Home / Phoenix / Long Distance / San Diego
Want only your belongings on the truck? Our long distance movers from Phoenix to San Diego use a dedicated truck from your driveway to the coast. Ask for a price range.
The drive from our Tempe office to San Diego is about 351 miles, most of it on Interstate 8 through the low desert and then over the mountains east of the city. We plan the truck schedule around heat on one end of that road and weather in the hills on the other, both documented by NWS Phoenix and NOAA Storm Data.
Every mover we send has passed a background check before their first job. We move households to all 50 states, and San Diego is one of the trips we plan most often from the Valley.
These ranges are for the whole trip from Phoenix to San Diego by home size. Each one counts the movers, the truck, the drive and the fuel surcharge.
Small loads with easy access at both ends sit low in the range. Large homes, stairs, long carries to the door and busy summer dates sit higher.
Packing, boxes, storage and added valuation coverage are extra. Each one you add appears on its own line of your written quote.
Interstate moves follow federal rules, and the FMCSA Protect Your Move page is the best place to start. Here are four items that matter on this move.
Under 49 CFR 375.401, an interstate mover surveys your belongings before giving a written estimate. If you waive the survey, the waiver must be in writing and signed before loading.
Before you sign, read the FMCSA booklet Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move. It explains estimates, claims and what happens at delivery.
New residents need a California license within 10 days (DMV fast facts) and must register an out-of-state car within 20 days (New to California).
A city water start request can take up to two working weeks to process. New owners pick trash, recycling and organics bins online within 30 days, or the city delivers standard sizes.
