Reverse: Daly City → Great Falls

Moving from Great Falls to Daly City is a long-distance move of roughly 1,042 road miles, heading southwest from Montana to California.

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 $5,320 to $7,910 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 18 h 40 min.

On the Great Falls side there are 28 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (21 of them authorized for interstate work), and 273 around Daly City (77 interstate). For an interstate 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 Daly City.

Great Falls has a population of about 60,000 and Daly City about 101,261. Daly City is the denser city (13,803 people per square mile versus 2,613 in Great Falls), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Montana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Great Falls to Daly City?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,130 to $3,160 for a studio, $3,190 to $4,750 for a one-bedroom, $5,320 to $7,910 for a two-bedroom, $8,510 to $12,660 for a three-bedroom and $11,700 to $17,410 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Daly City from Great Falls?

About 1,042 road miles (883 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 40 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Montana into California makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Great Falls to Daly City?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,520 to $2,150 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,950 to $2,870. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Great Falls–Daly City corridor.
