Our Los Angeles Moving and Storage Services

Whether you need your belongings held for two weeks or six months, we tailor our services to your timeline.

  • Short-Term Storage During Your Move

    When your move-out and move-in dates don't match, we hold everything in a secure monitored facility. Most stays run two weeks to three months.

  • Long-Term Storage

    For a home being staged, an international relocation, or a long renovation, we store up to 12 months. Items stay wrapped as loaded, never in shared units.

  • Long-distance moves often need a holding period between pickup and delivery, so storage-in-transit is built in. Routes: LA to Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Texas.

  • Full-Service Packing, Storage, and Unpacking — Start to Finish

    We pack, transport, store if needed, deliver, unpack, and haul the materials away. Few Los Angeles movers include unpacking, so your home is livable on day one.

    I was recommended this company by my mom and aunt. They had great experiences and I was happy to try them out. Roman and his crew were absolutely amazing! They were early, efficient, and very patient and understanding. They made sure everything was packed with care and when they unloaded all of our stuff they made sure it was exact where we wanted it. I was very stressed about moving, but they made sure it was a good experience. Definitely recommend!

  • Mateo Etcheveste

    The guys arrived on time and were professional. We needed just to unload our truck and they charged for gas, that was a little bit weirded, but overall the experience was very smooth. Highly recommend

    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.

    Manu and his team did such an amazing job helping us move. The movers did an incredible job helping us move all of our belongings from storage into our home. They were professional, friendly, hardworking, and very careful with all of our things. They even went above and beyond by helping us assemble our bed and put our furniture together, which made the whole moving process so much easier and less stressful. Everything was handled with care, and we truly appreciate all their hard work. We couldn’t be happier with their service and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers! Thank you again for making our move so smooth!

  • Марина Аракелян

    Artur and his team did an excellent job. They arrived on time, treated my belongings with great care, answered all my questions professionally, and always worked with a smile. Special thanks to Artur for his professionalism.

  • Gerry S.

    Sam and max came early on time extremely efficient. Wrapped everything very carefully double checked everything with me. I used them before to move from Long Beach to Valley Village and I used them again to move from Valley Village to Hacienda Heights. Excellent service if I can give 10 stars, I'll give 10 stars very kind very gracious. I'm very appreciative. good price very affordable.

  • Adrienne Wilson

    Artemis and Dennis arrived promptly (and actually asked my permission if I was available earlier than our pre-scheduled time- I happened to be) They walked through first and asked my preferences first. They moved everything (two heavy reclining sofas, bunk beds, coffee table, futon, and other miscellaneous items) efficiently, safely, from my storage unit to my new, quaint apartment. They assembled the bunk beds. And took the quoted time (worked very fast AND it was hot AND the elevator closest to my storage unit was broken so longer walk out for them) Thank you guys! Definitely recommend!

  • Latasha B.

  • Renee Fulbright

    We have moved 5 times in the past 6 years and this one by far was the easiest and smoothest because of Nigel and his crew! They were on time, worked fast and nothing broke during transport. Also, best prices around. Highly recommend this team for your next move!!!!

  • julian portera 1 photo

    Wow, what can we say, we were amazed at how Roman C. and his crew helped us pack and move from our condo into our new home! We were really stressed out as we had so many things to pack and so little time , and they came in and saved the day! A team of 4, but really felt like 8 with how fast, efficient and careful they were. Not a single item was missed or damaged, truly exceptional! We knew we were in good hands as they were referred to us by our parents and aunt and uncle. Highly recommend for all your moving needs!

  • Lauren Glass

    I was shocked how kind and supportive they were with my move! Very delicate with my stuff, not overly rushed and very efficient. Super considerate about my important items and where I ultimately wanted everything to go. Will be saving their contact for any future moves. Highly, highly recommending to my friends and family! Nigel and Sula were the best

  • Norman Z.

    Sam and Victor did an amazing job with our move! They were friendly, professional and careful with our belongings. They worked efficiently and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

What Does Moving with Storage Cost in Los Angeles?

Costs vary by home size, storage duration, and the services you add. Based on typical Los Angeles moves with storage, here are general ranges you can expect:

Scenario Pickup + Storage (4 weeks) Total Estimate Range
Studio — local move, 4-week storage Pickup: $450–$900 / Storage: $100–$150 $550–$1,050
1-bedroom — local move, 4-week storage Pickup: $650–$1,300 / Storage: $130–$200 $780–$1,500

Full packing + storage + full unpacking bundle Add $400–$1,200+ depending on size Base move cost + $400–$1,200+

We provide a single itemized estimate covering every phase. The price reflects your actual situation, not a one-size-fits-all estimate that changes later.

What affects your total cost:

  • Home size and total volume of belongings
  • Move distance (local vs. long-distance)
  • Storage duration
  • Packing and unpacking services added
  • Building access requirements (elevator window, loading dock rules)
  • Delivery distance and any access logistics at the new address

Storage Options by Home Size

Home Size Recommended Storage Duration Typical Monthly Rate
Studio / 1 bedroom 2–6 weeks $100–$180
2 bedrooms 2–8 weeks $180–$280
3 bedrooms 2–12 weeks $280–$450
4+ bedrooms Varies by inventory $450–$700+
Renovation bridge (partial home) 4–12 weeks $150–$400 (priced by volume stored)
Long-distance transit hold 1–4 weeks Typically bundled into the long-distance estimate for the first 30 days

Every storage estimate is itemized. The price you receive covers the entire pickup process: pickup, secure storage, and delivery. These services aren’t priced separately.

When Los Angeles Moves Don't Line Up, and What to Do About It

In most cities, the timeline works: you move out, you move in. In Los Angeles, however, it rarely goes that cleanly.

Your escrow closes two weeks after your lease ends. Your new home needs three weeks of renovation before it's livable. Your long-distance move lands before your building's move-in date. You're downsizing from a four-bedroom and need time to sort what stays before committing to the new space. In each of these scenarios, your belongings need a safe place — and you need a single team managing the sequence, not two separate companies handing off your furniture between them.

Best California Movers handles moving and storage as one coordinated service. We pack your home, transport everything, hold it in secure facilities, and deliver, including full unpacking at your new address. You'll get one crew and one transparent estimate before we start, with the storage months spelled out in it. No self-storage runs, no rented trucks, and no handed-off chain of custody.

The most common reasons LA clients combine moving with storage:

  • Escrow or lease timing gap between your move-out and move-in dates
  • Home renovation or remodel that needs to be completed before you settle in
  • Downsizing and sorting through inventory before committing it to the new space
  • Long-distance relocation arriving before the new building's access window opens
  • Summer peak season — when lease-end and move-in dates rarely overlap by design

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving with Storage in Los Angeles

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

01 How does moving with storage work?

We handle pickup, storage, and delivery as one coordinated service. Our crew comes to your home on your move-out date, packs and loads your belongings, and transports them to our secure facilities. When your new home is ready, whether that’s two weeks or several months later, we schedule delivery and bring everything to your new address. You won’t need to visit a storage unit or arrange a separate truck.

02 What's the difference between short-term and long-term storage?

Short-term storage covers gaps of a few weeks to three months — typical for escrow delays, renovation timelines, or lease overlaps. Long-term storage is available for clients who need more time, such as during extended renovations, international relocations, or staging and selling situations. Rates differ between the two, and we’ll quote your specific duration when you request your estimate.

03 Can you store my belongings during a home renovation?

Yes. Renovation bridge storage is one of the most common reasons LA clients combine moving and storage. We pick up your belongings before construction begins, store them securely through renovation, and deliver them once the work is done. If you need only partial storage — some rooms staying occupied while others are cleared — we can also work with that.

04 Are my belongings protected while in storage?

Yes. Your items are stored in monitored, secured facilities. Every piece of furniture is wrapped and padded from pickup and stays protected throughout the storage period — nothing is unwrapped and re-wrapped between arrival and departure. We inventory your belongings when we pick them up, making it easy to confirm that everything is returned in the same condition at delivery. Coverage options are explained during your estimate consultation.

05 Do you offer financing for moving with storage?

Yes. We offer financing that lets you spread the cost of your move and storage over time instead of paying the full amount upfront. This is especially beneficial for clients managing longer storage durations alongside relocation costs. Ask about available plans when you request your estimate.

06 How far in advance should I book moving with storage in Los Angeles?

We recommend booking three to four weeks ahead, particularly for moves between May and September — peak moving season in California, when availability tightens and storage coordination requires more lead time. If your timeline is tighter, contact us, as we work with shorter windows when capacity allows.

07 Can I access my belongings while they're in storage?

Access to stored items during the holding period depends on your specific arrangement. For most clients, full delivery is scheduled when the new home is ready. If you anticipate needing access to specific items before delivery, such as furniture for a staged move-in or items for a renovation contractor, let us know when you book, and we’ll structure the arrangement accordingly.

08 Do you offer unpacking after my items are delivered from storage?

Yes, and it differentiates us from most LA movers. After delivery, our crew unpacks your belongings, places everything where you want it, and removes all packing materials before leaving. For clients who’ve waited through a renovation or a closing gap, this means their new home is livable the day the truck arrives. Ask about unpacking services when you request your estimate.
