Fullerton, CA → San Mateo, CA · Regional long-distance move
About 417 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,850–$5,730, delivery in 1–3 days, 846 carriers on the Fullerton side and 332 in San Mateo.
San Mateo sits about 417 miles northwest of Fullerton, 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 $3,850 to $5,730 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 7 h 53 min.
On the Fullerton side there are 846 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (361 of them authorized for interstate work), and 332 around San Mateo (93 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 San Mateo.
Fullerton has a population of about 138,675 and San Mateo about 103,337. San Mateo is the denser city (8,732 people per square mile versus 6,411 in Fullerton), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 417 road miles (353 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 53 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 Fullerton and San Mateo 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 $580 to $820 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,390 to $2,050. 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 Fullerton–San Mateo corridor.
