With a population of about 1.4 million and 626 FMCSA-registered household-goods carriers based in and around the city, San Diego has a deep moving market for both local and long-distance work.
Local moves inside San Diego are quoted by the hour: expect around $165 per hour for two movers and a truck, $220 for three, and $275 for a four-person crew, usually with a two- or three-hour minimum plus a travel fee. 217 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 385 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is plentiful.
At 4,256 people per square mile, San Diego mixes apartment districts with single-family neighborhoods; ask your mover whether stairs, elevators or long carries apply at either address, since those are the most common surcharges here.
