Who does your move in West Hollywood

Move & Care brings its own truck and a two-person crew to West Hollywood for $139 to $179 an hour, dispatched from our Irvine office. That makes us the carrier on your move, not a broker that sells it on.

Nearly half the homes in the city are one-bedroom units, and two of our movers usually finish one in 3 to 5 hours; a two-bedroom condo takes three movers 4 to 6. The form asks for your date, your bedroom count and both ZIP codes. For a house, we ask to see the rooms first, live on video or on a visit.

Included in each hour: the movers, the truck with its fuel and tolls, furniture pads, and taking apart a bed or desk too wide for a door. The bill has a 3-hour floor and grows in 15-minute steps after it; the $50 equipment charge appears on it once. Extras are your choice: a packing crew, cartons, Full Value Protection. Damage gets written up on a Damage Report with the crew before they leave, and the included basic coverage settles it by weight, 60 cents per pound per article.

West Hollywood requires a parking permit for any vehicle over 24 feet long or 3/4 ton on a residential street, and a moving truck falls under that rule; you apply for it with the city. A building that wants a COI from the mover gets one from us once it sends its wording. The elevator and the loading area are yours to reserve.

Who does what

The crew does

  • Two movers pad the bed, the dresser and the TV inside the unit, carry everything down the stairwell, and load the truck in the space the city signs hold for you.

You get ready

  • Get the city's moving truck permit at least 8 business days out, and empty the closets into boxes before we arrive.

Who does what

The crew does

  • Two movers block the elevator with pads, take the bed frame apart, and keep one person with the truck while the other brings loads down.

You get ready

  • Book the elevator for the morning with the manager, and ask which door and which part of the curb movers should use.
2-bedroom condo in a tower near SunsetA large building on or just off the Sunset Strip, with a loading dock 3 movers and a truck 4 to 6 hours $766 to $1,424
Who does what

The crew does

  • Three movers work in a loop: one wraps pieces in the unit, one rides the service elevator, one stacks the truck at the dock.

You get ready

  • Reserve the dock and the service elevator, and send us the building's certificate of insurance wording a week ahead.

How we get the numbers: the crew's hourly rate times the hours, plus the one-time $50 charge. The low end is a quiet weekday and the shorter time, the high end a busy date and the longer time. Stairs and elevators add time; there is no stair fee.

What every price includes

A local move is billed by the hours the crew works; a move to another state has one flat price. Both come with everything on this list.

Your West Hollywood move, counted back from moving day

From visitor permits two weeks out to the large item pickup after: the steps West Hollywood and its trash hauler set for a move, and who takes each one.

Steps before and after moving day
Step 1 of 6

Set up visitor permits for any extra car

  • You request them online
  • Two weeks before

On a permit-parking street, a friend's car or your second vehicle needs a visitor permit. Residents with a Residential Parking Permit account get them at no cost, for one to five days, and each one expires at noon the day after. A brand-new account can take up to two weeks to approve, so open it early.

City of West Hollywood, parking permit FAQ (opens a new tab)
Step 2 of 6

Apply for the moving truck permit

  • You apply to the city
  • 8 business days before

The city wants a permit for any vehicle over 24 feet or 3/4 ton parked on a residential street, and moving trucks fall under it. Apply for a Residential Move permit; deadlines count from when your payment clears, which takes 2 to 3 business days. A reservation usually covers one day, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The city may not be able to move the date and gives no refunds, so fix the date with us first.

Step 3 of 6

Sort out paint and fuel before the day

  • You take them in
  • The week before

Our crews cannot carry flammable liquids or cans of gasoline or propane, and California law keeps paint cans out of the trash unless they are empty or dry. Koontz Hardware and Anawalt Lumber take house paint through PaintCare. The UCLA S.A.F.E. Center lists Fridays, Saturdays and the first Sunday for paint and other household hazardous waste; call before you drive over.

Step 4 of 6

Match the date to your sweeping day

  • You check the schedule
  • The week before

A parking permit does not excuse a car from street sweeping. The city posts its routes by weekday, with separate early morning and alley schedules. Look up your block, then tell us the hours so the truck pulls up after the sweeper. Street cleaning is not enforced on holidays such as Thanksgiving, but permit parking still is.

City of West Hollywood, Parking Enforcement (opens a new tab)
Step 5 of 6

The No Parking signs go up

  • The city posts them
  • 72 hours before

Parking Enforcement posts the signs at least 72 hours before your reservation begins. A car left in the space during your hours is illegally parked: call Parking Enforcement at (323) 650-6757. Keep your approved permit handy on the day. If the signs vanish, the space is still yours, but cars parked there before cannot be ticketed or towed.

Step 6 of 6

Set out what you are not taking

  • You call Athens Services
  • Your next trash day

Athens Services, the city's hauler, takes a large item such as a mattress or a refrigerator at no cost on your regular trash day, once you book it; put it at the curb the night before. Past one or two items, Athens charges for a special pickup, or you can haul the rest to the transfer station in Santa Monica.

Moving in West Hollywood: what to know

Picking a date around Pride and holidays, older walk-up buildings, and moving without a car.

On this page
  1. Picking a date in West Hollywood
  2. Older walk-up buildings
  3. Moving without a car

Picking a date in West Hollywood

Our hourly range runs from a quiet date at the low end to a busy one at the top, and month-end and summer fill first. West Hollywood adds its own calendar. In 2026, Pride weekend ran June 5 to 7, and the city closed Santa Monica Boulevard from La Cienega to Doheny from Friday noon to Monday morning, with side streets shut on parade day. If you live near the boulevard, keep that weekend off your shortlist. Holidays bring a smaller change: trash pickup slides one day later for the rest of a holiday week.

Older walk-up buildings

Half of West Hollywood's homes are in buildings from 1965 or earlier, and four in ten went up between 1960 and 1979 (Census ACS 2020 to 2024). A building that old may have no elevator, a single stairwell and tight landings. A sofa that came in years ago may need its legs off to go back out, and a king bed frame almost always comes apart. We charge no stair fee; stairs only add time, so tell us the floor and whether there is an elevator when you book.

Moving without a car

About one renter household in seven here has no vehicle at all. If that is you, there is no trip ahead of time with the lamps and the plants, so everything rides in our truck. List the small things too when you book, because they take space and loading time that the estimate should count.

$139 to $179 per hour for a crew of two with our truck, set by the date.

In West Hollywood our two-person crew with a truck costs $139 to $179 an hour, depending on how busy the date is. A third mover lifts the rate to $179 and up, a fourth to $219 and up. Add one $50 equipment charge. A studio in a walk-up is often 3 to 4 hours with two movers, so the 3-hour minimum is close to the whole bill.

With us, a move with the truck bills 3 hours at least, plus the $50 equipment charge once.

Ask any crew for its minimum and its extras in writing. Ours: a move with our truck bills at least 3 hours, then 15-minute steps, plus the $50 equipment charge, and there is no stair fee. In West Hollywood, the city's truck permit is a separate cost you pay the city. Labor only, with no truck of ours, costs $109 to $139 per hour with 2 hours as the floor, subject to crew availability.

Dates outside month-end and summer usually price nearer $139.

Month-end and summer dates go fastest, and we price them toward $179; other dates are more likely to land near $139. In West Hollywood, also check the city's sweeping day for your block and stay clear of Pride weekend in early June if you live near Santa Monica Boulevard. Book the date with us before you apply for the city's truck permit, since the city does not refund it.

In a space you reserve with the city. A Residential Move permit holds curb space in front of your building, usually from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the city posts No Parking signs at least 72 hours ahead. A large building may have a loading dock or a garage entrance instead; ask the manager which one movers use. On Sunset Boulevard or Santa Monica Boulevard, a side street is usually the better spot for the truck.

A tip is your call and never appears on our bill. If you do tip, the day's work is a fair guide: three flights in a walk-up asks more of a crew than an elevator ride. Our Los Angeles tipping guide covers what crews in the area usually get.

Find out whether the company is the carrier or a broker, look up its USDOT and MC numbers on the FMCSA site, and ask who will show up and whose trucks they drive. Get the hourly rate, the minimum and any equipment charge in writing. For a West Hollywood move, also check that they know the city's permit rule for trucks over 24 feet or 3/4 ton, since without that permit the truck has no space held on your street.

Moving in your part of West Hollywood

The city's own plans name these parts of West Hollywood. Pick yours to see what it changes for the truck and the crew.

Choose a neighborhood

Norma Triangle

The homes
One- and two-story homes on small, narrow lots
Getting the truck in
A pocket of 173 parcels in the city's northwest corner, on narrow, tree-lined streets with apartments and shops around it. Curb space is short, so the city-reserved space by your door matters more here.
Before moving day
Send us a photo of the curb in front of the house, trees and driveway included.

West Hollywood West

The homes
Large new houses among older single-family homes
Getting the truck in
The city made this an overlay district in 2014 after many older homes were replaced by much bigger houses. A large rebuilt house usually calls for three or four movers and a longer day than an apartment.
Before moving day
Book a video walkthrough so we size the crew from what is in the rooms.

Eastside

The homes
Apartments and shops around Santa Monica Boulevard
Getting the truck in
About a quarter of the city's land, with Santa Monica Boulevard as its main street and stores on both sides. Loading on the boulevard is hard, so the truck goes on the side street nearest your door.
Before moving day
Reserve the side-street curb with the city, and avoid Pride weekend in early June.

Sunset Strip

The homes
Larger apartment and condo buildings off Sunset
Getting the truck in
The Strip is a busy run of venues, offices and shops. Its bigger buildings usually set their own move hours, elevator booking and loading spot, and many want the mover's certificate of insurance.
Before moving day
Reserve the dock and the elevator, and forward the building's COI wording to us.
