Home / Phoenix / Long Distance Movers / Phoenix to San Francisco Movers
Bound for the Bay? Our Phoenix to San Francisco movers plan the hills, the parking and the bridge crossing before your truck leaves the Valley. Get a written price range and lock in your date.
Google Maps puts the drive from our Tempe office at about 764 miles, west through the desert and then north on Interstate 5, or roughly 12 hours behind the wheel before stops. At the far end is a city of 873,965 people in the 2020 Census, built on steep streets with tight curb space.
We complete more than 1,200 moves a year, and every mover on your job has finished our 160-hour training program. That training shows on hill streets, where loading ramps, wheel chocks and careful carries matter.
Three things decide where your San Francisco price lands inside its range.
The number of rooms and large pieces sets the truck space and how many movers we send.
Steep blocks, flights of stairs and a long walk from the curb add time at delivery.
Summer weekends and the end of the month book first on this route.
These ranges include the movers, the truck, the drive up the state and the fuel surcharge.
| Size of home | Movers and truck | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one bedroom | 2 movers, 1 truck | $5,500 – $6,550 |
| Two or three bedrooms | 3 movers, 1 truck | $7,000 – $8,550 |
| Four bedrooms and up | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $10,200 – $12,450 |
Packing, materials, storage and added valuation coverage are listed as separate lines on the quote.

We list every room, note the grade of your new street and ask about stairs, elevators and garage access.
Self-pack or have our packers handle the kitchen, closets and fragile pieces, sized for compact city rooms.
Heavy furniture goes in first along the front wall, cartons fill the gaps and straps hold each section in place.
Your home rides out of the desert and up the Central Valley, with timing updates as the truck moves.
The truck parks with its wheels curbed, and we carry each piece to the room you choose, then rebuild beds and tables.
If your lease or closing date moves, your things wait in storage monitored 24/7 until you call for delivery.
Interstate trips from the Valley with one truck, one coordinator and a written range for your home size. We pad, load and drive your home, then set it up in your new rooms.
Whole-home packing or just the fragile rooms, with cartons sized for smaller city closets and kitchens. Each box is labeled with the room it goes to.
Monitored storage while you wait on a San Francisco lease, closing or remodel. Your things are inventoried going in and delivered when you are ready.
Pianos padded, strapped to a board and carried up steep front steps by extra movers, with the route through the home planned first.
Art, antiques and fine furniture wrapped twice and set in place at delivery, with packing debris taken away.
Movers to load a rental truck or portable container you drive yourself, with pads and straps on every tier.

The last stretch into the city brings its own rules, so we plan them before loading day in Phoenix.
Five things to settle before loading day in Phoenix.
Note the street grade, the sweeping signs and where a truck could stop near your door.
Find out about elevator hours, stair access and any move-in rules from the manager.
Reserve a time for your new license and bring a document with your new address.
Papers, medicine, chargers and valuables ride in your car, not on the truck.
If the lease starts late, tell your coordinator so storage is planned in advance.
Your move from Arizona to California is interstate, so federal rules apply. Read the FMCSA Ready to Move brochure and the Protect Your Move page before you sign anything.
Once you become a California resident, you must get a California driver license within 10 days, per the DMV Fast Facts guide. Plan for a knowledge test and a vision exam at the DMV office, and bring a document that proves your San Francisco address.
They were so quick and so friendly and so reasonably priced. They didn’t complain once to us about moving a 3rd floor apartment with no elevator (even though we felt so bad). I would highly recommend them!!
The best movers I’ve ever had in Tempe. Lind and his team were awesome. They were very careful with everything they moved and finished quickly. I will definitely use them again in the future! 10/10
Jesse and the guys have relocated 2 of my clients with extreme satisfaction! Not only did we get courteous and professional service…
All three were left on Google by customers of our Tempe office. Read every review on Google.
Call our Tempe office and we will start your San Francisco plan today.
Yes, with the wheels curbed and the brake set, as SFMTA requires on grades. Tell us your block so we can check the grade and the signs before move day.
Yes. List the piano and the stairs when you book, and we bring the padding, straps, boards and extra movers the carry needs.
Soon after you move. California asks new residents to switch within a short window, and the DMV visit includes a knowledge test and a vision exam.
Yes. Your belongings can wait in our monitored storage after pickup and come north once you have the keys, priced as its own line.
It is a long day or more of driving for a loaded truck, plus rest stops along the way. Your coordinator sets the delivery window with you in writing before loading.
Call or send the form with both addresses, your timing and the size of your home. Our Tempe office sends back a written range and a planned pickup day.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
