Route guide
Moving from Los Angeles to San Francisco
Moving from Los Angeles to San Francisco is often about work in the Bay Area's tech, finance and biotech industries, or a cooler, foggier climate than Southern California's. The drive is about 380 miles on I-5, over the Grapevine and up the San Joaquin Valley, then west over the Altamont Pass into the Bay Area. It stays within California, so it's an in-state long-distance move.

Planning tips
Tips for your Los Angeles to San Francisco move
A few things worth planning early on this route.
- 01
Check Tejon Pass before you go
I-5 climbs over Tejon Pass, known as the Grapevine, north of Los Angeles. Snow and ice occasionally close it in winter, so keep your dates flexible when a storm is forecast.
- 02
Plan for steep streets
San Francisco's hills and narrow streets can limit where a truck can park and how close it gets to your door. Tell us about grades, tight corners and parking at your new address.
- 03
Count the stairs
Many older San Francisco buildings, like Victorians and Edwardians, have narrow staircases and no elevator. Tell us the floor and number of flights at both ends so we can plan the right crew and time.
