Open the guide →With Best Movers LA, local moves cost $88 per hour for 2 movers and a truck, or $128 per hour for 3 movers. A typical 1-bedroom apartment move takes 3–4 hours ($300–$400 total); a 3-bedroom home usually takes 6–8 hours ($840–$1,440). Best Movers LA gives a guaranteed flat hourly rate up front with no hidden fees.
The best movers in Los Angeles are fully insured, employ W-2 (not day-labor) crews, and provide a written flat-rate quote before move day. Best Movers LA meets all three: active cargo and liability insurance, 14 background-checked W-2 employees, 3,400+ moves completed since 2020, and a flat hourly rate confirmed in writing. Look for a valid CPUC CAL-T number on any LA mover you consider — it's the state license required to legally move household goods.
A 2-bedroom apartment move in Los Angeles typically takes 4–6 hours with a 3-mover crew, for a total of $560–$840. Factors that add time: 3rd-floor walk-up, long carry from parking, elevator wait time, or a lot of assembled furniture. Best Movers LA plans logistics (parking, elevator holds) in advance so the clock doesn't run while the crew problem-solves on-site.
We carry full cargo and liability insurance, and every crew member is background-checked and W-2 employed — no day labor.
Yes. Best Movers LA keeps same-day slots available every day — call before 1 PM and a crew can be dispatched that afternoon. Same-day moves are charged at the same flat hourly rate with no emergency surcharge.
Yes — Best Movers LA operates 7 days a week, 7 AM to 8 PM, including weekends and holidays. Weekend rates are identical to weekday rates; no surcharge. Weekend and end-of-month dates do book earlier, so reserve 3–6 weeks ahead for those.

No. Our hourly rate includes stairs, standard heavy items (up to 300 lbs), fuel, tape, shrink wrap, moving blankets and assembly/disassembly. Specialty items like pianos and gun safes are quoted up front.
Check for a CPUC CAL-T number (required for all licensed California household movers), active cargo and liability insurance, W-2 employees (not 1099 contractors), and a written flat-rate quote.
