How Much Does It Cost to Move in San Jose?

In San Jose, you can choose hourly billing or a flat rate. The total mostly depends on the number of bedrooms, how full the garage is, long carries across apartment complexes, and any packing, storage, or crating you add.

Hourly Rate Moving

Hourly pricing is ideal for most local San Jose 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 San Jose Move

Clear the garage and settle gate or leasing-office rules first, since those two items affect the schedule most.

Before your scheduled date:

Send the crew’s arrival time to your gatehouse or front desk.
Confirm move-in hours and elevator access with each leasing office.
Reserve a loading spot if your complex has one.
Sort garage shelves into keep, donate, and haul-away piles.
Back up computers and carry laptops and work devices yourself.
Tag office desks and equipment with their new room numbers.
Set aside sheets, chargers, and toiletries for the first night.
Empty the freezer early so it has a full day to defrost.
Update your Move Coordinator on any change to dates or items.

San Jose Moving Questions Answered

Where does the moving truck park in San Jose?

At most houses the truck parks out front or backs into the driveway once cars are moved. Parts of downtown and the blocks around San Jose State are residential permit parking zones, where vehicles without a permit can be cited, so we check your block’s rules ahead of time.

Can you relocate an office without losing a workday?

Yes. Office moves can start after close on a Friday so everyone starts Monday at their new desks. Your IT team disconnects and reconnects computers and network gear, while our crew packs, moves, and reassembles workstations, chairs, and conference tables.

Do you help San Jose State students move?

Yes. Student moves cluster in May, when the spring semester ends, and in August, before fall classes start. Our student movers handle dorm rooms, shared apartments, and storage between semesters, so book early for those weeks.

Can you move us into an upstairs apartment with no elevator?

Yes. Many San Jose complexes reach upper units by exterior stairs with tight landings. Large sofas, beds, and dressers are checked against the landing size before move day, and heavy pieces get extra hands on the stairs. Mention the floor number when you request a quote.

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.
