Reverse: Malibu → Murrieta

Moving from Murrieta to Malibu is a short-haul move of roughly 113 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 2 h 39 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,480 and $3,690, before packing or storage.

On the Murrieta side there are 142 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (70 of them authorized for interstate work), and 7 around Malibu (2 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 Malibu.

Murrieta has a population of about 114,124 and Malibu about 10,000. Murrieta is considerably denser (3,302 people per square mile versus 537), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Murrieta to Malibu?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,540 to $2,290 for a studio, $1,540 to $2,290 for a one-bedroom, $2,480 to $3,690 for a two-bedroom, $3,970 to $5,910 for a three-bedroom and $5,460 to $8,130 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Malibu from Murrieta?

About 113 road miles (95 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 39 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 Murrieta and Malibu 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 Murrieta to Malibu?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $270 to $380 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,120 to $1,650. 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 Murrieta–Malibu corridor.
