The Cost of Moving Services in Long Beach, CA

If you’ve already rented a truck or container, you can hire a labor-only mover to save on moving costs. They’ll load and unload everything while you pack and handle the transportation. Alternatively, a full-service move is a little more expensive but leaves the loading, driving, and unloading to the pros, saving you time so you can focus on exploring your new neighborhood or heading to the beach.

The Cost of a Local Full-Service Move in Long Beach

With a full-service move, your movers handle every step—from loading and transportation to unloading—so you don’t have to. That means you also won’t be driving through rush hour traffic on the I-405, which is definitely worth the extra cost.

On average, you'll pay more for a full-service moving company—around $712.09. However, prices tend to drop on Sundays and during January.

Amazing work! They were able to do our entire two bedroom townhouse in just two hours. I was nervous that we had too much stuff to fit in two moving pods, but they Tetris-ed everything perfectly and were super efficient! They handled everything with care, and I’m confident our stuff will get to where it needs to go unscathed. We were impressed!

Pro tip: Book ahead as far as possible to get the best rates!

Tip 1: Opt for a Smaller Truck for Downtown Moves

Downtown Long Beach has its share of charming historic streets, most of them narrow. Willmore City Historic District and Belmont Shore have particularly tight roadways, so it's best to avoid renting larger trucks for downtown moves. Also, oversized vehicles longer than 26 feet can't park in most Long Beach neighborhoods without a permit.

Bonus Tip: Contact Street Operations at (562) 570-2726 to set up a designated no-parking area at your destination, ensuring your truck has guaranteed parking space.

Tip 2: Prepare for Seasonal Rainfall

Like most Californian cities, Long Beach is known for sunshine and warm days. But those sunny days can disappear in a flash if you move during the wet season, which runs from mid-October to mid-April. Sudden heavy rain and even flooding can occur. If you can't delay moving until the drier months, keep a close eye on the weather reports.

Bonus Tip: To avoid your stuff getting wet in a surprise storm, use waterproof packaging and wrap furniture in plastic coverings. A local Lowe's or Home Depot should have what you need.

Tip 3: Be Mindful of Beach Area Traffic

You’re not alone if you’ve caught yourself daydreaming about a beach day instead of packing. Belmont Shore and Alamitos Beach draw large crowds of pedestrians most days, especially on weekends. If you can’t avoid these neighborhoods entirely, schedule your move early in the day to skip the chaos that peaks between 11 am and 4 pm.

Bonus Tip: Check Long Beach events before planning your move. Local events often monopolize the coast, leading to limited parking nearby.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Long Beach

Expect to pay about $138 to $252 to rent a moving truck in Long Beach. However, the exact cost will depend on the truck size you choose. Some truck rental companies also charge a per-mile fee on top of that, but for short local moves, this usually won’t increase costs significantly.

You can reschedule your move by contacting your mover at least 24 hours in advance, checking their availability, and then contacting HireAHelper to handle the rest of the process. If they're unavailable, you can cancel and select a different mover (we’ll help you find one!). However, late cancellations, if they’re not made at least 48 hours in advance, might result in fees.

A-1 Self Storage and Pouch Self Storage are top-rated short-term storage options in Long Beach. Before signing a lease, always ask about a self-storage facility's security, access hours, and amenities. Prioritize the services you need most to ensure you get your money's worth.

Avoid I-405 and I-710 when driving a moving truck, as rush hour traffic can be intense and lead to substantial delays. If possible, skip Long Beach Boulevard, Anaheim Street, and any part of Downtown. While scenic, these routes experience heavy and frequent congestion.

Long Beach moving quotes tend to be lowest on Sunday. However, holidays and major events, such as the Acura Grand Prix, can cause substantial traffic. The longer a move takes, the higher the cost, so be sure to factor these events in when planning what day to hire help for your move.
