The route
How long does a move from San Diego to San Jose take?
San Jose is a Bay Area run: I-5 north through the Central Valley, then west toward the South Bay. Your delivery window is set in your written quote, and your things ride on 1 dedicated truck with no warehouse stop, from your San Diego door to your San Jose door.
The route
Your options
Dedicated truck, shared truck or container to San Jose?

| Dedicated truck (One Stop) | $4,800 | In your written quote |
| Shared truck (One Stop) | $11 per cu ft, 400 cu ft minimum ($4,400) | Up to 21 days |

Plan ahead
What should I plan for when moving to San Jose?
For San Jose, sort out building access early. Many townhome and condo communities set move hours, require a certificate of insurance and limit where a truck can park. Send us the rules at least 2 weeks out; we carry $1M general liability and plan the crew around them.

Moving the other way
Do you move people from San Jose to San Diego?
Yes. San Jose to San Diego moves use the same rate card, quoted in writing for your two addresses after an in-home or virtual walkthrough, and the same full-time crew loads and unloads. If your San Diego place isn’t ready, storage units start at $245 a month.
Your rights
Who regulates a move from San Diego to San Jose?
A San Diego to San Jose move never leaves California, so the Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS) regulates it, not the federal FMCSA. BHGS has licensed movers since July 1, 2018; ours is CAL-190616. Basic valuation pays 60¢ a pound per article.
Dates don’t line up?
What if my San Jose home isn’t ready?
We hold your things in San Diego until your San Jose keys are ready: short-term storage during the move is included, and units from $245 a month cover longer gaps. Tell us the gap when you book and it goes on your written quote.
