Moving from Los Angeles to San Francisco

Moving from LA to San Francisco is a significant change. Although both cities are in the same state, they differ in many ways. If you’re considering whether to hire relocation experts or manage the move yourself, keep reading.

The Challenges of Long-Distance Moving

When preparing for a long-distance move, it’s crucial to pack smaller and fragile items properly. Disassembling and protecting furniture is also vital, as is loading the truck to prevent damage during transport. Additionally, navigating a fully-loaded truck through heavy Los Angeles traffic and San Francisco’s steep streets can be daunting. After a 6-7 hour drive, you’ll need to unload the truck carefully and reassemble the furniture. It can quickly become overwhelming.

Before a long-distance relocation, people often have many concerns, from finding a new home to planning a going-away party. Why not hire a professional relocation company and focus on the more important things?

Finding the Right Moving Company

There are many ways to find reliable relocation experts. Start by asking family, friends, and neighbors for recommendations. If you’re relocating for work, reach out to co-workers and your boss for suggestions. Once you have a shortlist of 5-8 moving companies, do your research on Yelp or Google. Check reviews and photos, request quotes, or call the companies directly.

It’s essential to choose a licensed, insured, and bonded moving company. Inexperienced movers can scratch furniture or fail to protect items properly, leading to damage during transport. To avoid headaches, consider scheduling in-person or online estimates to understand your budget and preferences.

What is the Cost of Moving from LA to San Francisco?

The cost of moving can vary based on several factors:

• Amount of Furniture: Create a list of items you plan to move and those you no longer need. This helps us estimate the truck size and the loading and unloading time.
• Packing Services: If you don’t have time to pack your belongings, we offer full and partial packing services. Proper packing is essential to avoid damage during transit.
• Other Conditions: Factors like elevators, stairs, narrow doorways, and the distance from your door to our truck can all affect the moving price. Navigating bulky furniture through tight spaces can be challenging for untrained movers but is manageable for our MuraWay team.

Every move is unique. For example, moving a one-bedroom home without stairs will cost differently than relocating a large one-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor requiring packing services.

To stay within your budget, we recommend scheduling an in-person estimate. Our representative will create an inventory list to help determine the cost. If you prefer an online estimate, especially during COVID-19, we can request photos or videos of your space or schedule a FaceTime call. After that, we provide final quotes and documentation.

Tips for Cost Savings

To save money on your relocation from Los Angeles to San Francisco, consider packing everything in advance. This not only reduces costs but also allows you to donate or give away items you no longer want.

Please note that MuraWay cannot be responsible for items packed by the owner. Improperly packed fragile items can result in scratches and dents. Wrap smaller items with packing paper and bubble wrap, and secure boxes with tape.

Do not pack valuable items, such as jewelry, money, and documents, in boxes. It’s safer to transport these items in your vehicle.

We understand your goal is to have a stress-free, affordable move to San Francisco. Feel free to request an online quote on our website or contact us over the phone. We are committed to providing you with the best service and ensuring your belongings arrive safely.
