Moving from Huntington Beach to Inglewood is a local move of roughly 31 road miles, heading northwest within California.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 58 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,450 and $2,160, before packing or storage.
On the Huntington Beach side there are 1,020 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (430 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,198 around Inglewood (507 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 Inglewood.
Huntington Beach has a population of about 191,451 and Inglewood about 101,662. Inglewood is the denser city (11,842 people per square mile versus 7,360 in Huntington Beach), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

No. Because both Huntington Beach and Inglewood 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 $180 to $260 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,050 to $1,540. 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 Huntington Beach–Inglewood corridor.
