Moving from Moreno Valley to Pasadena is a short-haul move of roughly 66 road miles, heading west 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 1 h 50 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,660 and $2,470, before packing or storage.

On the Moreno Valley side there are 861 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (478 of them authorized for interstate work), and 822 around Pasadena (337 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 Pasadena.

Moreno Valley has a population of about 214,263 and Pasadena about 135,804. Pasadena is the denser city (6,030 people per square mile versus 4,067 in Moreno Valley), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Tips for this move

Check California intrastate mover rules; many states require a state permit in addition to a USDOT number.
Group fragile items and tell the crew which boxes go in the cab or on top.
For a move under about 150 miles you can often choose between an hourly and a flat rate—ask for both.
Confirm whether travel time between Moreno Valley and Pasadena is billed one way or round trip.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Moreno Valley to Pasadena?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $920 to $1,370 for a studio, $1,060 to $1,570 for a one-bedroom, $1,660 to $2,470 for a two-bedroom, $2,510 to $3,730 for a three-bedroom and $3,680 to $5,480 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Pasadena from Moreno Valley?

About 66 road miles (56 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 50 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

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

No. Because both Moreno Valley and Pasadena 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 Moreno Valley to Pasadena?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $220 to $310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,590. 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 Moreno Valley–Pasadena corridor.
