Reliable Local Movers in San Diego , CA & the Area

At Gorilla Movers, a local move means any relocation under 50 miles within the greater San Diego area. We proudly serve neighborhoods across the city and nearby communities with a full range of moving services. Unlike long distance moving services that cross state lines, we focus on local expertise. Our background checked movers handle everything from studio apartments to large family homes, and we do it all with great service and transparent pricing.

Over the years, we’ve helped thousands of San Diegans get ready for their next move. If you want a smooth moving experience, start early. Gather your packing materials, sort your belongings, and donate what you don’t need. Break down your packing over a few days to make it manageable. If you’re working with us, we handle the heavy items and loading so you can focus on your new city. And yes, we always provide a free quote upfront—no surprises.

We are happy to serve you Monday-Sunday. The office hours are 9 AM to 6 PM and 9 AM to 1 PM on Saturday and most holidays.

We know how stressful it can be to find the right moving company. That’s why we built Gorilla Movers on real reviews and repeat customers. We recommend looking at BBB ratings, checking credentials, and reading what real people have to say. Make sure the company offers a full range of services, not just transport. With Gorilla Movers, you’re choosing a company with a great track record, outstanding customer service, and local moving process experience that sets us apart. We have repeatedly been rated as one of the best moving companies across San Diego. We have received an A-rating from the Better Business Bureau, and the San Diego Chamber of Commerce has recognized us for our “Excellence in Customer Service.”

We pack like we’re moving our own home. Our team uses thick blankets, durable boxes, shrink wrap, and padded materials to keep everything protected. We take extra care with furniture and fragile items, especially during long-distance moving services within the greater San Diego area. The moving process always includes a detailed plan for packing, loading, and delivery. You won’t find us cutting corners—just great service with care built into every step.

You can—but you shouldn’t. We’ve seen what happens when people try to move heavy items on their own: scratched floors, injured backs, and broken furniture. At Gorilla Movers, we use professional tools and trained movers to handle your heaviest belongings safely. Our team is trained in proper lifting and loading techniques. Leave it to us, and you’ll feel the difference in your moving experience.

We believe in transparent pricing. The cost depends on the size of your move, how many movers you need, and whether you’re adding packing services. On average, hiring professional movers in San Diego ranges from $120 to $180 per hour for two movers and a truck. We always offer a free quote based on your unique move.

Our rates reflect the value we bring. Depending on the scope of the job, our hourly rates vary, but we always include basic insurance and a clean, professional crew. We offer a full range of services, from packing to transport to unloading. Whether you’re planning a quick apartment move or relocating a large household, we’ll guide you through the moving process with no hidden fees. Just honest, reliable, great service.

From our experience, most clients want to tip when they’ve had a great experience, and we appreciate it. Tipping is never required, but it’s a kind gesture that recognizes hard work. Our teams show up on time, protect your belongings, and treat your home with care. If you feel your move went smoothly and your crew went above and beyond, tipping is a thoughtful way to say thank you.

Typically, customers tip 10–20% of the total cost, or about $5 to $10 per mover per hour. You can also include the tip in your final payment if you prefer. Our team works hard to earn that appreciation. We’re proud of our customer satisfaction and the positive feedback we receive. It motivates us to keep delivering excellent moving experiences, one box at a time.
