Average Price of Apartment Movers in CA

Moving is a big job with much to worry about as you pick up your life from one location and deliver it to another. Apartment movers are one way to take some of that stress away. In California, the average price of an apartment mover varies from location to location across the state and is influenced by the type of service the movers provide. 

Apartment moving is a nationwide business, and as you would expect, there are nationwide chains as well as regional companies and smaller independent movers. All have their pros and cons, and all have varying costs. You can better compare prices by looking at local movers, meaning movers within the same city or nearby outlying areas, to compare prices.

Nationwide Chains Serving California

A nationwide chain can provide a good deal, but you may experience issues with standardized processes and customer service that may not be based in California. The more people involved, the more chances things could go wrong. On the other hand, some nationwide chains have been doing this long enough to build a corporation, and know what they are doing.

One example is Minimoves, which tends to charge $1,500 to $2,000, at time of publication, for a two-bedroom apartment.

Statewide Companies

Sometimes you want a large company, but you don't want to get lost in the shuffle. Maybe a smaller corporation is a good fit for you. Smaller companies usually carry the same equipment as the nationwide chains do but may not have the massive overhead or employee base. On the other hand, if you have complaints, the owner is probably in the building.

NorthStar Movers is one such company, based out of Chatsworth, CA. It charges $99 an hour with a three-hour minimum.

Local Movers

Sometimes you want a family touch. A small company means you are likely to get good service. This isn't always the case, but many times this is the cheapest route you can go, and you'll be getting much of that company's attention during your move.

MoversForLess in Huntington Beach CA charges $400 for four-hour moves.

If you're looking for movers, they are easy to find, and their prices and service vary. Keep doing your homework; call for quotes. Know that on average, in California, you'll find the prices to settle someone around $500.
