Malibu Movers
Local, long-distance, apartment and office moving along the Malibu coast and the western edge of Los Angeles County, with crews running out of our Los Angeles hub. Licensed and insured under household mover permit MTR#0191956, with USDOT#3256910 federally. A family business since 2007, and no mover works before clearing a California DOJ and FBI check.
Quick Takeaways
- One road carries everything: PCH is the only through route for most addresses. A closure isn’t a detour, it’s a wait.
- Coast work and canyon work: Anything inside the 100-mile line, timed or fixed beforehand. Long distance, condos, offices.
- Steps stand where a driveway would: Seaward-side houses put exterior stairs between the pad and the front door, and that one flight is what sets the hours.
- Wrapped indoors, carried out: Blankets and shrink wrap go on inside the house, runners on floors, rubber over treads.
- Permits printed, not implied: MTR#0191956 and USDOT#3256910 are public records. Checking takes a minute.
Two Malibu Addresses Can Sit Half an Hour Apart
Malibu is strung out. Las Flores and Carbon Beach east; Zuma and Trancas west, Point Dume between.
The Census Bureau counts 536.8 people per square mile across 19.85 square miles of land, and one road serves nearly all of it, so a crew books the route before it books the crew size. Gate codes come first.
Moving Solutions for Any Home or Business in Malibu
Three kinds of address here. The coast, the canyons, the Civic Center.
Beach Houses and Canyon Homes
Seaward-side lots run one house wide with a single-car pad, and the front door usually sits down an exterior flight from it rather than level. Canyon addresses trade that for gate codes.
Offices and Practices Near the Civic Center
Files, fixtures and equipment get tagged to the room they are going back into, and whatever the practice needs first goes onto the truck last.
Long Sectionals, Stone Tops and Uprights
Flag the oversized pieces. A sectional or a stone-topped table coming up a flight from a seaward pad changes the crew size before anything else.
The Highway Sets the Clock on a Local Move
Inside 100 miles counts as local. Delivered that day. The household chooses between the clock and a figure locked beforehand, and sitting still on PCH is the argument for locking it — which on a whole house is what Trek quotes anyway. Inland moves climb Topanga, Malibu Canyon or Kanan Dume.
What Leaves Malibu Goes on One Truck
Past 100 miles it’s flat rate: one written number covering labor, fuel, mileage, supplies, travel time and the truck, which carries one household only. No warehouse stop. Who lives here shapes those loads: 31.8% of Malibu residents are 65 or over, and a house held for decades comes out heavier than its floor plan suggests.
Our Malibu Moving Services
The exterior flight between the pad and the front door is what decides how long each of the four below actually takes.
Furniture Protection
Blankets and shrink wrap go on inside the house, not at the truck. Runners, rubber treads, padded doorframes.
Expert Furniture Assembly
A bed frame that will not turn on an exterior flight goes down in pieces, wardrobes and dining tables along with it, and all of it is standing again the same day.
Express & After-Hours Moving
Little notice means more hands. The house gets boxed ahead of the date, so the steps are the only work left to do.
Seaward-Side Houses Are Measured in Steps
On the ocean side of PCH, houses stand shoulder to shoulder. Lots one house wide. The pad takes a single car, backing a full-size truck into highway traffic takes a spotter, and everything past that point goes in by hand.
Nothing Gets Quoted From a Map
The pad and the stairs set this price. Not the square footage.
| Number of movers | Cost per Hour (Cash Rate) | Cost per Hour (Credit Rate) |
| 2 Movers & Truck (Studio, 1 Bedroom) | $120+ | $140+ |
| 3 Movers & Truck (2–3 Bedrooms) | $160+ | $180+ |
| 4 Movers & Truck (House, Office) | $200+ | $220+ |
*Regional pricing can vary with scheduling constraints and service availability. Every booking gets a written estimate first.
A free video walkthrough is where the written estimate comes from, arriving before anything is packed, and the season shifts the figure as much as anything about the house does.
Why Trek Movers Is Malibu's Best Moving Company
Before a gate code goes out to anybody at all, three things are worth confirming, and not one of them requires leaving the house to do it.
What the Price Already Covers
Six lines at zero: labor tax, packing, bulky item, gas, truck, service. The walkthrough costs nothing too.
State and Federal Records, Both Current
The CPUC carries MTR#0191956, the FMCSA carries USDOT#3256910. General liability, cargo cover and workers’ comp behind them.
Nearly Two Decades, Family-Owned
A family business since 2007. Fifty-plus staff employed outright, no brokering, and Forbes has rated Trek California’s best for three years.
Malibu Moving FAQs
Can a big moving truck reach a house on the ocean side of the highway?
It reaches the shoulder or the pad. From there it’s steps and a hand carry, counted on the walkthrough so it sits inside the written number rather than arriving later.
Do you move households up the canyon roads to Calabasas or Agoura Hills?
Yes — over Malibu Canyon or Kanan Dume. Both are two-lane climbs, so the estimate reflects real transit.
Can oversized furniture come up an exterior beach-house staircase?
Yes, and worth flagging on camera. A long sectional coming up that flight changes the crew size.
How can you estimate a Malibu house nobody has seen?
A free video walkthrough. A short call covers the stairs, the pad, the gate and the top turn.

I had a great experience using Trek Movers! Their website makes it easy to book a reservation online. They also had great customer service! I reached out to fix a mistake on my moving estimate, and the woman I spoke with on the phone was very kind and helpful! Before my moving day I got an email outlining an itinerary of what to expect day of. I really appreciated the guidance! On the day of, my movers did a walk through of my apartment and gave me a time estimate. They ended up extremely close to their estimate at the end! The movers were fast and efficient and honestly made this stressful day so much better! Thank you!! -

I've always been the type of person to rent my own U-Haul and bribe my friends to help me move, but after my experience with Trek Movers, I'll never go back to trying to move by myself again. — Rates & Service – I had requested quotes from several different companies and Trek Movers had really awesome rates, but it was the service that completely won me over. When I requested a quote, I was immediately taken to an online portal that provided me an estimate based off my room size and then the website also allowed me to add my inventory to give them an even better estimate. -

Tim and his crew came highly recommended by a coworker and I can see why. They were professional, they worked very quickly, they work super hard, and they had a great attitude. I would absolutely hire these guys again. -

These guys are amazing… our stuff would have taken us weeks to move and they managed to move it all in 2 days, and in a heat wave no less! Thanks guys, that took a lot of the stress off of us! -

We highly recommend Trek Movers to anyone looking for a locally owned and professionally run moving company. We hired Trek for our house move from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The kindness and responsiveness I experienced with them in every interaction on the phone, in emails and in person was a relief during a very stressful situation. Our team of movers were incredibly hard working and patient with filling the truck with several objects that weren't square and organically shaped as well as some heavy workshop machinery from our garage that don't make packing a truck easy.
