5 Best GoShare Alternatives for On-Demand Moving and Delivery
GoShare is a leader in the hauling space, but depending on your specific move or delivery, these alternatives might offer better pricing and service.
Written by Hustlin from public information. Lugg hasn’t joined Hustlin.
GoShare has built a massive network of truck and van owners to help with last-mile delivery and hauling. It is a reliable choice for businesses and individuals who need a vehicle and a driver quickly. However, users often look for alternatives when they need more specialized moving help, lower minimums, or a more streamlined app experience for residential moves.
First, what is GoShare?
Best for: Businesses needing consistent delivery partners and individuals hauling large loads that don't require full-service moving labor.
Strengths
- Wide range of vehicle options from passenger cars to large box trucks
- Strong focus on business-to-business logistics and last-mile delivery
- Available in many major US metropolitan areas
Where it falls short
- Pricing can be higher for simple residential furniture moves
- The interface is more focused on logistics than consumer ease-of-use
- Availability of specific truck sizes can fluctuate during peak hours

Dolly
Dolly operates a similar model to Lugg, connecting users with 'Helpers' who have trucks. They are a strong competitor in the retail delivery space and offer tiered pricing based on the number of helpers requested.
Best for: Retail furniture delivery and apartment moves.
- #3Alternative
TaskRabbit
While not a dedicated moving company, TaskRabbit allows you to hire 'Taskers' for moving help. You can find people with their own trucks or simply hire labor to help you load a rental van.
Best for: Labor-only assistance or very small, local deliveries.
- #4Alternative
Bungii
Bungii focuses heavily on large-item delivery from big-box retailers. They position themselves as the 'friend with a truck' and emphasize speed, often promising delivery in under an hour.
Best for: Same-day large item pickups from retail stores.
- #5Alternative
uShip
uShip is a marketplace where you list your shipment and transporters bid on it. It is less about on-demand local moving and more about finding space on a truck already traveling a certain route.
Best for: Long-distance shipping of large items or vehicles.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lugg or GoShare better for a full house move?
Neither is ideal for a 4-bedroom house move. Both services specialize in 'small moves' like apartments, studios, or single-item deliveries. For a full house, a traditional moving company is recommended.
Do I need to help the movers with Lugg?
No. Lugg typically sends two movers so you can sit back while they handle the heavy lifting. With GoShare, you may need to assist the driver if you only requested one person.
