Moving in Los Angeles: what makes it different

A move across Los Angeles is rarely about the miles. It is about where the truck can stop, how long the elevator is yours, and what the 10, the 101 and the 405 are doing that afternoon. That is why every LA estimate starts with the building and the street, not just the inventory.

Apartments and high-rises

Most buildings in Downtown, Koreatown, Hollywood and Westwood ask for a certificate of insurance and a reserved elevator window. Send us the building’s rules and we email the COI to management and schedule the crew to the minute of your reservation, so you are not paying for time spent waiting at the loading dock.

Hillside and older homes

Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, Mount Washington and the Hollywood Hills have steep streets, long staircases and curb space for one car. We send a truck sized for the street and shuttle with dollies when a 26-foot truck will not fit, without a separate long-carry charge.

Timing around traffic

Early starts beat the worst of the rush hour on cross-town moves, and California’s double drive time rule means you pay for the drive between your two addresses, never for our trip to you. Read why a 5-mile move in Los Angeles can take all day before you plan the date.

How it works

Your Los Angeles move in four steps

  1. Step 1: Tell us about the move

    Call or send the form with both addresses. A short phone or video walk-through of your Los Angeles home sizes the crew and the truck.

  2. Step 2: Get a written estimate

    Hourly rate, crew size and estimated hours in writing before you book. Weekday and mid-month dates are the easiest to get.

  3. Step 3: Moving day

    The lead mover calls ahead, the crew protects floors and door frames and wraps every piece of furniture before it leaves the room.

  4. Step 4: Set up in the new home

    Furniture placed where you want it, beds and tables put back together, and a walk-through with you before the crew leaves.

FAQ

Moving in Los Angeles: questions and answers

Local moves in Los Angeles are billed by the hour for the crew and truck, plus double drive time for the trip between your addresses. The size of the home, how much is packed, elevators and parking set the total. A short phone or video walk-through gets you a written hourly rate and a realistic time range; see how pricing works.

On most residential streets a legal curb space is enough. In Downtown, Koreatown, Hollywood and parts of the Westside, temporary no-parking signs from LADOT save a long carry. Tell us the address and we will say whether you need them.

Yes. We provide the certificate of insurance the building asks for and schedule the crew to your elevator reservation. High-rise moves are routine for our Los Angeles crews.

One to two weeks for a weekday move; two to four weeks for weekends and the last days of the month, which fill first.

Yes. Moves to San Diego and Orange County are local moves under California rules, billed hourly. Moves to Northern California go on a dedicated truck at a flat price; see long-distance moving and our LA to San Diego guide.

Tips for your move

Moving to the Inland Empire: Cities, Commutes and Heat

Most people moving to the Inland Empire tell us the same thing: they want more space. A bigger yard, a garage that fits a car, a newer house, or simply more home for the money than they could find in Los Angeles or Orange County. Our headquarters is in Moreno Valley, so the Inland Empire is home turf for our crews, and we see what works (and what goes wrong) on moving day across both counties.

Moving to North County San Diego: Coast vs. Inland Guide

North County San Diego is the stretch of San Diego County between Camp Pendleton and the city of San Diego. When people talk about moving to North County San Diego, they usually mean one of five cities: Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos or Escondido. Our Escondido office runs moves across all of them, and the first question we help people answer is simple: coast or inland?

Moving from the Bay Area to Southern California: A Guide

Moving from the Bay Area to Southern California is one of the most common long-distance moves in the state. We see it from San Francisco, the East Bay, the Peninsula, San Jose and Sacramento, headed to Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire and San Diego. Because the whole trip stays inside California, it works differently from a local hourly move, and knowing how it works makes planning much easier.
