What to Expect When Moving from San Francisco to LA
Travel Route
The most direct route that will cut costs of extra miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles is via I-5 South, which takes you through the Central Valley of California. This highway is 380 miles long and takes around 6 to 7 hours drive time, depending on traffic. It’s a straightforward drive and quite boring, but it’s the quickest route.
If you’re traveling with kids and you’re looking for a more scenic option, you can take the Pacific Coast Highway which means coastal views and takes you through Monterey, Big Sur, and Santa Barbara. This route is much slower, and you will hit city traffic.

Cross Country Moving
A long distance move takes a lot of planning, preparation, and coordination. Fortunately, the team at Moving APT offers all three – and more.
When you book your San Francisco to LA moving company, you want a team you can trust. You need to be sure they’ll show up on time, go where they’re supposed to go, and handle all your stuff with care while they’re at it. That’s why we vet all our movers, and that’s why we do a little secret shopping to make sure they’re staying honest and staying sharp.
Full Packing
Sure, you’ve seen the “life hacks” about using old Amazon boxes to pack up all your stuff, but are you really gonna trust cardboard that’s been sitting around for three years? Don’t be cheap, and don’t be reckless. Pay the pros to handle the packing, and make sure you’re getting the best packing services in San Francisco.
What makes Moving APT so awesome when it comes to packing? High-quality boxes and padding supplies. Specialized equipment for loading and hauling. Extra TLC for high-value stuff like art and antiques. Custom crating for those awkward-shaped, awkward-sized items. The list goes on.
Storage Solutions
You can’t keep a moving truck in your driveway forever. The neighbors won’t like it, and your movers have places to go. Good thing Moving APT offers top rated LA storage, too.
If you need more time to get unpacked and get situated, we get it. That’s why we offer secure, on-site storage for all that extra stuff. You get more time to rearrange your new place at your own pace, and when you need that last box or missing end table, we’ll run it over to you so you don’t have to make any extra trips. More flexibility, and more security. That’s what you get with Moving APT.

Whether you’ve got inventory to pack up, machinery or appliances to load, or just one of those weirdo tech-bro playgrounds in the middle of your office (think pool tables, arcade cabinets, and massage chairs), we can pack it, haul it, and get it unloaded and unpacked with minimal fuss.

Answering San Francisco to LA Moving FAQs
Moving in San Francisco can take anywhere from 7 to 21 days. There are a number of different factors at play here, but like the price of your move, it all comes down to the miles and the mass.
Drivers aren’t allowed to clock more than 400 miles of interstate travel per day. That 400-per-day rule is a good way to figure out the baseline for your move’s duration. But aside from rules and regulations, movers typically bundle smaller moves together to avoid wasted space in a truck or trailer. It keeps costs down (and your stuff will be safely separated), but there may be delays for pickups and deliveries if you’re just moving a small amount of belongings.
If you want to really prepare for moving day, we recommend starting early. Like, WAY EARLY. Start planning at least two or three months in advance, and try to downsize as much as possible before you start shopping for moving quotes. If you’re doing your own packing, start with your least-used items, and slowly work your way to your most-used items.
PS: If you’re looking for more last-minute advice, we recommend putting all your daily essentials in one easy-to-access backpack or suitcase. That way you won’t have to dig through tons of boxes just to find your toothbrush.
