Santa Monica sits about 151 miles southeast of Santa Maria, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $2,650 to $3,950 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 18 min.
On the Santa Maria side there are 42 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (23 of them authorized for interstate work), and 603 around Santa Monica (222 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 Monica.
Santa Maria has a population of about 111,390 and Santa Monica about 92,000. Santa Monica is the denser city (11,069 people per square mile versus 4,812 in Santa Maria), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
