Your apartment moving cost depends on factors, such as the type and size of your property, the complexity of your move, the number of bedrooms, the volume of your items, zip code, etc. At SOS Moving, we offer flat and hourly rates. The hourly rate depends on the number of movers to be involved and the size of the moving truck. Flat rate is based on the volume of belongings you need to move, and it’s the best option for long-distance moves. To know your moving cost, please contact us or submit a form on our website to request your free quote.
You should schedule your move date as early as you can. If you’re moving locally, at least 1-2 weeks in advance, for long-distance moves, we recommend getting a quote at least 2-4 weeks before your move date.
You can choose any convenient day for your relocation, and yes, we can help you move on weekends and holidays.
A safe relocation is our goal, so we’ll provide you with a detailed list of items that are prohibited to transport. It includes perishables, hazardous materials, firearms, batteries, etc. We also don’t recommend packing your personal and irreplaceable items, including family heirlooms, family photos, jewelry, documents, etc. Carry them with you during the move.

Yes, we’ll contact you prior to delivery. We’ll deliver your belongings within the given moving arrival window. In case the window is no longer possible, we’ll also contact you in advance and set another delivery time.
Pomona is a house town first. About two-thirds of its homes are single-family, and more of the city's housing went up in the 1950s than in any other decade, while the region as a whole built the most in the 1970s. For movers in Pomona that means driveways, porches and original floors far more often than elevator lobbies, so runners go down and door frames get padded before the first dresser leaves a bedroom.
Pomona households run large. Those of seven or more people are more than twice as common here as across the wider Southern California region, and people living alone are rarer. Before you ask for a quote, count every bedroom, the garage and any backyard shed; in a full house, that list is what tips the choice between two movers and three.
The city has three residential historic districts: Lincoln Park, Wilton Heights and Hacienda Park. Lincoln Park, listed on the National Register, is mostly single-family houses built between the late 1800s and the 1940s, in Victorian, Craftsman, Tudor and Spanish styles. Homes of that age bring front steps, narrow original doorways and old wood floors. The crew wraps banisters, keeps runners on the hardwood and takes apart bed frames and tables that won't turn through a century-old hallway.
Phillips Ranch, in the southwestern part of the city, is a master-planned community with its own specific plan, and many residents write "Phillips Ranch, CA 91766" on their mail instead of Pomona. It is the same city and the same ZIP code, so give us the street address, not just the neighborhood name. If your tract or condo complex has an association, ask it about move-day rules; when it wants a certificate of insurance, SOS provides one for $50.
| Area or home type in Pomona | What to plan for on move day |
|---|---|
| Lincoln Park historic district | Porch steps, narrow doorways and old wood floors: runners, padded jambs, furniture taken apart to fit |
| Single-family streets from the 1950s | Driveway loading, with the truck on the curb that is not posted for sweeping that day |
| Phillips Ranch | Addresses often read "Phillips Ranch, CA 91766"; association rules and any COI ($50) settled before the date |
| Downtown, inside Monterey, Palomares, Mission and Park | Swept twice a week, so the truck works around the posted hours |
| Apartment complexes | Manager's rules in writing; the city's bulky item pickup is open to multi-family residents with trash service |
Every street in Pomona is swept twice a month, and the no-parking days and hours are posted on signs along each street. Each side of a street has its own sweeping day, so when one curb is posted, the opposite curb is open. Check the sign in front of your home before the move: if your side is posted for that day, the truck loads from across the street and the crew carries a little farther.
Downtown runs on a tighter schedule. The business area bounded by Monterey Street, Palomares Street, Mission Boulevard and Park Avenue is swept twice a week, so a loft or apartment move there gets a parking plan built around the posted hours before the date is locked.
Nearly half of the city's occupied homes are rented. In a complex, ask the manager where the truck may stand, which hours moves are allowed, and whether a gate, a loading area or an elevator has to be reserved; get the answers in writing and keep them handy on move day.
Heavy-truck routes, downtown's public lots and the paperwork for event halls are business-move topics, covered on our page about office and commercial moves in Pomona.
Crews leave from our only base, 5530 Jillson Street in Los Angeles, and take the SR-60 to the I-605, then the I-10 east: about 27.4 miles, around 38 minutes without traffic. Morning commuters mostly pour west toward Los Angeles, so our trucks head east against the heavier flow early in the day, while the eastbound I-10 turns slow in the late afternoon. With a working day of 8AM to 6PM, that afternoon slowdown matters most when the loaded truck is the one heading east: if you are moving from LA into Pomona, an early start keeps it ahead of the rush.
Hiring local movers in Pomona from SOS means a 3-hour minimum, because the city sits inside the 30-mile line; the 4-hour minimum is only for addresses 30 miles or more from the base. Double drive time applies to moves over 10 miles, as the rates page puts it, and overtime starts after 8 hours. Pomona dates are open Monday through Sunday, and a same-day move can happen when a crew is free.
Sort before you pack. Pomona's bulky item pickup, booked through the city's hauler, Athens Services, takes up to four large items per appointment, and a sofa with its loveseat or a washer with its dryer counts as one; each household gets six free requests a year. Book it ahead of move day, and the boxes, the truck and the hours on the clock go only to things bound for the new address. For the rest, packing crews from our moving and packing services in Pomona can take the kitchen, the glassware and the closets off your list.
For a move out of state, Pomona long distance movers start close to the open road: the I-10 heads east from the city straight across the Inland Empire toward Arizona. SOS runs interstate jobs under USDOT 3398018 and MC 1153871; details are on our long-distance moving page.
Pomona wraps around the south and west sides of Claremont, so a move between the two is short surface-street work; our Claremont moving page covers that city. Chino Hills starts right below Pomona's southern edge, and the SR-71 runs into it past Phillips Ranch; see movers for Chino Hills. Ontario lies farther east along the I-10, beyond the county line and Montclair, in San Bernardino County; see our Ontario page.
