Sometimes life doesn’t give you weeks to plan a move. A lease ends, a job changes, a sale closes—or something unexpected happens—and you need emergency movers in Oakland fast. Ace Moving Co. has nearly 40 years of experience helping residents and businesses with last-minute local moves, rush apartment relocations, and short-notice long-distance moves from Oakland.
Our Oakland movers know the city’s streets, parking rules, and building policies, so we can step in quickly, create a plan, and move you safely—even on tight timelines. Whether you’re moving a studio, a house, or a small office, our licensed team is ready to help.
Last-minute and emergency movers in Oakland step in when you don’t have the luxury of time. Instead of weeks of planning, our team builds a fast, efficient plan so your move still feels organized and controlled.
The goal is simple: even when it’s urgent, your move should still feel safe, manageable, and stress-free.
Emergency moving prices in Oakland are based on the same things as a standard local move: the size of your home or office, building access, and how much help you need. Most local movers in Oakland charge hourly, with a crew size matched to your situation.
Common factors that affect the cost of last-minute moving in Oakland include:
Because no two urgent moves are the same, the fastest way to understand pricing is to request a clear, written quote. We’ll review your inventory, access, and timeline so there are no surprises.
When you’re under pressure, you can’t afford unreliable movers. Ace Moving Co. is built around dependable service, local expertise, and transparent communication—exactly what you need during a last-minute move.
From the first phone call to the last box off the truck, you get an emergency moving partner that respects your time and your situation.
If you need local movers in Oakland today or tomorrow, our team does everything possible to fit you into the schedule. We handle fast local moves between neighborhoods like Lake Merritt, Temescal, Fruitvale, and Downtown Oakland with efficient packing, loading, and delivery.
Apartment moves often have strict time windows, elevator reservations, and loading zone rules. Our apartment movers in Oakland are used to tight hallways, stair-only buildings, and busy streets, so we can quickly organize an emergency move out of or into your unit.
Need to move out of a house or townhome fast? Our residential movers in Oakland handle everything from small bungalows to multi-story homes, protecting floors, railings, and doorways while keeping your move on schedule.
If your business needs to relocate on short notice, our commercial movers in Oakland can help. We handle small offices, retail spaces, and professional suites, focusing on minimal downtime and secure handling of furniture, files, and equipment.
When you’re moving in a hurry, packing can feel impossible. Our packing services in Oakland are built for situations where every hour counts. We can pack your entire home, just fragile items, or specific rooms—whichever gets you ready fastest.
If you’re on a tight timeline, calling is fastest:
For last-minute moves, a quick call is the best first step. We’ll ask where you’re moving from and to, what needs to be moved, and how soon you need Oakland movers on-site. From there, we’ll provide a clear estimate and confirm availability.
Next, we build a straightforward moving plan around your timeline: crew size, truck, packing needs, and any special items. Even in emergency situations, we take a few minutes to get organized so the move goes smoothly.
On moving day—whether it’s same-day or short notice—our crew arrives on time, protects your property, and starts loading immediately. We handle the heavy lifting, navigate Oakland traffic, and set you up at your new place so you can focus on what’s next.

It was very easy to schedule with Ace, and to reach their customer service team when I had follow-up questions prior to the move. Day-of, the guys were communicative, kind, and helpful. They worked efficiently and with care to the items being moved. Pricing was clearly communicated prior to and during the move. Highly recommend!Posted on Francine Dauphin KernTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I really really appreciate the Ace Moving Company! They came and helped me relocate in a timely manner. They were also super professional and the whole process went so smoothly! Would definitely recommend 10/10Posted on Tanya GreenCoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend “Ace Moving” company to anyone looking for exceptional licensed moving service. I moved over 150 miles away! When we pulled into my townhouse garage area all I had to do was point and direct which rooms the moving boxes, containers or furniture were going into. I paid extra for my marble table to be packed and delivered without a scratch or crack. Roberto and Josue took care of my table and moving items like “royal goods”. They also rolled out any mats to protect the floors. Roberto, always answered any questions I had or any details on the moving contract. As a woman, I wanted a professional licensed company that is reliable and trustworthy. They were very affordable for manually moving everything around my new place on a warm day as the sweat rolled across their heads. The company also offers a small discount if you pay in cash instead of credit card. Call “Ace Moving” for your future move in a safe matter. Thanks again Roberto and Josue for all the hard work! Ps….this company does local and some state moves too.Posted on NeenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
