Reverse: Ukiah → Richmond

The route from Richmond, CA to Ukiah, CA covers roughly 111 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the short-haul 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 2 h 37 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,470 and $3,680, before packing or storage.

On the Richmond side there are 252 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (86 of them authorized for interstate work), and 15 around Ukiah (3 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 Ukiah.

Richmond has a population of about 114,861 and Ukiah about 17,000. The two cities have comparable density (3,869 and 3,484 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Richmond to Ukiah?

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, $2,470 to $3,680 for a two-bedroom, $3,960 to $5,890 for a three-bedroom and $5,440 to $8,100 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Ukiah from Richmond?

About 111 road miles (94 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 37 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 Richmond and Ukiah 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 Richmond to Ukiah?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $260 to $370 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 Richmond–Ukiah corridor.
