Ready to trade Kern County for the San Diego coast? Our Bakersfield to San Diego movers load your household on one truck and carry it south past Los Angeles. Get a quote.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
The movers who wrap your furniture in Bakersfield are employees of Mentors Moving & Storage, and each of them cleared a background check before working a single move.
The trip runs about 232 miles south on Interstate 5, over the Grapevine and down through Los Angeles and Orange County. San Diego counted 1,386,932 residents in the 2020 Census, so we ask early about parking, stairs and building rules at your new address.
Your San Diego price lands inside its range based on three things.
Bedroom count and large furniture set the number of movers and the truck space.
Stairs, elevators and a long carry from the curb add time at delivery.
Summer, weekends and the end of the month are booked first.
The movers, the truck, the full trip south and the fuel surcharge are inside each range.
| Size of home | Movers and truck | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one bedroom | 2 movers, 1 truck | $2,850 – $3,650 |
| Two or three bedrooms | 3 movers, 1 truck | $4,300 – $5,650 |
| Four bedrooms and up | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $6,100 – $8,050 |
Packing help, cartons, a storage stop and higher valuation coverage are priced one by one.
From Kern County to San Diego, Los Angeles, the Bay Area or Sacramento. We load in Bakersfield, drive your goods to the new city on one truck and unload them where you want them.
Leaving California altogether? We pad, inventory and load your home here, then drive it to your new state on a dedicated truck with a delivery window set in writing.
Full packing for the whole home or partial packing for the kitchen, art and electronics, with every carton labeled by room so unloading goes straight to the right place.
If your San Diego lease starts late, your things can wait in our storage and come south when you are ready.
We help sort, pack and set up a smaller home or a retirement community apartment, and family can join every call, even from out of town.
Driving a rental truck yourself? Book our movers to load it in Bakersfield or unload it in San Diego. You drive, and we pad and strap the load.
More from our Bakersfield office: piano movers, white glove delivery and office movers, each booked through the same Gilmore Avenue office and the same quote.
These five steps keep the drive south on schedule and the unload short.
Book the loading day once your San Diego lease or closing is set. Summer and month-end dates go first.
Check door widths, stair turns and elevator size for your biggest pieces before they leave Bakersfield.
Give away tools, paint and yard gear you will not need near the coast, and drain fuel from mowers and trimmers.
Sheets, towels, a few dishes and a shower curtain make the first evening in San Diego easier.
Tell us where the truck can stop at your new address, and reserve the elevator if your building asks for it.
For shipments of 5,000 pounds or more, you can ask in writing for pickup on an agreed date and delivery within two consecutive agreed dates. If either date is missed, the mover pays you $100 for each day of delay, on top of any claim, under the California maximum rate tariff. Claim it in writing within 30 days of delivery.
If you pay a deposit, the state bureau says to get a receipt and to check that the company named on it is the one they hired.
Do not leave a towed trailer on a San Diego street overnight. The city bans oversized and non-motorized vehicles from 2 to 6 a.m. without a temporary overnight permit, and any car on the street must move every 72 hours.
Zach & the team were just fabulous. Moving was stressful enough but Mentors did great with a quick and transparent quote, easy confirmation, and quick work on the moving day. Ended up quoting me an extra hour, so total was less than we expected. Everything was wrapped and handled well. No long gap between locations, which is truly a blessing compared to past experiences with other movers. I highly recommend them!!
The team of 4 arrived on time and got right to work. They did a great job of carefully wrapping each piece of furniture. Then even packed a few drawers that I had forgotten to empty. They inventoried and stickered every item and provided me a detailed list of what went into the truck. We are very pleased. (sorry it won’t let me upload any photos)
We had a great experience with Mentors. Everything was well coordinated and we had three really good guys who worked with care. They also helped us relocate some furniture that was being left behind and were patient when we changed our minds about where a piece of furniture was to go. On time for loading the truck and right on time for unloading.
Each review was posted on Google for our Bakersfield office. See them all on Google.
Our Gilmore Avenue office books, schedules and staffs your move to San Diego. One call to that office changes a date, adds a service or answers a question about your quote. Questions that come up after delivery go to the same office and the same phone line.

Plan on a full day for the drive plus loading and unloading time. Larger homes often load one day and deliver the next, and we agree on the dates with you before loading.
They are employees of Mentors Moving & Storage, and each one passed a background check before their first job.
On heavier shipments, California rules let you ask in writing for agreed pickup and delivery dates. If the mover misses one, it owes you a payment for each day of delay.
Yes. Outdoor sets and shelving get padded and strapped like the rest of the load. Clean off dirt and empty the shelves before moving day.
Yes. We load in Bakersfield and keep your household in storage until the closing, then deliver it. Storage is quoted separately.
Phone us or send the form with both addresses, the week you want and your number of bedrooms. A written range and a loading day come back from our Bakersfield office.
