The route from Palo Alto, CA to Daly City, CA covers roughly 32 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the local move category for pricing purposes.
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 counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,450 and $2,160, before packing or storage.
On the Palo Alto side there are 233 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (62 of them authorized for interstate work), and 273 around Daly City (77 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 Daly City.
Palo Alto has a population of about 67,000 and Daly City about 101,261. Daly City is the denser city (13,803 people per square mile versus 2,851 in Palo Alto), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
