Trusted by customers
Trusted by families and businesses alike
Planning a move can raise a lot of questions. Here are the answers to the most common things our customers ask before booking with Zapt Movers.
How much does a local move in San Francisco cost?
The cost of a local move in San Francisco depends on factors like the size of your home, the number of movers needed, and any specialty items. Most studio and one-bedroom apartment moves start around $350–$600 for a local move within the city. Two-bedroom homes typically range from $600–$1,200 depending on the amount of furniture, stairs, and parking accessibility. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know the exact price before we arrive. Our rates include all standard equipment, furniture pads, and shrink wrap — no hidden fees.
How far in advance should I book my move?
We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance, especially during peak moving season (May through September) and around the first and last days of each month. However, we understand that sometimes moves happen on short notice. We offer same-week and even same-day availability when our schedule allows. The sooner you book, the more flexibility you’ll have with your preferred date and time.
Do you provide packing materials and packing services?
Yes, we offer both professional packing services and packing materials. Our full-service packing option means our trained team packs your entire home room by room using premium boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and tape. We also offer partial packing if you just need help with fragile or bulky items. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply all the materials you need including wardrobe boxes, dish packs, and mattress covers.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Absolutely. Every Zapt Movers move includes basic valuation coverage at no extra charge. We also carry up to $1 million in cargo insurance for additional protection. For high-value items like art, antiques, or electronics, we offer full-value protection plans that cover the replacement cost of any item damaged during transit. We document the condition of specialty items before and after the move for your records.
What items can’t you move?
For safety and legal reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials including propane tanks, gasoline, paints, solvents, ammunition, fireworks, or perishable food items. We also cannot move live plants on long-distance moves due to agricultural regulations. We recommend transporting important documents, jewelry, medications, and irreplaceable personal items in your own vehicle. Our team will review the full list of restricted items with you during the quoting process.
How does your interest-free financing work?
We’ve partnered with Afterpay and Wisetack to offer flexible payment plans. With Afterpay, you can split your moving cost into 4 interest-free payments over 6 weeks. Wisetack offers longer-term financing from 3 to 60 months on services from $500 to $25,000, with rates starting at 0% APR. Applying takes about a minute and checking your options won’t impact your credit score. This means you can get the moving help you need now without financial stress.
What happens if something gets damaged during my move?
While our team takes every precaution to prevent damage, we stand behind our work. If an item is damaged during your move, report it to us within 72 hours. We’ll review the claim, assess the damage, and work with you on a resolution — whether that’s repair, replacement, or compensation based on your coverage level. Our claims process is straightforward and transparent, and we resolve most claims within 5–10 business days.

Trusted Moving Services Across the Bay Area
Zapt Movers proudly serves families and businesses throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Our local teams know every neighborhood, building regulation, and parking challenge in the cities we serve. Here’s how we help in each area.
As the largest city in the Bay Area, San Jose is home to sprawling suburban homes, tech campus offices, and everything in between. Our San Jose team specializes in both residential and commercial relocations throughout Silicon Valley, including Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Mountain View, Milpitas, Campbell, and Los Gatos. From Willow Glen family homes to North San Jose townhomes and Santana Row condos, we know the local landscape. We also handle corporate moves for tech companies across the entire Silicon Valley corridor.
Hayward sits at the heart of the East Bay, making it a strategic base for moves across Alameda County. Our Hayward team regularly handles moves in Fremont, Union City, Newark, Castro Valley, San Leandro, and Pleasanton. We're familiar with the area's suburban neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and industrial zones. Whether you're moving into a Cal State East Bay student apartment, a family home in the Hayward Hills, or a new build in Fremont's Warm Springs, we deliver the same five-star service every time.
From Oakland's diverse neighborhoods and Berkeley's hillside homes to the suburban communities of Walnut Creek, Concord, Dublin, Livermore, and San Ramon, our East Bay teams know every corner of the region.
