Big or Small — We'll Move It All
Exceptional Quality, Reasonable Cost.
Our hourly rates include everything you need for a smooth move, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. Fully equipped crews handle every move with care, efficiency, and precision.
Our modern moving trucks are fully equipped, spacious, and maintained to the highest standards to ensure safe, efficient transportation of your belongings across any distance. Some trucks come with walking ramps, others equipped with high-capacity liftgates, and few come with both!
Our skilled movers bring years of experience and professionalism, handling every item with care and ensuring your move is completed smoothly and stress-free from start to finish.
We use thick, premium-grade moving pads to protect your furniture and valuables from scratches, dents, and dust during loading, transport, and unloading.
Enjoy complimentary plastic wrap and tape with every move. We secure your items properly to prevent shifting, damage, or moisture exposure during transport.
Our team arrives with professional dollies, straps, and tools to handle free furniture disassembly, heavy lifting, and efficient, damage-free moving.
We provide sturdy wardrobe boxes to keep your clothes clean, wrinkle-free, and ready to hang, saving time and effort when unpacking in your new home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every move is unique! At Santa Monica Movers, we charge hourly for local moves since every home, staircase, and layout is different. We'll work quickly and carefully to keep your costs low and your experience stress-free—no surprises, just great service.
Your belongings are important to us. We're fully insured and follow California state regulations. Basic coverage is $0.60 per pound per item, and we always recommend using our free moving blankets and plastic wrap for extra protection. We treat your items like our own!
We love helping customers save! Try scheduling your move on a weekday or off-peak date, pack smaller items yourself, and declutter before moving day. Our crew works efficiently so you get the best value for your time and budget.
Never. Every mover at Santa Monica Movers is a trained, full-time professional. Our team goes through background checks, safety training, and hands-on experience to ensure your move is smooth, safe, and handled by people who care.
Booking is super easy! Just visit our Reservations Page or give us a quick call. A small reservation deposit secures your spot—no last-minute stress, just confirmed moving day peace of mind.
No problem! Just contact us as soon as you know your new date. We'll happily adjust your reservation. If you've already placed a deposit, you can reschedule or cancel free of charge with at least 72 hours' notice.
California law requires all licensed movers to charge for Double Drive Time — that's simply the travel time between your old and new address, counted twice. Don't worry, the hourly rate stays the same, and we're always upfront about costs.
We provide free plastic wrap, packing tape, and wardrobe boxes for clothes. Additional packing supplies, such as boxes, wrapping paper, bubblewrap are available upon request. Let us know in advance, and we'll make sure our truck is fully stocked with everything you need.
We don't pre-deliver supplies, but don't worry—our trucks always come equipped with boxes, tape, shrink wrap, and everything else you might need on moving day.
We usually recommend emptying dressers for safety, but if the furniture is sturdy and lightweight items are inside, our foreman may give the green light. We'll always make sure it's handled safely either way.
Tipping is never required but always appreciated! If our crew went above and beyond, most customers tip between $20 and $100 per mover, depending on the job size. A smile and a “thank you” go a long way, too!
