Rows marked "All our local moves" use every local Rocket move, because we haven't done 10 moves of that size in West Hollywood yet.

Price ranges are what customers paid on our local moves over the last 2 years, before tips: the middle half of jobs, so some moves cost less and some more. Your quote is built from the hours and crew your move needs, and the quote is the price you pay.

Double Drive Time (DDT) is California's rule for hourly moves: the drive from your pickup to your drop-off, doubled, at your hourly rate. With a 0.3-mile typical drive between stops, DDT on a move within West Hollywood stays small.

49% of our West Hollywood moves were booked within a week of moving day.

Parking, permits and access

Moving logistics in West Hollywood

Truck parking and permits

What to get: encroachment parking permit; the City posts No Parking signs to hold the space.

Issued by: Public Works, Parking Services (Permit Parking).

Timing: apply at least 8 business days ahead (recommended); signs must be up at least 72 hours before a residential move.

West Hollywood permit details

Buildings and street access

  • Moving trucks parked overnight on a residential street need a separate Resident Overnight permit. Source: official West Hollywood rule
  • 81% of homes are in buildings with 5 or more units, 41% in buildings with 20 or more. Expect elevator reservations, set move-in hours and COI requests; we send COIs the same day.
  • 17% of homes were built before 1940, so most buildings have standard-width doors and stairwells. Walk-ups still change the crew size, so tell us the floor at both ends.

West Hollywood has its own rules for moving trucks. The city requires a permit for vehicles over 24 feet long or over ¾ ton parked on residential streets, and you can reserve curb space with Temporary No Parking signs. The city asks for the application at least five business days before the move, and reservations are usually for one day, 8am to 5pm. Apply early, and tell us your reserved hours so we plan the day inside them.

Santa Monica Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard are busy most of the day, and the side streets fill up with permit parking. We'll pick a start time that keeps the truck out of the worst of it.
