Reverse: Lakewood → Simi Valley

The route from Simi Valley, CA to Lakewood, CO covers roughly 991 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $5,360 to $7,970 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 17 h 47 min.

On the Simi Valley side there are 221 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (91 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,122 around Lakewood (405 interstate). For an interstate 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 Lakewood.

Simi Valley has a population of about 124,861 and Lakewood about 156,927. The two cities have comparable density (3,045 and 3,586 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Colorado than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Simi Valley to Lakewood?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,140 to $3,190 for a studio, $3,220 to $4,780 for a one-bedroom, $5,360 to $7,970 for a two-bedroom, $8,580 to $12,760 for a three-bedroom and $11,790 to $17,540 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lakewood from Simi Valley?

About 991 road miles (839 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 47 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from California into Colorado makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Simi Valley to Lakewood?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,470 to $2,070 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,900 to $2,800. 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 Simi Valley–Lakewood corridor.
