What People Say

Loved by families & students

My daughter's dorm was cleared out in 2 hours. The student who helped was incredibly polite and efficient. Way cheaper than a moving company!

Sarah M.

Parent, UCLA move-out

Made $380 in one weekend during finals week just helping people haul stuff to storage. Best side gig I've found in college by far.

James K.

Junior, Boston University

As an international student, I didn't know anyone to help me move. Curb Hop matched me with two students who helped me pack and drive to my new apartment.
