What Makes a Point Loma Move Different
The peninsula sits between the Pacific, San Diego Bay and the San Diego River, and the hill down its spine shapes everything. Near the coast and the bay the streets follow a rough grid. In the hilly middle they curve with the terrain, and canyons split some streets into separate sections, so the shortest route on a map is often not the one a truck can take.
Most of Point Loma is single-family homes, many of them older houses on sloping lots. That means steep driveways, front steps and split-level layouts more often than elevators and loading docks. We check the street, the driveway and the carry before we choose the truck and the crew.
Moving On or Off Naval Base Point Loma
The southern third of the peninsula is federal land, including Naval Base Point Loma, Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery and Cabrillo National Monument. A moving truck cannot simply drive onto the base. Visitors need a sponsor before the base Pass & ID office (Building 174, at Rosecrans Street and Strothe Road) will issue a pass, and commercial vehicles go through an inspection point.
If your move starts or ends on base, arrange sponsorship with your command early and tell us when you book, so we can send the crew and vehicle details in time.

What Does a Point Loma Move Cost?
We charge the same hourly rate everywhere in San Diego, with a three-hour minimum and Double Drive Time:
| Crew | Cash | Card |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers and a 16ft truck | $119/hr | $129/hr |
| 3 movers and a 26ft truck | $159/hr | $169/hr |
| 4 movers and a 26ft truck | $199/hr | $209/hr |
| 4 movers and two 26ft trucks | $239/hr | $249/hr |
In Point Loma the total depends mostly on access. A hillside home with front steps and a steep drive takes longer than a flat lot, and a third mover often cuts the hours enough to pay for itself. For example, a job that takes two movers four hours comes to $476 at the cash rate. See our Like Deals page for full details, or read how much local movers cost in San Diego.
Parking, Permits and Street Rules
Most Point Loma moves need no City permit: the truck parks in your driveway or at the curb outside. A City permit only comes into it if something has to sit in the public right of way.
If you are unsure whether your move needs one, tell us your address when you book and we will check.
Containers, pods and traffic control
- Storage containers or moving pods on the street or sidewalk need a City right-of-way permit. The City currently charges $87.68 per week (one-week maximum) plus an $87.68 processing fee, and needs at least three working days’ notice. No Parking signs must go up 72 hours before placement.
- Traffic control permits are changing. The City has proposed a new fee of $38.85 per approved permit from November 1, 2026, subject to City Council approval.

Looking for some quick answers to keep your move running smooth? Check out these common questions for additional help along the way.
How much does it cost to hire movers in Point Loma?
Our crews cost from $119 an hour for two movers and a 16ft truck (cash rate), with a three-hour minimum. Hillside homes with steps or steep driveways may need a third mover, which usually shortens the job.
What is the best time to move in Point Loma?
Mid-week and mid-month if you can. Summer and the end of each month are busiest, and weekday mornings make street parking easier on the ocean side.
Do you offer packing services in Point Loma?
Yes. We can pack the whole home or just fragile items, and supply boxes and materials. See our packing and unpacking service.
Can you move me on or off Naval Base Point Loma?
Yes, once base access is arranged. You will need a sponsor through your command so the base Pass & ID office can issue the crew’s passes. Tell us when you book and we will send the crew and vehicle details you need.
Can you help with furniture disassembly and reassembly?
Yes. Our crews take apart and put back together beds, tables and most standard furniture as part of the hourly rate.
Do I need a permit to move in Point Loma?
Usually not. If the truck parks in your driveway or at the curb for the day, no City permit is needed. A storage container or pod on the street needs a City right-of-way permit, currently $87.68 per week plus an $87.68 processing fee.
Can a large moving truck get up my street?
Often, but not always. Some Point Loma streets are steep, narrow or lined with low trees. We check the address before move day and send a 16ft truck, or two smaller loads, if a 26ft truck will not fit.
Are you licensed to move household goods in California?
Yes. Like Movers LLC holds household mover permit MTR No. 0192555 from the Bureau of Household Goods and Services. See how to check a mover’s license.
