Moving from San Bernardino to Simi Valley is a short-haul move of roughly 99 road miles, heading west 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 24 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,860 and $2,760, before packing or storage.
On the San Bernardino side there are 993 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (554 of them authorized for interstate work), and 221 around Simi Valley (91 interstate).

No. Because both San Bernardino and Simi Valley 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 $250 to $350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,110 to $1,630. 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 San Bernardino–Simi Valley corridor.
