Inglewood, CA → Riverside, CA · Short-haul move
About 64 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,650–$2,450, delivery in 1–2 days, 1,198 carriers on the Inglewood side and 1,224 in Riverside.
Riverside sits about 64 miles east of Inglewood, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
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 1 h 48 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,650 and $2,450, before packing or storage.
On the Inglewood side there are 1,198 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (507 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,224 around Riverside (674 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 Riverside.
Inglewood has a population of about 101,662 and Riverside about 323,057. Inglewood is considerably denser (11,842 people per square mile versus 3,879), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Inglewood and Riverside 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 $220 to $300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,580. 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 Inglewood–Riverside corridor.
