Pasadena, CA → Daly City, CA · Regional long-distance move
About 405 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,800–$5,650, delivery in 1–3 days, 822 carriers on the Pasadena side and 273 in Daly City.
The route from Pasadena, CA to Daly City, CA covers roughly 405 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $3,800 to $5,650 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 41 min.
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 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.
Pasadena has a population of about 135,804 and Daly City about 101,261. Daly City is the denser city (13,803 people per square mile versus 6,030 in Pasadena), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 405 road miles (344 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 41 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.
No. Because both Pasadena and Daly City 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $570 to $800 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,380 to $2,030. 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.
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–Daly City corridor.
