What local movers charge in Rancho Cordova
Local jobs in the Sacramento area are billed hourly, with the rate set by crew size.
| Service | Hourly rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers with a truck | $100 to $130 per hour | 3-hour minimum; suits studios and smaller apartments |
| 3 to 4 movers with trucks | $150 to $220+ per hour | Better for larger homes |
| Labor only, 2 helpers | $80 to $115 per hour | You supply the truck or container |
Full job totals scale with the home: $400 - $650 for a studio or 1-bedroom, $800 - $1,300 for a 2-bedroom and $1,600 - $3,200+ for a 3 to 4-bedroom house.
What to watch for
- Travel billing: when the depot sits 30 minutes or more away, expect about an extra hour of travel time on the invoice.
- Access fees: stairs, long hallways, safes, large appliances and extra stops at a storage unit all cost more unless they appear in the written estimate.
- Damage coverage: basic liability pays $0.60 per pound per item - a dropped $1,000 television weighing 40 pounds returns $24 - so ask about Full Value Protection for anything valuable.
- Summer heat: Central Valley afternoons run 95 to 100 degrees, so an 8:00 AM start keeps the crew moving fast and your belongings out of a baking truck.
- Parking and traffic: reserve space for a 26-foot truck close to your door and plan the route around Highway 50 commute hours, since idle time on an hourly job is your money.

See licensed movers51% of departures went farther than 50 miles. Beyond that range moves are priced by weight and distance, and a state line means the carrier needs interstate authority.

Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $66,652 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in California report $73,511. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Sacramento County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
