WHY LIKE MOVERS?

Long Distance Movers in San Diego

Moving from San Diego to another part of California? Like Movers handles long distance moves anywhere in the state, from Los Angeles and Orange County to the Bay Area and Sacramento. Every long distance move is quoted as a flat rate before you book, so the price you agree to is the price you pay.

San Diego to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento

Our most common long distance routes run north up the coast and inland to the Central Valley. A studio or one-bedroom move from San Diego to San Francisco runs $2,790 to $3,300 as an all-inclusive flat rate. Larger homes and other destinations are quoted the same way, based on weight and mileage under California’s Maximum Rate Tariff 4. Our team answers calls 24/7.

Licensed for Moves Within California

Long distance moves inside California are regulated by the state. Like Movers holds state moving permit MTR No. 0192555 and carries the liability, cargo and workers’ compensation insurance that every permitted California mover is required to hold.

Moving Out of State?

Like Movers is licensed for moves within California only. If you are moving to another state, we are happy to point you to a carrier with federal interstate authority. You can check any mover’s interstate status yourself on the FMCSA website using their USDOT number.

Affordable Long Distance Moving Across California

If your home’s decision maker had planned to move to a new state by purchasing a new home, setting up a new office, it would be more than a normal physical move. Your children will be upset, they don’t wanna leave their friends and and your husband has to deal with new partners. This means it will take some time to settle down, but if you guys don’t have an affordable state-to-state mover, your relocation will be more stressful than fulfilling your basic needs.

View All

An intrastate move in California is any relocation that begins and ends within the state but exceeds a distance of 100 miles. Moves under 100 miles are classified as local moves. Knowing this distinction is crucial because it directly changes how your final moving costs are legally calculated.

Unlike local moves billed by the hour, California intrastate moves over 100 miles are priced based on the total shipment weight and route mileage. Billed under Maximum Rate Tariff 4 regulations, these distance-based moves do not use Double Drive Time. This ensures highly regulated, transparent statewide transport pricing.

Yes, Like Movers CA is fully licensed by the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services under permit MTR #0192555. We also hold active federal operating authority under US DOT #3820244. Our certified status ensures compliance with all strict state financial, safety, and cargo protection regulations.
Our standard in-state moves include basic Released Value Protection at no additional charge, which covers your belongings at $0.60 per pound per item. For maximum peace of mind, Like Movers CA also offers comprehensive Full Replacement Value protection to cover the actual market value of high-end furniture.
No, Like Movers CA never utilizes day laborers or independent contractors for any in-state transitions.
