Delivering in Santa Fe

Which Santa Fe neighborhoods do you deliver to?

All of Santa Fe and the county: the Historic District, Canyon Road, the Railyard, Eldorado and the south side. Historic District lanes are narrow and parking is scarce, and foothill drives can be steep or unpaved, so tell us about the access when you book; a $750 shuttle truck reaches places a full-size truck can’t.

Santa Fe neighborhoods

Historic District and the PlazaNarrow adobe-lined streets with little parking. A smaller shuttle truck ($750) is often the answer.
Canyon RoadGalleries and older homes on a narrow lane. We plan where the truck parks before move day.
Railyard and GuadalupeMixed-use district near downtown with lofts and newer buildings.
EldoradoSoutheast of the city with larger lots and long drives.
South sideResidential neighborhoods near shopping with easier truck access.

After you arrive

What do I need to do after moving to Santa Fe?

Out-of-state cars need a VIN inspection before New Mexico registration. The MVD emissions certificate applies only to Bernalillo County, not Santa Fe. State MVD offices require appointments, so book early, and start power with PNM before the truck arrives.

Seasons

When is the best time to move to Santa Fe?

Late spring to early fall. Santa Fe is high country with snow in winter, so a winter move needs slack around delivery day and a clear, safe walk for the crew. Summer afternoons bring monsoon storms, so morning unloading is easiest.

WinterSnow and ice on steep or unpaved drives can need the $750 shuttle truck. Keep the walk and driveway clear.
Summer stormsAfternoon monsoon storms can stop unloading for a while; morning unloading is easiest.
In your carMedicines, candles, vinyl records, electronics and anything that melts or freezes ride with you.
BookingLong-distance trucks are booked by date, and a deposit holds yours.
