Reverse: Ukiah → Monterey

Moving from Monterey to Ukiah is a regional long-distance move of roughly 224 road miles, heading north within 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 $2,980 to $4,440 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 34 min.

On the Monterey side there are 12 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (4 of them authorized for interstate work), and 15 around Ukiah (3 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 Ukiah.

Monterey has a population of about 30,000 and Ukiah about 17,000. The two cities have comparable density (3,495 and 3,484 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Monterey to Ukiah?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,540 to $2,290 for a studio, $1,790 to $2,660 for a one-bedroom, $2,980 to $4,440 for a two-bedroom, $4,770 to $7,100 for a three-bedroom and $6,560 to $9,770 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Ukiah from Monterey?

About 224 road miles (190 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 34 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Monterey and Ukiah 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Monterey to Ukiah?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $380 to $540 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,220 to $1,790. 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 Monterey–Ukiah corridor.
