Los Angeles/West HollywoodA city in Los Angeles County
Movers in West Hollywood, CA
West Hollywood is its own city, about two square miles between Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Most of the moves we do here are apartments, and they're usually short: the most common trip is to or from Hollywood, followed by Downtown LA and Beverly Hills.
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.
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.

Electric: SCE. Water: Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (most of the city) and Beverly Hills Water (some areas on the west side). Gas: SoCalGas. Trash: Athens Services. Start service a few days before move day so the lights and water are on when the truck arrives.
Usually, with a plan. Moving trucks parked overnight on a residential street need a separate Resident Overnight permit. Give us both addresses and we'll pick the truck size and where it parks.
