Already on the truck when we pull up.
A local move costs $139 an hour for two movers and a truck, plus $50 an hour for each extra mover. You pay a 3 to 4 hour minimum, then we bill in 15-minute increments. Everything on this list is included in that rate.
Packing service is $35–$50 an hour per packer, with materials included when we pack the whole home. Deposit: $100 for a local move, $200 for long distance.
From first call to last box, here’s the route.
01
Tell us the addresses and the big items. It takes a few minutes.
02
For bigger homes we come out, count the furniture and give you the hours, crew size and price in writing. A $100 deposit holds a local date ($200 for long distance). Book 10 days ahead, or 3 weeks ahead from May through September.
03
Floors and door frames get covered first. Then we pad, wrap and load, and heavy pieces go up on the lift-gate.
04
Every piece goes into the room you choose. If something arrives damaged, you get a claim link, and a third-party claims company calls within 1 business day.
05
Closing got pushed? Short-term storage during a move is included. We hold the load and deliver it when the keys are yours.
A storage container in your driveway, on your schedule.
Remodeling, between leases, or staging a house to sell? We drop off a steel container, you fill it at your own pace, and we store it or move it when you call.
No rental truck, no loading dock. The container sits at ground level, so you carry things straight in: a box at a time, or a whole garage on a Sunday.
Standard: fits a 1–2 bedroom apartment
Large: fits a 2–3 bedroom home
Both 8 ft high and 8 ft deep.
Kept at our Sorrento Valley facility, either size is $225 a month, plus one $150 round trip to take it there and bring it back. A loading crew is $139 an hour for 2 movers (3-hour minimum; most containers take about 2 hours to load). Delivery to your home and long-distance shipping are quoted upfront, with no hidden fees. Price-match guarantee; military discounts on request. Check your HOA or property rules before delivery.
Not sure which one fits?
Give us your dates and roughly how much stuff. We’ll tell you which option costs less.
Storage that works around your dates.
Escrow slips, the lease ends a week early, the kitchen remodel takes twice as long. Keep the container at home, or let us hold everything until you’re ready.
Four things worth checking before a container lands at your curb, each with the detail and where it comes from.
San Diego’s standard parking space is 8 ft wide and 18 ft long. Our standard container covers 40 sq ft of it and the large one 56 sq ft, so the box fits where a car parks.
The City needs a Traffic Control Permit only when a container sits in the street or on the sidewalk. It lasts up to 7 days and costs $87.68 a week plus an $87.68 processing fee, and $20 a day for each parking meter. Never in front of a red, white or blue curb.

Damp in a closed steel box comes mainly from the things packed in it: cardboard, wood and fabric that hold water. Pack everything dry and the walls stay dry.

85% of San Diego’s rain falls November through March, and the coast is historically foggiest in fall and winter. Spring and summer low clouds usually clear by afternoon.
