Send us your pickup and delivery addresses, preferred dates, home size, access details, packing requirements and anything unusual about the move.

Why CareMore Focuses on California Moves
CareMore is a California moving company rather than a nationwide moving network. We see that as an advantage for customers moving between Northern and Southern California.
Our team regularly deals with the realities of California moves: San Francisco parking restrictions, apartment elevators, Certificates of Insurance, steep streets, long carries, Southern California traffic, building access and coordinating moves that may require several hundred miles of driving.
By focusing on California relocations, we can provide a more personal and predictable service than a system built around nationwide freight schedules and multiple carrier handoffs.
What Types of Southern California Moves Do We Handle?
Bay Area to Southern California relocations come in all sizes.
Moving From the Bay Area to Southern California
People relocate from the Bay Area to Southern California for many different reasons. Some are moving for a new job in Los Angeles or San Diego. Others are moving closer to family, buying a home, retiring, relocating while working remotely or simply choosing a different lifestyle.
Regardless of the reason, moving several hundred miles requires more planning than a local relocation. You need to think about when your current home will be packed, when the moving truck can load, when you will travel south and when the new property will be ready for delivery.
If the dates do not line up perfectly, let us know. Packing, transportation and temporary storage can often be combined into one moving plan.
Planning Both Ends of Your California Move
Access Can Make a Big Difference
San Francisco and other dense Bay Area cities can involve difficult loading conditions.
Tell us about stairs, elevators, loading docks, long hallways, steep streets, parking permits, loading zones, Certificates of Insurance and building move requirements before moving day.
Prepare the New Home Too
The destination may have its own building rules or parking challenges.
Let us know about gated communities, elevators, HOA restrictions, loading docks, narrow driveways, difficult parking and scheduled move-in times so we can plan the delivery before the truck arrives.
How Much Does It Cost to Move From the Bay Area to Southern California?
There is no single price for a Bay Area to Southern California move because the cost depends on the size and complexity of the relocation.
Important factors include the amount being moved, pickup city, destination, stairs or elevators, parking and walking distance, packing requirements, special items, moving dates and whether temporary storage is needed.
The best way to get an accurate price is to provide us with detailed information about the move. For larger relocations, photos, video or an estimate walkthrough can help us understand the scope before providing the moving plan.
