Moving Companies in Malibu, CA
Look through the licensed movers below and treat each card’s license status as a basic check, the insurance badge as a coverage signal, and the review count as evidence of consistency before asking about Malibu-specific charges.
Typical Malibu moving prices
For a studio or one-bedroom, the average total runs from $450 to $700, while two-person crews commonly bill $100–$150 per hour. A two- to three-bedroom home averages $900 to $2,000+ with three- to four-person crews at $150–$250+ per hour. Labor-only loading or unloading help runs about $85 to $130 per worker.
Licensed movers typically include basic liability coverage at $0.60 per pound per item; that may be too low for art or antiques on hillside stairways, so compare insurance badges and consider full-value protection.
Malibu fees and rules to check
- Long carry or shuttle fees can apply when a truck cannot safely reach the door on steep driveways, private roads, or hillside steps.
- California Public Utilities Commission rules allow double drive time on local moves: billable warehouse-to-start travel plus double time from the old home to the new one.
- Pacific Coast Highway bottlenecks and limited commercial parking may cause delay charges or ticket costs, so confirm any HOA or street parking rules.
- Ask about accessorial charges for stairs, disassembly/reassembly, pianos, safes, or oversized mattresses, and get a binding or not-to-exceed written estimate.

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 Los Angeles County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 6% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
