Houston, TX → Beverly Hills, CA · Cross-country move
About 1,627 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,760–$10,060, delivery in 5–10 days, 3,257 carriers on the Houston side and 593 in Beverly Hills.
The route from Houston, TX to Beverly Hills, CA covers roughly 1,627 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.
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 $6,760 to $10,060 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 28 hours (4 driving days).
On the Houston side there are 3,257 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,374 of them authorized for interstate work), and 593 around Beverly Hills (216 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 Beverly Hills.
Houston has a population of about 2.4 million and Beverly Hills about 32,000. Beverly Hills is the denser city (5,729 people per square mile versus 3,599 in Houston), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that California does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,627 road miles (1,379 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 28 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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.
Yes. Crossing from Texas 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,270 to $3,210 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,470 to $3,640. 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 Houston–Beverly Hills corridor.
