Downtown San Diego moves are mostly high-rise condos and apartments in the East Village, Little Italy, the Gaslamp and Cortez Hill, with loading docks, elevator reservations and certificate-of-insurance rules. We send the COI ahead and book the crew into your move window. Padres home games at Petco Park and Comic-Con in July close streets and fill parking around the East Village and the Convention Center, so we check the calendar before you pick a date.
In Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Ocean Beach and Point Loma the streets are narrow, many buildings are walk-ups and parking is tight, especially on summer weekends. We look at the access first and send enough movers so stairs and longer carries do not stretch the day. In North Park, South Park and Kensington, older Craftsman homes get floor runners and door-jamb protection as standard.
San Diego is home to Naval Base San Diego, Naval Air Station North Island and MCAS Miramar. We move military families as a private move, not under a government contract, so you book and pay us directly. If you are moving in or out of base housing, check the base’s access rules for a civilian truck ahead of time and we plan the start around the gate. Many of our San Diego moves come from Los Angeles and Orange County: these are local hourly moves under California rules. See our Los Angeles to San Diego moving guide.

Hourly rate, crew size and estimated hours in writing before you book. Weekday and mid-month dates are the easiest to get.
The lead mover calls ahead, the crew protects floors and door frames and wraps every piece of furniture before it leaves the room.
Furniture placed where you want it, beds and tables put back together, and a walk-through with you before the crew leaves.
Local moves are hourly for the crew and truck, plus double drive time between your two addresses. On weekdays two movers start at $119 an hour and three at $159; weekends and month-end can differ. A one-bedroom downtown condo is usually a half-day for two movers; a three-bedroom house is most of a day for three or four. You get a written estimate after a short video walk-through.
Moves between Los Angeles and San Diego are local moves under California rules: hourly for the crew and truck plus double drive time, not a long-distance flat rate. The written estimate shows the full total. See our Los Angeles to San Diego moving guide.

Verified Great guys to work with The guys were fast, nice and great to work with. They were also honest and careful with all of my belongings. I say honest because something was broken and they showed me before moving it. They did NOT break it. They just noticed it had been repaired and instead of pretending nothing was wrong, they pointed it out even though I may have thought they did it. It was from the previous move.
I recently used JFK moving for a second time. Just like the first time the service was excellent, they arrived on time, and there were no extra charges or outrageous fees. The movers were so skilled and were able to get my furniture in and out without any problem. The workers handled my items with care and put them just where I wanted them At the end of the move, I actually thought the fee would be more than it was. If you’re considering a move, I highly recommend JFK moving. As a two time customer, I could say that the service was outstanding both times.
The team was great and was very thorough moving all our things, checking in with us throughout the process. It was a super long day but they were friendly and made the moving process less stressful. Definitely will use them again for our next move.
Windsor Hills, Windsor Hills, CA I hired JFK moving on 3 separate occasions, and I have to say that the service I receive from a crew that was led by a guy named Benny was exceptional. If you call them to get a quote, they beat everyone's pricing! However, Benny and his crew are who you ask for to get the job done right!
JFK Movers were excellent. They were friendly, efficient and professional. I was very grateful that they offered to put my personal , non- storage items in my car. I had a recent knee injury so this proved to be very helpful. The movers moved my things in record time; I was impressed and will use them again in the future when I have another planned move.
Verified Oscar and his crew were amazing Oscar and his crew were amazing. Very professional and quick. They moved our 5000 sq ft home in half a day and very good pricing
Amazing service by John, I cannot recommend enough! Impeccable communication through the whole entire process. The movers were so kind & careful. Pricing was really clear & payment was easy. I have used JFK movers to move 4 times & definitely would again!
Verified The move was easy!! The move was easy!!! All of the guys were great and very helpful
JFK Moving Company is a very professional moving company. They were quick to give me a quote for moving some oversized items of mine and are very flexible with scheduling. David and Aaron were polite, very on-time and highly skilled at their job. I guarantee you won't get a scratch on your most treasured furniture! My particular job was a unique challenge, and those two were able to complete the job with a sense of expertise, dedication and as well as to my expectations. I would work with JFK Moving LLC again.
Hesperia, CA Benny and his five-person team provided outstanding service. They completed the removal of two office spaces quickly and efficiently. We are very pleased with their service.
Movers were polite and hardworking. No damage at all
Pick-up, Delivery and set-up of a safe John, Bek, Victor and Adam made the appointment, pick up & delivery and the set-up of a safe upstairs a very great experience.

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.
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 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.
