Moving from Pomona to Palm Springs is a short-haul move of roughly 85 road miles, heading east 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 10 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,770 and $2,640, before packing or storage.

On the Pomona side there are 628 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (314 of them authorized for interstate work), and 74 around Palm Springs (33 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 Palm Springs.

Pomona has a population of about 147,807 and Palm Springs about 45,000. Pomona is considerably denser (6,596 people per square mile versus 471), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Tips for this move

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 Pomona and Palm Springs is billed one way or round trip.
A single-day move is realistic here; schedule loading in the morning so the crew arrives in Palm Springs with daylight to spare.
Check California intrastate mover rules; many states require a state permit in addition to a USDOT number.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Pomona to Palm Springs?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,010 to $1,500 for a studio, $1,140 to $1,700 for a one-bedroom, $1,770 to $2,640 for a two-bedroom, $2,650 to $3,950 for a three-bedroom and $3,850 to $5,740 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Palm Springs from Pomona?

About 85 road miles (72 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 10 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 Pomona and Palm Springs 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 Pomona to Palm Springs?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $240 to $330 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,100 to $1,610. 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 Pomona–Palm Springs corridor.
