Average cost of long-distance movers in Hemet
The average cost for professional movers in Hemet is $150 per hour, but even the best interstate moving companies need more information about the distance and size of your move to give you a moving quote.
Factors that affect the cost of moving from Hemet
- Distance of your move: The farther you travel from Hemet, the more you'll pay. A short intrastate move costs far less than going cross-country.
- Amount of stuff you’re moving: The total weight and volume of your belongings directly impacts your cost. Taking time to downsize before leaving Hemet can lead to serious savings.
- Services you add on: Packing, unpacking, and extra help from labor pros can streamline your move— but they also raise the final bill.
- Type of mover you select: From full-service movers to DIY rental trucks, your choice of move style will determine how much effort and cash you're putting in.
- Timing of your move: Peak moving season (summer) and weekends typically cost more. Moving between October and April — or mid-month, mid-week — can help cut down costs.

FAQs
What else should I know about moving out of California?
A moving company helping you move out of California must be properly licensed and have a US Department of Transportation number. Of course, all of the Hemet movers we’ve included on this list have everything in order but you can check for yourself on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.
If you’re moving from one state to another, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move document from the FMCSA.
Is a local mover or a national mover better for leaving Hemet?
Sticking with a local mover in Hemet is generally easier on your wallet. With 24 movers available in the area, you’ll have no shortage of options — and we’ve highlighted the ones most worth considering.
But if your move is taking you out of California, national companies often have the resources and experience to handle big relocations more smoothly, even if they come at a premium.
When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Hemet?
Moving companies in Hemet tend to be less busy in November and December thanks to colder temperatures (around 37°F), the holidays, and the school year. That means you’ll have more room to negotiate with movers and potentially score better deals during these months.
What are the cheapest ways to move out of Hemet?
If you’re moving less than 50 miles within Hemet, handling the move yourself will almost always save you the most money. The most budget-friendly ways to move out of Hemet usually involve renting a moving truck from options like U-Haul, or choosing a moving container service such as PODS. Need more tips?
