South Lake Tahoe has about 21,300 residents and 9,500 households, and nearly half of the households rent. That renter share, 48.7 percent, matters for long-distance moving: leases end on fixed dates, and a renter leaving California for another state has a move date set by the landlord. The town is about 60 miles and an hour and twenty minutes from our Sparks yard, over the US 50 and I-580 corridor.
A lease ending on the 30th leaves little room to slip, and a renter who also has a job start on the other end has even less. O'Brien's schedules loading to the date on the lease and uses the itemized estimate to set the weight early. The median home here was built in 1973 and has about 4.7 rooms, and the estimator sizes the crew and truck to your actual load.
Our apartment and condo moving page explains how crews handle elevators and shared loading zones.
South Lake Tahoe sits at 6,260 feet and the route to Sparks crosses mountain terrain, so winter weather matters. Check Caltrans QuickMap before moving day and ask the estimator how snow is handled on your date. Read moving at Lake Tahoe in winter and in summer for season-by-season tips.
A South Lake Tahoe move to Nevada or another state is an interstate move under federal authority, carried through the Bekins network. A move to another California address is a move within California, and O'Brien's is permitted in California for those. The estimator confirms which applies to your route.
When a lease ends before the next one starts, wooden vaults, 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, hold your goods at the Sparks warehouse from $40 per month. See storage between homes. For a move to South Lake Tahoe, you book with O'Brien's and we coordinate the move from your origin through the Bekins network.

Moves within California
O'Brien's Moving & Storage moves households within California under its own authority: Cal PUC T-90973 (as published by O'Brien's). A move between Nevada and California crosses a state line, so it is an interstate move under our federal authority (U.S. DOT No. 30611, MC-109375) instead.

We were referred to O'Brien's Moving and Storage though a friend in Reno. We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future.
Francie, Thank you for this amazing review. The result you have expressed is exactly what we all strive to accomplish. I love that you walked away knowing you are now a part of the O'Brien's family, whenever you need us we are a phone call away! I will let the movers know about the kind words expressed about them, that will be very satisfying for all of them. We will look forward to any referrals you send our way, thank you for the opportunity!
