Moving Companies in Brisbane, CA
Local move pricing
For moves under 100 miles, local crews in the Brisbane area usually bill by the hour, plus a truck fee or travel-time charge. The crew size changes the rate.
| Crew | Typical hourly rate | Good fit |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | About $140 to $160 per hour | Studios or 1-bedroom apartments |
| 3 movers + truck | About $185 to $215 per hour | 2-to-3-bedroom homes or medium apartments |
| 4 movers + truck | About $230 to $265 per hour | Large 3+ bedroom family homes |
Extra costs and rules
- California allows double drive-time billing: the trip from the crew's base to your origin and from your destination back can be charged twice, or a flat travel fee may apply.
- Steep outdoor steps, terraced walkways, or no elevator at a hillside home can bring per-flight or distance fees.
- Boxes, tape, and wardrobe cartons add up when you are not packing yourself.
Brisbane-specific planning
- Wind near the ridge and upper slopes can turn large furniture and mattresses into sails; fragile pieces need tight blankets and straps.
- Narrow, winding streets may require temporary parking controls or notification through the City of Brisbane before a large truck blocks traffic.
- For intrastate moves, verify a mover's CAL T-number with the Bureau of Household Goods and Services.
- Walk through your home with the estimator so heavy items are on the inventory and not a surprise on moving day.

Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts San Mateo County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
