What's Included in Your California Long-Distance Move

From the first estimate to the last box unpacked, here's what Best California Movers brings to every long-distance relocation.

  • Our crew packs everything, or only the rooms you name. We arrive with boxes, paper, furniture blankets, stretch wrap, and specialty materials for delicate items.

  • Dedicated Truck, Direct Route

    Your belongings ride on a single truck assigned to your move, straight to your destination. No shared loads, no intermediate stops, no guessing at arrival.

  • Truck GPS Tracking

    Every truck on your move carries GPS tracking, so you see where your belongings are in real time instead of waiting on updates or wondering when they arrive.

  • Beds, desks, shelving systems, and sectional sofas are taken apart before loading when needed and reassembled in your new home. You need no tools of your own.

  • Unpacking goes further than dropping boxes in rooms. We open everything, place items where you want them, and clear all packing materials out of the space.

  • If your new home isn't ready the day your lease ends, we coordinate short-term storage between pickup and delivery, so your move stays on track.

  • Flexible payment plans through our lending platform spread the cost instead of paying upfront. Some clients qualify for 0% APR — ask at your estimate call.

  • Arjuna C

    Dmitrii Parii, ***** *****, and their teams provided exceptional service for our 2 bedroom full service local move in ******. To be *****, I was weary of being baited by the *** algorithm and how it handles a company called Best California Movers. One might also be lead to believe they have a suspicious amount of positive reviews. And Im relieved to say I would wager they actually deserve the name. Quoting and Booking:***** *****, with follow up from his colleagues ***** and ********, made it easy to get a quote, have all my questions answered, and finally sign to book with confidence. I had several rounds of questions from initial contact to agreement review and they gave quick and detailed information, such as the cost of materials and boxes, liability for any building damage, and estimation of how long the job would take. Other companies I requested quotes for recommended 2 or 3 crew, but ***** recommended 4 off rip for a speedier move and it turned out to be a great fit for our 2 bedroom local move. The Move: Dmitrii Parii and his team did a remarkable job. Although we moved from a 2BR apartment, we actually have quite a lot of stuff from previously moving from a 3 story house. Weve hired other movers before and Dmitriis team moved the same amount in roughly half the time, and that included disassembly and reassembly of some of our key furniture such as our bed and two standing desks with mounted monitors. His team arrived within the estimated time, worked efficiently even though I offered them snacks and to take a lunch break, and handled all of our belongings carefully. He also came prepared with many tools for disassembly and reassembly. To be honest, I expected this job to take 9-10 hours based on our previous movers and they did it in 7. I also had a fair amount of questions for Dmitrii, including with regard to the final invoice, and he was a great sport about answering all of them.

  • Justin Edwards

    Artemis and his crew came through and got the job done extremely fast and thorough. This is the second time I've used BCM and have had a great experience both times. Keep up the great work.

  • skywtchng

  • Brett Bielling

    Huge thanks to the team for helping me move. They were timely, professional, and took great care of my few valuable objects. They showed up on time, packed, drove, and unloaded all in a single afternoon. Pro tip for folks at home: keep your boxes! The team repacked flat-screen TVs and monitors in minutes and everything made it to its new home safely.

  • Honoree T.

    Best California Movers stayed true to their name! Sam and Roma moved my belongings from Downtown LA to the Valley, and I couldn't be happier with their work. I have a lot of mirrored furniture, and they handled every piece with care. They arrived on time, packed thoroughly, and moved quickly while making sure everything was protected. Definitely worth it. I'm glad I chose them, and I'll request Sam and Roma again for any future move!

  • Jenna Holmes

    I had the best moving experience with Tole and Stephan! They were efficient and hardworking. They were very careful with all of my items and made sure they were wrapped so that they would not be any damages. I have used this company in the past and will use them again in the future if I move again! I highly recommend.

  • Laura Lincoln's Live

    I highly recommend this company. From the estimate, to packing, driving our contents themselves and unpacking, the amount of respect, consideration and care that was taken by Alex, Will and Alex was over the top. Communication with Carlos and others was clear and what was promised was done! The amount of money this cost was so worth it and it wasn’t a ridiculous amount either. Our move was from California to Texas which reached us in 2 days. I believe you can’t go wrong hiring Best California Movers for any distance. I would most certainly without hesitation use them again! Thanks y’all!! Laura Lincoln

California Long-Distance Routes We Cover

We operate out of three offices across California: North Hollywood (serving LA County and nearby counties - Ventura, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside), Poway (serving San Diego County and adjacent parts of Orange and Riverside Counties), and Santa Clara (serving the Bay Area and its wider surroundings - San Mateo, Alameda, San Francisco, Contra Costa). We handle local moves, as well as long-distance moves across California and to other states.

  • Los Angeles Bay Area

    The most common intra-California long-distance route. Whether you're relocating from North Hollywood to San Jose, Glendale to Palo Alto, or anywhere in the area, we handle this corridor regularly. Typical transit is one to two days, depending on volume and scheduling.

  • San Diego Los Angeles

    A mid-distance relocation that moves faster than a full NorCal haul. We coordinate same-day or next-day delivery on this corridor in most cases.

  • San Diego Bay Area

    This is the longest intra-CA corridor we service. Full planning and packing coordination from our SD and Bay Area offices, with an overnight route and confirmed delivery windows.

  • LA San Diego Bay Area (Multi-Stop)

    We accommodate multi-stop long-distance moves, including partial pickups at multiple origin locations or deliveries to multiple destinations. You can discuss the scope during your estimate.

  • Central California and Other Routes

    Moving to or from Fresno, Sacramento, the Central Coast, or other California destinations outside our three primary markets? Call us, as we cover routes beyond the three core metro areas on a case-by-case basis.

How California Long-Distance Pricing Works

Unlike local moves, long-distance moves within California are based on a different pricing model. Here's what influences the total cost.

  • Distance Between Origin and Destination

    Longer hauls cost more. The mileage between your pickup location and your destination drives the transportation component of your estimate.

  • Volume and Complexity of Your Move

    The more you're moving, the more truck space and labor it takes. We don't price your move based on a rough bedroom count. We look at your furniture, boxes, and specialty items to provide a more accurate estimate. The more accurate your inventory, the more accurate your estimate.

  • Services Included

    Packing, unpacking, disassembly/reassembly, storage bridging, and full-service vs. partial service all affect the total. You choose which services you need; we price only what you're getting.

  • Timing

    Peak season is May through September, and weekend moves are in higher demand. If your schedule has flexibility, booking weekday moves or securing your date early gives you the best availability and the most competitive pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Our support team will be happy to explain everything to you before dispatching the vehicle.

01 What makes an intrastate move within California different from a local move?

A local move is typically billed hourly and completed within a single day within the same metro area. Unlike a local move, an intrastate long-distance move (typically more than 150 miles within California) requires scheduled transportation, dedicated truck space, and coordination over one or more days. Pricing reflects distance and volume, as well as a straight hourly rate.

02 How long does a California long-distance move take?

It depends on the route and the size of the move. San Diego to Los Angeles can often be completed same-day or next-day. Los Angeles to the Bay Area typically involves an overnight and runs one to two days from pickup to delivery. During the estimate, we’ll confirm your estimated delivery window.

03 Do you deliver on a specific date or a window?

We schedule a confirmed delivery window and contact you closer to arrival to confirm the exact time. For longer routes, the window may span a day or two. We narrow it as the move progresses, and for bigger moves, keep your Move Concierge updated throughout.

04 Can I pack some things myself and have you handle the rest?

Yes. Partial packing is a standard option. You can pack the items you’re comfortable handling, and we’ll take care of the rest, including fragile, oversized, and hard-to-pack belongings. We bring all the materials.

05 What happens if my new home isn't ready when you arrive?

We coordinate storage for exactly this situation. If your destination isn’t ready at delivery time, your belongings go into short-term storage, and we schedule redelivery when you’re ready.

06 Are my belongings insured during the long-distance move?

Yes. Basic valuation coverage is included at no additional charge and covers $0.60 per pound per item.

07 Do you use your own employees or hire subcontractors for long-distance moves?

We use our own trained, background-checked employees on every job—local or long-distance. We don’t broker moves or hand them off to third-party carriers. The crew that loads your belongings is the same company operating under our license and our standards.

08 Can I get financing for a long-distance move?

Yes. We offer access to a lending platform that provides quotes from multiple lenders. Compare financing options, choose the repayment terms that work for you, and see if you qualify for 0% APR financing. Ask about it during your estimate call or mention it when you fill out our form.
