What movers cost in South Pasadena
Two formulas, from the published model. Under about 100 miles you pay for a crew's time; beyond it you pay for weight and distance. Neither number is a quote from any company on this page.
Local moves in South Pasadena: billed by the hour
Crew × hours on site × $40–$50 per mover per hour, plus a $75 travel fee. Distance inside the metro barely matters; hours do.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $235 – $375 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $315 – $575 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $475 – $775 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $795 – $1,425 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,355 – $2,075 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,675 – $2,475 |

Moving out of state from South Pasadena?

Long-distance movers in South PasadenaBefore you book a South Pasadena mover
The register tells you who is licensed. These six checks tell you whether the company in front of you is the one on the register, and what the price you are quoted actually commits them to.
- 1
Open the USDOT number on the federal record
Operating authority must be active and the legal name and South Pasadena address must match what you were told. No number, or a number that belongs to another company, ends the conversation.
- 2
Ask whose number will be on the bill of lading
A van-line agent moves you under the van line's authority; an independent under its own; a broker under a carrier you have not met. The company legally responsible for your goods is the one whose USDOT number is on the contract.
- 3
Get a surveyed, written estimate
Long-distance prices depend on weight, and nobody can weigh a home over the phone. A binding estimate fixes the price for the listed inventory; a non-binding one may not be exceeded by more than 110% at delivery.
- 4
Choose valuation before moving day
Released value pays 60 cents per pound per article. Full value protection is the default unless you waive it in writing. Decide now, not after a claim.
- 5
Pay little or nothing up front
Established carriers bill on delivery. A large deposit, especially by wire, cash or a payment app, is the most reliable warning sign in the business.
- 6
Read the estimate for the extras
Stairs, long carries, shuttle trucks, packing and storage-in-transit are separate lines. If they are not on the estimate, they will be on the bill.

Movers in South Pasadena: questions people ask
How many licensed movers are there in South Pasadena, CA?
None is registered in South Pasadena itself on our snapshot, but 40 listed carriers work within 30 miles (Los Angeles, Alhambra, San Marino, Pasadena and nearby), each with an active registration and household goods declared.
How much do movers cost in South Pasadena?
Local moves are billed by the hour: $40–$50 per mover per hour plus about $75 travel in our model, which puts a two-bedroom home (2 movers, 5–7 hours) at $475 – $775 and a three-bedroom home at $795 – $1,425. A long-distance move from South Pasadena to New York City, NY (about 2,844 miles) is $12,798 – $17,064 for a two-bedroom home, transport only.
Who is the largest mover near South Pasadena?
By reported fleet, Move Happy Acme in Los Angeles, CA, with 31 trucks on its filing (USDOT 3136064). Fleet is self-reported and means capacity, not quality; read the record behind the number before you book.
Do South Pasadena movers need a USDOT number for a local move?
A move that stays inside California is regulated by the state, and the carrier needs whatever California requires plus a USDOT number if it runs commercial trucks. 13 of the 40 carriers here also hold interstate authority, which is what a move across a state line requires.
Is this list a recommendation?
No. It is the federal register filtered to household-goods carriers based in or near South Pasadena, ordered by distance and reported fleet. Nobody pays to appear, nothing is re-ranked, and we have used none of these companies. Every row links to the carrier's own record.
About this page. Carriers are from the FMCSA Motor Carrier Census (snapshot September 24, 2026), filtered to active registrations with household goods declared as cargo, a moving-company name and a fleet or drivers on file. "Based in South Pasadena" is the city on the carrier's own filing; the 30-mile radius uses ZIP-code centroids from the Census Bureau. Cost figures come from the published model, not from any carrier. Nothing is re-ranked and nobody pays for placement.
