Daly City, CA → Ventura, CA · Regional long-distance move
About 350 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,550–$5,280, delivery in 1–3 days, 273 carriers on the Daly City side and 71 in Ventura.
Ventura sits about 350 miles southeast of Daly City, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $3,550 to $5,280 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 44 min.
On the Daly City side there are 273 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (77 of them authorized for interstate work), and 71 around Ventura (15 interstate). For an in-state move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Ventura.
Daly City has a population of about 101,261 and Ventura about 109,914. Daly City is considerably denser (13,803 people per square mile versus 5,058), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 350 road miles (297 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 44 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
No. Because both Daly City and Ventura are in California, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $510 to $720 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,330 to $1,960. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Daly City–Ventura corridor.
