Our Irvine Moving Process

An Irvine move runs in four steps, and most of the coordination happens before the truck is loaded.

Share Your Move Details

Send both addresses, the home type, your date, and the rooms and large items moving, and we put an hourly or flat-rate price in writing.

Settle Approvals Early

You get a moving checklist, and we send any certificate of insurance your HOA or leasing office requests before move day.

Protect and Load

Floors and entry paths are covered first, and the truck is loaded in the order your new rooms will be filled.

Unload by Room

Boxes are carried straight to the rooms written on them, so unpacking can start the moment the crew leaves.

How Much Does It Cost to Move in Irvine?

Irvine moves are charged by the hour or as a flat rate. Either way, the written quote names the crew size, the truck, and every add-on you choose, so you can see what you’re paying for before you book.

Hourly Rate Moving

Hourly pricing is ideal for most local Irvine moves.

Pay based on the time it takes to complete your move.
Time starts when movers arrive and ends when the move is complete, plus fixed travel time.
Most moves require a 3-hour minimum.
Hourly rates vary by season and moving requirements.

Flat Rate Moving

Available for qualifying moves when the scope can be clearly defined in advance.

Pay one agreed price, regardless of moving time.
Pricing is based on the amount you’re moving, distance, and moving requirements.
No additional hourly charges if the move takes longer.
Changes to the agreed list of items or services may affect the price.

Preparing for Your Irvine Move

Most Irvine prep is paperwork and timing, so start these a week or two before your date.

Before your scheduled date:

Ask your HOA where the truck may park and for how long.
Reserve the elevator or a move time through your leasing office.
Book the move-out inspection and key return with your apartment office.
Return pool keys, garage remotes, and parking tags at move-out.
Leave the driveway empty so the truck can pull in near the door.
Measure sofas and dressers against townhome stairwells and landings.
Mark furniture you’re leaving behind for haul-away or resale.
Pack a first-night box with bedding, chargers, and toiletries.
Carry passports, medication, jewelry, and key documents in your own car.

Irvine Moving Questions Answered

Can your crew get into a gated Irvine neighborhood?

Yes. Guard-gated Shady Canyon and the gated sections of Turtle Ridge admit a moving truck once a resident approves it. Add our crew to your guest list or send us the gate instructions ahead of time, so the truck isn’t held at the entrance on move day.

When are UC Irvine student moves busiest?

UCI runs on the quarter system, so student moves peak in late September and mid-June, with smaller waves at the December and March breaks. Our student movers handle studios, shared apartments, and campus housing move-outs, and those peak weeks fill early.

What does an Irvine move cost?

Most of the cost is labor time, so the price rises with the number of rooms, stairs inside a townhome, the walk from the truck to your door, and how much packing you need. A free quote based on your item list gives you a written number before move day.

How early should an Irvine move be booked?

Three to four weeks covers most dates. June through August is the busiest stretch, and weekends and month-end dates go quickly all year. If your date is close, ask our last-minute movers which crews are still open.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
