Moving from Pasadena to Akron is a cross-country move of roughly 2,412 road miles, heading northeast from California to Ohio.

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 $8,030 to $11,950 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 42 hours (5 driving days).

On the Pasadena side there are 822 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (337 of them authorized for interstate work), and 349 around Akron (215 interstate). For an interstate 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 Akron.

Pasadena has a population of about 135,804 and Akron about 189,691. Pasadena is considerably denser (6,030 people per square mile versus 3,077), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Ohio than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Pasadena to Akron?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,210 to $4,780 for a studio, $4,820 to $7,170 for a one-bedroom, $8,030 to $11,950 for a two-bedroom, $12,850 to $19,120 for a three-bedroom and $17,670 to $26,290 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Akron from Pasadena?

About 2,412 road miles (2,044 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 42 hours (5 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from California into Ohio makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Pasadena to Akron?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,380 to $4,770 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,170 to $4,670. 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 Pasadena–Akron corridor.
