Tailored Moving, For Less
Local Moving
Cheap local movers in Oakland may be easy to find. Cheap local movers who won’t break all your stuff? That’s a different story. Fortunately, Pricing Van Lines can pack, wrap, and transport your short distance move with the same care and attention to detail as the big name, long haul crowd.
In the moving industry, anything under 100 miles and within the same state counts as a local move. Your local movers need to know Oakland, and they need to know how to get around without getting stuck in traffic. You can count on Pricing Van Lines to deliver a quick, efficient, and affordable in-town relocation.
Long Distance Moving
A long distance move means traveling over 100 miles or across state lines – even if the state line’s just a few miles away. But who can you trust with an interstate move that won’t break the bank?
If you’re looking for cheap long distance movers in Oakland, Pricing Van Lines is here to help. Our teams are well-trained and well-equipped, and they’ll provide the same high-quality service as those big brand moving companies without the big brand cost.
Full Packing
Packing is a pain. There’s all the sorting, organizing, and searching for the right boxes – and that’s before you even start wrapping and boxing. You’ve got two options: Toss everything in an old Amazon box with some loose socks and a prayer, or just let the pros handle your packing.
At Pricing Van Lines, we proudly offer full packing in Oakland. As an extra service, our movers will show up at your door with boxes, bubble wrap, furniture pads, and everything else they need to keep your items as safe and secure as possible.
Storage Solutions
Too much stuff? Not enough room? There’s an easy solution for that: Just book storage services in Oakland.
Storage units can give you a whole lot of extra square footage and flexibility, before, during, and after the big move. But if you want an affordable storage unit that’s still safe and secure, you’ll need to book one with Pricing Van Lines. With a whole range of units of all shapes and sizes – not to mention climate-controlled options, we’ve got storage you need for a successful relocation.
Corporate Relocation
We don’t know what kind of weirdo tech-bro playground you’ve got in your HQ right now. But we know how to pack it up and get it moved.
Book your corporate relocation with Pricing Van Lines, and save some serious capital for your next big launch. Our affordable corporate movers in Oakland can handle all the logistics, right down to the last paperclip. With a dedication to punctuality, efficiency, and (of course) safe handling at every stage, we’ll get you moved with minimal fuss, and we’ll get you all set up at your new HQ with minimal fuss too.
Specialized Moving Services
Every move is unique. Rather than a one-size-fits-all moving plan, Pricing Van Lines lets you build a completely custom move. Get everything you need, and don’t get charged for all the stuff you don’t.
Custom Crating
Sometimes, cardboard just doesn’t cut it. Our professional packing teams can build completely custom crates around your most valuable possessions.
Disassembly and Reassembly
Let’s be honest, you threw out those instructions years ago. Our team can help you disassemble and reassemble your furniture with all the right tools and techniques.
Last Minute Moves
Want to get out of Oakland in a hurry? We won’t judge. Contact Pricing Van Lines for last minute moving, and let’s get out of here!

Local Moving FAQs
When should I start packing?
Start packing as soon as you’ve booked your movers (2 to 3 months in advance). Seriously. Unless you’re paying for full service packing. The earlier you start, the less stressed you’ll feel. Start with your least-used items, and slowly work your way to your most-used stuff. You should be packing up art, decor, and seasonal decorations first, and your toothbrush last (we hope).
How much should I tip movers in Oakland?
For Oakland movers, it’s a good idea to tip between 15% and 20% of your total moving cost, to be divvied up evenly across your whole moving crew. Moving is hard work, and in the moving industry, tips are expected unless your mover has explicitly turned them down.
How much does it cost to buy packing supplies in Oakland?
Packing supplies in Oakland will set you back from $20 to $150. If you’re really strapped for cash, we recommend asking your local bookstore, office park, or even liquor store for free boxes they may be willing to part with. Just keep in mind, you may not be getting the high-quality moving supplies you deserve if you’re dumpster-diving.
What items can’t my movers transport?
Your movers can haul just about anything, but if an item can damage the truck, it won’t make the cut. This means no flammable fluids (not even nail polish), no pressurized containers, and no perishable foods, pets, or plants. Odds are, you’ll have to transfer your firearms to an FFL at your destination, as well.
Why should I pay for packing services?
Paying for packing is a good idea for two big reasons: One, it saves you a lot of time and effort if you just let the pros handle the whole thing. Two, full-service packing is usually a prerequisite if you want full-value insurance coverage.
Full-value insurance coverage means you’re getting the full value of any items that are damaged or lost in transit – rather than just the $0.60 per pound that’s usually offered with basic coverage. Definitely worth the extra cash.
