Rules and Fees That Catch People Off Guard
California's Double Drive Time regulation lets movers bill twice the travel time between your old and new addresses, so a wider gap between homes shows up directly on the invoice. Hilly pockets, narrow streets and tight apartment lots in La Habra can also trigger long-carry or stair fees when the truck cannot park near your door, so sort out parking or permits in advance.
- Weekend, end-of-month and May-through-September bookings can inflate the bill by 15% - 25%; a mid-week, mid-month slot is the cheaper play.
- Confirm the company holds an active license with California's Bureau of Household Goods and Services before signing anything.
- Free basic coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item - a broken 30-pound television would return just $18 - so weigh Full Value Protection for anything valuable.

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 Orange County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 9% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
