Reverse: Palm Springs → Ukiah

Moving from Ukiah to Palm Springs is a long-distance move of roughly 617 road miles, heading southeast within California.

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 $4,590 to $6,830 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 11 h 20 min.

On the Ukiah side there are 15 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (3 of them authorized for interstate work), and 74 around Palm Springs (33 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 Palm Springs.

Ukiah has a population of about 17,000 and Palm Springs about 45,000. Ukiah is considerably denser (3,484 people per square mile versus 471), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Ukiah to Palm Springs?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,840 to $2,730 for a studio, $2,750 to $4,100 for a one-bedroom, $4,590 to $6,830 for a two-bedroom, $7,350 to $10,930 for a three-bedroom and $10,100 to $15,030 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Palm Springs from Ukiah?

About 617 road miles (523 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h 20 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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Ukiah and Palm Springs 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Ukiah to Palm Springs?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $930 to $1,320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,570 to $2,310. 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 Ukiah–Palm Springs corridor.
