Long Beach sits about 116 miles southeast of Santa Barbara, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
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 42 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,500 and $3,710, before packing or storage.
On the Santa Barbara side there are 27 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (9 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,558 around Long Beach (664 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 Long Beach.
Santa Barbara has a population of about 88,000 and Long Beach about 450,469. Long Beach is the denser city (9,206 people per square mile versus 4,549 in Santa Barbara), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
