The route from Santa Cruz, CA to Santa Clara, CA covers roughly 32 miles by road, a north-bound trip that falls into the local 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 1 h counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,450 and $2,160, before packing or storage.
On the Santa Cruz side there are 27 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (6 of them authorized for interstate work), and 292 around Santa Clara (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 Santa Clara.
Santa Cruz has a population of about 62,000 and Santa Clara about 133,446. Santa Clara is the denser city (6,975 people per square mile versus 4,942 in Santa Cruz), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
