Colleen Crane - Colleen
Super helpful with getting our local marketplace purchase unloaded and fantastic care wrapping it safely during transportation. Friendly and cheerful service, thank you so much! - Suzanne
Marco & Hugo are awesome! Excellent, professional, on-time, super careful pickup & delivery services for my $5,000 oil painting to a local framing company for archival work & re-framing. I was blessed to have these guys do this work for me! *~ - Helen
Benjamin took a custom crafted solid wood cat tree to a local pet shelter, and got it there on time before their office closed. - A
Guadalupe was very friendly and super considerate. We had some donations that weren’t accepted at the first locale and he coordinated with us and LUGG HQ to find a suitable alternative. Very much appreciated! - Brian
Angel and Juan were professional, courteous, and careful. I felt it might have been able to go a bit faster but I was on move adrenaline and I’d rather have the movers be careful! Thank you very much, you saved me from he last hardest part of my local move from a storage unit. Thanks!!! - Josh
Both of these gentlemen were very thoughtful and polite. They made sure this very heavy furniture was wrapped properly and removed from the home with a great deal of care. They brought all of the necessary equipment to accommodate the move. Upon arriving at the destination, they again surveyed the path and used extra caution to place the furniture exactly where it was going to be. They are a very good team and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing an alternative to costly moving and storage companies. Good for local moves and availability that worked for my schedule. - Terry
These guys are top notch! They really helped us with a number of different tasks and also took an extra trip to drop off our donations at a local church when the Goodwill facility was closed for remodeling and not accepting donations. - Michael
The drivers were great. However, this is the first time I have been dissatisfied with Lugg. I'm surprised that Lugg doesn't provide any instructions on how donations work for the drivers or the customers. I would expect that the drivers would have a list of local places that accept donations, and a protocol for what to do if the donated items are rejected. This process took hours and a lot of calls and text messages with the drivers. I was asked for a backup plan if the donation site didn't accept the items and was surprised that Lugg didn't have this figured out in advance. Then I was asked to contact Lugg support and request a change to my order from donation to dump run. I emailed support, got no response, and the driver didn't get a response either. It's wonderful to have a truck available on demand, but either Lugg needs to have clearly defined procedures for handling donations, or the app needs to make it clear to the customers that they are responsible for making all arrangements including a backup plan if donated items are rejected. - Jonathan
We had an AAA+++ experience our first time with Lugg! Our two wonderful movers came right on time and worked quickly to get a heavy sofa down many stairs and into their truck. They took the sofa to our local "dump " saving us so much time. They were friendly and courteous 👍👍👍 - Patty
Rick and Omar were awesome! They were super efficient and helpful. I highly recommend lugg to anyone with a small, local move around the SF Bay Area. I will definitely use them again! - Mo
Booking this was so easy and much less stressful than having to call multiple local moving companies to get told that they were booked or had a minimum person and hour price. Roger and Rammy were right on time and had everything they needed to get the job done quickly and efficiently (moving pads, dollies, etc). They took great care of my things and even took the time to place the boxes and things I had labeled in the rooms they were meant to go in (bedroom, living room, kitchen, etc). The move lasted about 2 hours and was one of the easiest moves I've ever had. Both men were friendly and personable and I would use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks to all for a great, easy move. - David
Boris and José are awesome. They arrived on time, are super friendly, loaded and unloaded efficiently, and helped move some larger items up some tricky stairs. - Andre
Showed up few mins early. Got right to work. Moved things from one location to the next and unloaded all in 75 mins. Thanks team. - Robb
Jay and Jordan arrived on time with smiles, introductory handshake’s and were ready to work. The heavy elliptical machine was loaded, unloaded and maneuvered through tight spaces to its location inside our house with their skill and strength. My expectations were exceeded hiring much needed help from the Lugg app. The scheduling was easy, the price reasonable and Jay and Jordan are high quality workers! Thank you guys. It was my first time using Lugg and it won’t be my last. I’ve already recommended to one person and will continue to do so. - MARY
Ahat and Caleb were fantastic. They were careful with my items, friendly, and a good team.They loaded and unloaded (and climbed the one flight of stairs) all my things in 90 mins, as well as helped me rearrange some furniture that I couldn’t lift. Highly recommend. Would definitely hire again! 😊 - Kristin
Jimmy was amazing! Arrived quickly, loaded fast, and unloaded fast, too! And Jimmy was very pleasant. - Stacey
I was a little concerned when the seller of the bed frame I purchased sent photos of it being loaded in the truck and informed me the mover had not wrapped anything and had placed the wood pieces on the concrete. But everything arrived okay and he was very helpful unloading it into the apartment. - ANIKA

Enter your addresses to see your prices and schedule your move
Searching for a local moving company in Berkeley turns up several kinds of business on the same page: national moving brands, independent local companies, and on-demand services that dispatch a crew to you. They all price and schedule differently, and which one fits depends on the type of move you've got and the type of move you want. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery platform for local moves within a metro area, where you book movers and the right-sized truck from your phone in about a minute, for a move that needs to happen today or one scheduled up to 60 days out.
Four things matter more than the headline rate: how the estimate gets produced, whether there's a minimum charge, how soon a crew is actually available, and whether the truck comes with the crew.
On Lugg the estimate is generated from your addresses and the truck size you pick, and you see it before you book, so there's no call and no in-home walkthrough to get a number. Labor is billed by the minute with no hourly minimum, and you aren't billed for the time spent driving between stops. Movers and a truck are a single booking, so there's no vehicle to arrange separately.
An on-demand moving company doesn't work out of a branch you visit, so a search for movers near you in Berkeley is really a question about coverage and timing. Enter the pickup and drop-off addresses and you'll see whether Luggers are available in that area and what the move is estimated to cost.
The same booking covers a one-bedroom across town and a few pieces a few blocks away. Additional stops go in at booking rather than as a second job, and Lugg can provide a certificate of insurance if your building requires one.
Yes, with Lugg you can book local moving services in Berkeley with professional movers and trucks, on demand. Luggers can arrive within the hour or be scheduled up to 60 days in advance, perfect for apartment, condo, or home moves of any size. Whether you're moving across town, between neighborhoods, or relocating locally, Lugg makes short-distance local moves fast and easy.
Yes, this is common for local moves! You can add multiple stops to your Lugg if you need to pick up or drop off items at more than one location, like stopping by a storage unit, picking up furniture from a local store or marketplace seller, or moving items to another new home across town.
Mileage is totaled across your whole route, so if your stops add up to more than 30 miles you'll also see a long-distance fee in your estimate.
Yes, for in-building or same-complex moves, book Movers only with Lugg: enter your address, tap Movers only, then pick your crew size. If you enter the same address as your pickup and your drop-off, the app suggests it for you. Luggers can move furniture between floors, rooms, or nearby units, ideal for apartment upgrades, remodeling, or switching between floors. If your things need to ride in a vehicle to reach the new unit, book a standard Lugg instead. There are no hourly minimums, so a short in-building move is billed for the time it actually takes, and you'll see your upfront estimate before you book.
Lugg's weight limit is 125 lbs per Lugger, or 250 lbs per item on any vehicle that comes with two Luggers: Pickup, Van, XL, Box or Box+. Anything heavier needs more Luggers on the job, so book a second Lugg for the same time window. There's no limit on how many items you move, and size comes down to which vehicle you choose.
Yes, Lugg operates seven days a week, including evenings and weekends, so you can move when it's most convenient for you. Book anytime in the Lugg app or on our website, movers are available Monday–Saturday from 7 AM–10 PM and Sunday from 8 AM–9 PM. Perfect for working professionals or weekend move-outs.
You'll get text and push notifications with live tracking once your crew is on the way. You can message or call your Luggers directly through the app. Real-time updates show when your items are loaded, in transit, and delivered. iPhone users can also follow along through Live Activities on their Lock Screen or Apple Watch.
Lugg prices every booking as a base fare for the vehicle you pick, a per-mile rate for the distance between your stops, and labor billed by the minute with no hourly minimum. You'll see your upfront estimate before you book, including a small variable booking fee, and rates vary by city.
The vehicle you pick sets most of the price, so a single piece of furniture in a Lite or Pickup costs much less than a full apartment in a Box. Routes over 30 miles add a long-distance fee, which is already in your estimate, and a Movers only job has no mileage at all.
Lugg does not provide wall-mounting or dismounting services. Wall-mounted TVs should be fully disconnected before pickup. If you need mounting assistance, book a local professional in Berkeley and let Lugg handle the transport.
Yes, your Luggers can help with basic furniture disassembly and assembly during your local move. Crews bring standard tools, but if your items need specialty tools or instructions, please have those ready. Time spent disassembling or assembling is included in your total labor.
Yes, you can add extra Luggers if your move involves multiple rooms, stairs, or heavy furniture. Just book another Lugg for the same time window, and we'll coordinate the additional crew and truck in Berkeley.
Yes, you'll need to pack before your crew arrives, because Lugg doesn't provide packing services or supplies. Box or bag any small, loose or fragile items, including kitchenware, electronics accessories, office supplies and anything that could shift in transit.
Your Luggers bring moving supplies and equipment to protect furniture and larger pieces, but having your things packed ahead of time keeps your move quick, organized and damage-free.
No, customers cannot ride in the truck with their items, for safety and liability reasons.
Make sure there's a clear 3–4 ft path, measure any tight spaces, protect floors, and secure pets. If your building requires it, reserve elevators or loading docks ahead of time. Keep your phone nearby so you don't miss live updates or crew messages during your move.
Lugg movers can take packaging and trash to an on-site dumpster, or move an old item to the curb for city pickup, as part of your labor time.
To haul packaging, trash or old items away, or to donate them, add an extra stop (or stops) when you book, at a recycling center, disposal site or local charity you choose, like Goodwill or Habitat ReStore near Berkeley.
Tip: Donation and disposal centers vary widely in what they accept, so call ahead to confirm they can take your items, and check their hours and any fees.
Every Lugg local move in Berkeley includes professional moving equipment, straps, dollies, moving blankets, and stretch wrap to protect your items and your space, plus a basic toolkit for light disassembly or reassembly. Pickup trucks also come equipped with a tarp for weather protection. Your Luggers will wrap fragile or bulky pieces for safe transport, take care to avoid damage to floors, walls, and elevators, and know how to get heavy furniture, appliances, and other large items through tight spaces, stairs, and doorways. This helps ensure a smooth, efficient local move from start to finish. We do not provide moving boxes or mattress covers. Please have these items ready if needed.
If your apartment building, condo, or HOA in Berkeley requires a Certificate of Insurance, Lugg can provide one at no extra cost. After booking, send your building's COI requirements — including your name, address, and move date — through our contact page.
We always recommend inspecting your items upon arrival in your new space. In the rare event that damage occurs to your item(s) or your property in Berkeley, our Support Team will promptly review the issue, coordinate any necessary repairs or replacements, and work with you to make things right.
To file a damage claim, get in touch through our contact page or use live chat. We'll guide you through the next steps and may ask you to hold the item while we review and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
