Movers in Davis — where more than four homes in ten are apartments
Owner-led crews across Davis. One hourly rate with the truck in it, a written estimate before the work starts, English and Russian.
A price in about a minute, or a written answer the same day.
Davis is the one town in this metro where the flat that needs a lift is the normal case rather than the exception: 11,895 of its 27,484 homes are in a building with other homes, and 4,565 of those are in buildings of twenty units or more. Fifty-six per cent of households here rent. That shapes a move more than the size of the load does — a booked lift, a loading zone and a certificate of insurance decide whether a crew starts at nine or at eleven.

Four homes in ten share a building
ACS 2020-2024 counts 11,895 of 27,484 housing units in multi-unit buildings, 8,766 of them in buildings of five or more. Tell us the complex name when you book and we will deal with its office before the day — the certificate of insurance and the lift reservation are the usual reason a move starts an hour late.
Flat, and that is worth more than it sounds
USGS elevation sampled across the city boundary runs from 28 to 61 feet — thirty-three feet of relief across the whole town. Nothing is uphill from the truck here. On a long carry to a second-floor flat that is the difference between a tiring day and an expensive one.
Tule fog is a scheduling fact, not weather talk
Late autumn and winter bring ground fog that the record describes as near-zero visibility and a leading cause of winter road accidents in the valley. We will not run a loaded truck at speed through it, and a December morning start can mean a later arrival than the same job in June.
The campus is not inside the city
UC Davis is not incorporated within the city limits, which matters when an address is given as a campus building rather than a street. Give us the street address you will actually be standing at, and the gate or lot the truck is allowed to use.
How a move here is charged
Easy Move Sacramento charges one hourly rate with the truck inside it. You are billed for the loading, the unloading and double the drive between your two addresses, on a 4-hour minimum — $516 with two movers, at $129 an hour.
California bills that drive twice over — Maximum Rate Tariff 4, Item 36. It applies to every hourly local move, whatever the distance. It is the state tariff rather than our surcharge, and it is on the estimate before you book.
Rates: $129 an hour for two movers, $179 for three, $219 for four.
New here, not new to this
We are the Sacramento branch of Easy Move Florida, which has been moving families since 2021 and holds 4.7 on Thumbtack from 33 reviews and 5.0 on Google from 8. Thumbtack publishes a review only against a job booked through it; Google goes by its own genuine-experience policies. Both show every review rather than a chosen few. Those reviews belong to the Easy Move Florida office and to the same owner who will run your move here; Sacramento has just opened, and our own reviews will come from our first jobs in the metro.
Thumbtack →Questions people ask
Do you handle apartment complexes with a lift and a COI?
Yes, and that is most of the work in Davis. Give us the complex name when you book and we will arrange the certificate of insurance and the lift window with the office ourselves, before the day rather than on it.
How much does a move in Davis cost?
Four billable hours is the minimum, at the hourly rate for your crew size, with the truck inside that rate. Billable time is the loading, the unloading and double the drive between your two addresses. The pricing page carries the figures.
Is Davis too far from Sacramento for you?
No. It is about sixteen miles from the Capitol and an ordinary booking. Distance changes the drive time on the estimate and nothing else — the hourly rate in Davis is the rate in Sacramento.
Can you move a student flat in August?
Yes, and that fortnight is the busiest of the year here, so book early. Not because the price changes — it does not — but because a small operation has a finite number of Saturdays.
