Life rarely gives you much warning. A sudden lease change, an unexpected job transfer, or a deal that closes earlier than expected can leave you scrambling to move with little or no notice. That is exactly where same day moving services come in. At All Star Movers & Storage, we understand that not every move happens on a perfectly planned schedule — and we are here to help when yours does not. Contact our team today to find out how quickly we can get movers to your door.
Based in Dublin, California, we have served the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, and the Central Valley for more than 20 years. We are locally owned and operated, fully licensed and insured, and BBB accredited. When urgency is the priority, you want a team with the experience and equipment to move fast without cutting corners.

What Is Same Day Moving and Who Needs It?
Same day moving means scheduling and completing a move within the same calendar day. It is not just for emergencies. Many customers simply have tight timelines or prefer not to drag a move out over several days. However, same day moves do require a team that can mobilize quickly and work efficiently without wasting time.
Common Reasons People Need Same Day Moving Services
- Lease endings: Your landlord needs the unit cleared out immediately.
- Early closing dates: Your home sale closed faster than expected.
- Job relocations: A new employer needs you to start sooner than planned.
- Family emergencies: A sudden change in living situation requires fast action.
- Apartment or unit availability: Your new place opened up ahead of schedule.
Additionally, some people simply decide it is time to move and do not want to wait. Whatever your reason, same day moving is a real, practical option — as long as you have the right team behind you.
How All Star Movers & Storage Handles Same Day Moves
Not every moving company can accommodate a last-minute request. Fortunately, All Star Movers & Storage has the crew size, fleet, and operational flexibility to handle same day moves throughout the Bay Area, Sacramento, and the Central Valley. Here is how we approach it.
Step 1: Fast, Free Quote
When you call us, we ask a few straightforward questions — where you are moving from, where you are going, how much you have, and what special items need attention. From there, we provide a free quote quickly. We offer competitive, transparent pricing so you know what to expect before we show up.
Step 2: Dispatching an Experienced Crew
Once you confirm the move, we dispatch a trained crew as soon as possible. Our movers are not just strong — they are continually trained in the latest equipment, packing techniques, and safety practices. Because of this, your belongings are in capable hands even when the timeline is tight.
Step 3: Efficient, Careful Loading
Speed does not mean careless. Our crew uses furniture pads, moving blankets, shrink wrap, and proper lifting techniques to protect your items throughout the process. We take all necessary precautions to move everything safely from point A to point B — even on a same day schedule.
Step 4: Safe Transport and Delivery
Our fleet is maintained and well-equipped for moves of all sizes. Whether you are moving a studio apartment or a larger home, we load strategically to prevent shifting during transport. Then we deliver, unload, and place items in the rooms you designate — no extra hassle on your end.
What We Can Move on Short Notice
Same day moving is not limited to small loads. All Star Movers & Storage handles a wide range of move types on short notice, including:
- Residential moves: Apartments, condos, townhomes, and single-family homes
- Commercial and office moves: Small offices, retail spaces, and business relocations
- Specialty items: Including piano moving for those with unique, heavy, or fragile pieces
- Partial moves: If you only need certain rooms or items moved quickly
- Packing and unpacking services: If you have not had time to pack, we can help with that too
Moreover, if you need temporary storage while your new location gets ready, we also offer short-term storage solutions. This gives you flexibility even when circumstances are less than ideal.
Areas We Serve for Same Day Moving
Our home base is Dublin, California, but our reach extends well beyond it. We provide same day moving services throughout the greater Bay Area, Sacramento region, and Central Valley. Some of the communities we serve include:
- Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and San Ramon

On the other hand, if your destination is not on this list, it is still worth calling us. We handle many routes throughout Northern California and can often accommodate moves to locations not listed here.
Tips to Prepare for a Same Day Move
A same day move works best when you take a few simple steps to prepare, even on short notice. Here is what we recommend:
Sort and Declutter First
Before the crew arrives, do a quick walkthrough. Set aside anything you are donating, discarding, or leaving behind. This helps your movers focus on what actually needs to go and saves time during loading.
Gather Essentials Separately
Pack a bag with your phone charger, medications, important documents, and a change of clothes. Keep it with you during the move. This way, you are not digging through boxes on day one looking for the things you need most.
Clear a Path
Make sure hallways, staircases, and doorways are clear before the crew arrives. This allows movers to work faster and reduces the risk of damage to your walls and floors.
Communicate Clearly
Let us know about any items that need special handling — fragile antiques, large furniture, electronics, or artwork. The more information we have upfront, the more efficiently we can work.
Have Payment Ready
Same day moves are fast, and so is the billing process. Knowing your preferred payment method ahead of time keeps things moving smoothly at the end of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions About Same Day Moving
How early should I call to request a same day move?
The sooner, the better. Calling in the morning gives us the best chance of scheduling your move for later that day. However, we encourage you to call us regardless of the time, as availability can vary and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Is same day moving more expensive?
Same day moves may carry a different rate depending on availability and logistics. We are always upfront about pricing, so you will know exactly what the move will cost before we begin. There are no surprise fees at the end.
Can you handle large homes on the same day?
It depends on the size of the home and how far the move is. In many cases, yes — especially for local moves within Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, or nearby cities. For larger homes or longer distances, we will give you an honest assessment of what is realistic for a single day.
Do you offer packing help for same day moves?
Yes. If you have not had time to pack, our team can assist with packing and unpacking services. Simply let us know when you call so we can allocate the right crew and supplies.
What if I also need storage?
No problem. We offer short-term storage solutions that can be arranged alongside your move. This is especially helpful if your new home is not quite ready or you need a staging area between locations.
