Moving from Los Angeles to San Jose for a new job and need to be in before day one? We plan the whole move backward from your start date, handle the Bay Area building paperwork, and give you a flat price your relocation package can use.
San Jose sits at the heart of Silicon Valley, and most people making the LA to San Jose move are coming for work. That changes what matters. A relocation tied to a job offer runs on a start date, and that date doesn’t move, so the whole move has to be planned backward from it. It’s about 340 miles north, far enough to be a proper long-distance move, and we handle the whole thing with our own crews and trucks. We load in LA, drive it up, and unload in San Jose, same team on both ends, so nobody hands your belongings off to a stranger partway there, and nothing is left to a subcontractor’s schedule you can’t see.

The quickest way up is the I-5 through the Central Valley, around 340 miles and five to six hours of driving before you cut west into the South Bay. Highway 101 up the coast is an option when it fits, though it’s slower.
Because this is a long-distance move and not a same-day local one, delivery runs on a window rather than a set hour, and the thing we plan hardest is landing it when you need it. If you’re starting a job on a Monday, we work the pickup and delivery so you’re in and set up before then, not scrambling.
We confirm your timing before the move, which matters here more than most places, since Bay Area buildings and traffic don’t leave much room for guesswork.

A to Z Packing
This isn’t an hourly job like a crosstown move. The price is built on how much you’re moving and how far, plus any packing and the access at both ends, and your home size is the biggest piece of it. A one-bedroom and a four-bedroom house are very different jobs. We don’t quote blind over the phone.
We go through your inventory first, then give you a flat price that holds, with nothing tacked on at delivery. If your employer is covering the move, we can give you the itemized quote and paperwork a relocation package usually asks for. Pack yourself instead of adding full packing to bring it down. For general pricing, see our rates page.
San Jose is more spread out than San Francisco, so the job usually looks different. Family neighborhoods like Willow Glen, Almaden, and Evergreen mean houses with driveways and yards rather than walk-ups.
Newer condo and townhome complexes near Santana Row and downtown come with reserved elevators, a certificate of insurance, and set move-in windows.
And across the valley, gated and HOA communities want notice at the gate ahead of time. Tell us the neighborhood and building when you book and we sort the access before the day, so a tight move-in window doesn’t turn into a problem on arrival.
Upfront pricing, licensed crews, your own team start to finish
An LA to San Jose move covers the whole job: furniture apart and back together, wrapping and padding, loading, the drive, and placing everything room by room at the San Jose end. Pianos, antiques, and fragile pieces go to crews who handle them regularly.
We run other routes out of LA too, from San Francisco and Sacramento to San Diego, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. See all destinations.

That’s most of this route. Tell us the date you need to be in and we plan the pickup and delivery window backward from it, so you’re set up before day one.
Yes. We give you an itemized, flat quote and the documentation a relocation package typically needs for reimbursement.
The drive is about 340 miles, five to six hours up the I-5. For a dedicated truck going straight through, delivery is usually quick for a long-distance move. We confirm your window before we start.
It depends on how much you’re moving and the services you need, not an hourly rate. Home size is the biggest factor. You get a flat price upfront once we’ve gone through your inventory, with nothing added at delivery.
Yes. Those buildings usually want a reserved elevator and a certificate of insurance before move day, which we arrange with management in advance.
We arrange gate access and work around any HOA move hours ahead of the date, so the crew isn’t held up at the gate.
Yes. Storage in transit holds everything and delivers when you’re ready.
