A two-bedroom is the most common move we do in LA, so the numbers here are well-tested. The short version: most two-bedroom apartments run $560–$840 all-in — but a few factors decide where you land in that range.

The typical job

A two-bedroom is usually best handled by a 3-mover crew and a truck at $128/hr, taking 4–6 hours for a local move. That's the $560–$840 range, and it already includes the truck, fuel, blankets, wrap, tape, basic furniture assembly and stairs — no add-ons at the door. California's double-drive-time rule adds the doubled drive time between your two addresses, a small, predictable amount for a local move.

What moves you up or down the range

Time — and therefore cost — climbs with third-floor walk-ups, long carries from distant parking, elevator wait time, and lots of heavy or assembled furniture. It drops when you're fully packed before the crew arrives, parking is reserved, and the path is clear. Being boxed and ready is the single biggest lever you control; a half-packed apartment can add 1–2 hours.

Optional add-ons

If you'd rather not pack, professional packing runs $40/hr per packer with materials included — a typical two-bedroom packs in 3–4 hours. Need storage between dates, or moving a piano or gym?
