Driving between stops around Santa Monica

I-10, Lincoln Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard carry most trips in and out of Santa Monica.

Moves heading east toward downtown Los Angeles use I-10.

Two addresses, two sets of access details

Many buildings have walk-up stairs or small elevators, and parking near the beach and downtown is limited — plan a legal truck spot ahead of time.

Loading and unloading in Santa Monica: common situations

Local house or apartment moves

A same-day move across Santa Monica where one rental truck makes one or two trips is the ideal fit for a single crew.

Moving in or out of storage

Loading at the unit and unloading at home the same afternoon avoids paying twice for two separate bookings.

Two-trip moves in a smaller truck

If you rented smaller than you needed, keeping the crew for the round trip is usually cheaper than rebooking.

Downsizing and shuffle moves

Some furniture goes to the new place, some to a relative or a donation drop. One crew can handle a route with stops if the company agrees to it up front.
