They were amazing and efficient!!!! They even got my 70in computer desk upstairs without having to take it apart, which probably saved some major time, they moved all my stuff in under 3 hours! None of my furniture was damaged and nothing went missing either! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! And if you pay in cash, they have the best price in San Diego!!!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Maina! We are so glad our movers got that 70-inch desk upstairs in one piece and had you moved in under three hours with nothing damaged. Careful, efficient local moving is exactly what we aim for in San Diego, and we truly appreciate the high recommendation.

I've never had much luck with movers. Even after checking reviews and doing my research, I often ended up disappointed with the service. But with California Movers, I can definitely say that Bob and Sula changed my experience completely! They were very nice, reliable, professional, and careful with all my furniture and belongings. They handled everything with care, worked efficiently, and made sure my items were safely moved. They were also friendly, respectful, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Moving can be very stressful, but Bob and Sula made everything much easier for me. I truly appreciate their hard work and excellent service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable movers. Thank you, Bob and Sula!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Melissa! We are thrilled Bob and Sula turned your past moving luck around and handled all your belongings with such care. Reliable, professional service is what we want every San Diego move to feel like. We appreciate you recommending them!

We had Vladimir and Sergei. They were professional and on time. They worked non stop to move my 2 bedroom house. They handled everything with care and paid attention to detail. They communicated well and honestly I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless move during this stressful time! Thank you so much and I would highly recommend this company and specifically these 2 men.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Jill! We are glad Vladimir and Sergei made your two-bedroom move easy and handled everything with care and attention to detail. That is exactly the moving experience we want for our San Diego customers. We appreciate the kind words!

Five days before I needed to move I called cali movers. They gave me the best offer of four different movers. Five days later 4 men showed up, packed the truck in 3.5 hours and was moved 600 miles away by 8am. They did it at the price they said.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Mike! We are glad we gave you the best quote and got you packed and moved 600 miles right on the price we promised. Dependable long-distance moving from San Diego is what we are here for. Enjoy the new place!

Hired Cali Moving and Storage a week ago for my move from SD to LA, was hesitating from the beginning as I got several recommendations from my friends of different companies, but I didn’t regret my decision at all. Neat professional movers, price was reasonable, matched my expectations. Handled all my belongings carefully. Highly recommended
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the trust! We know choosing between moving companies is tough, so it means a lot that your San Diego to LA move lived up to expectations. We are glad our crew handled everything carefully and kept the pricing straightforward. Highly appreciated!

What a last-minute move covers

  • Loading and unloading on short notice
  • Padding and wrapping furniture before it goes on the truck
  • Disassembling and reassembling standard furniture
  • Transport between your old and new address across the San Diego area
  • Setting boxes and furniture down in the rooms you choose

A rushed timeline does not mean rushed work. Your move gets the same movers, equipment, and care as one booked weeks ahead.

When we can move you same day

Same-day availability depends on the day and how booked we are, so the earlier in the day you call, the better the chance we can fit you in. Month-end and weekends fill first. If we cannot move you today, we will give you the soonest slot we have, often the next morning, rather than leave you waiting.

What helps us move you fast

The biggest thing that speeds up a last-minute move is how ready the home is when our movers arrive. Boxes taped and stacked, furniture cleared of loose items, and a parking spot held near the door all cut the time on the clock. If you have not had time to pack, we can bring materials and pack for you, though that adds time to the job.

Where we serve

Our movers cover the whole area for rush jobs. Most last-minute moves are handled across San Diego, and up in North County we are usually close enough from Carlsbad to reach you quickly.

Booking a rush move

Call as early as you can and have your two addresses, the size of the move, and your access details ready. We will confirm what we can do, give you a clear quote on the spot, and get movers headed your way. If your new place is not ready, we can also hold your belongings in storage until you are.
