Affordable Los Angeles to Las Vegas Movers
Here’s What Folks are Saying about Pricing Van Lines
Moving from LA to Vegas? Keep it Cheap with Pricing Van Lines
Everyone on the West Coast considers living in LA for a little. Then they realize it’s expensive, the traffic is even worse than they expected, and the city’s full of bums and jerks.
If you’re going to be spending a ton of money to live in a desert hellscape, you may as well have some fun while you’re at it. That’s why so many people are leaving LA, and that’s why so many people are moving to Las Vegas. The price is a big reason, so you should make sure your LA to Vegas movers don’t drain the last of your savings.
We think everyone should be able to move when and where they want. That’s why the team at Pricing Van Lines offers competitive rates, and a whole list of customizable services so you don’t pay for a bunch of unnecessary (and expensive) extras.

We know every move is different. That’s why we let you pick and choose the services you need, so you don’t get charged for a bunch of other stuff.
Packing and Unpacking
“Packing services? I don’t need that. They’re just trying to upsell me. I’m gonna be fine with these old Amazon boxes.” If that sounds like you or someone you know, don’t say we didn’t warn ya. Packing is the hardest, most time-consuming part of a move.
It’s not just about showing up with all the right boxes and padding supplies for the job. It’s not just about making sure your stuff is safe and secure. It’s not just about using high-quality and eco-friendly packaging, either. When we pack and unpack, it’s about maximizing your convenience, and making sure you don’t have to lift a finger on the big day.
Specialty Item Moving
We don’t judge. If you have a fancy piano, we’ll pack it and haul it. If you have a pool table, we’ll pack it and haul it. If you have a collection of anime figurines and My Little Pony merchandise, well… we’re still gonna pack it and haul it.
When you book speciality items moving with Pricing Van Lines, we make sure it’s extra safe. We can even organize custom crating if it won’t fit in a standard 18 1/8” x 18” x 16” box, and hoist it through a window if it won’t fit through a standard 32” door.
Moving Labor
If you want to DIY, don’t let us stop you. But don’t try to lift a refrigerator by yourself, either. Pricing Van Lines offers affordable moving labor – and believe us, it’s cheaper than a trip to the ER.
Book moving labor with Pricing Van Lines, and we’ll send a vetted and verified team to your place to help out with the heavy lifting. They’ll show up with furniture dollies, hand trucks, and everything else they need to get those appliances and heavy items into your truck, and when it’s all loaded up, they’ll get out of your hair.
How Long Does it Take to Move from Los Angeles to Las Vegas?
It takes between 1 and 21 days to move from LA to Vegas. The two cities aren’t super far apart, but the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has some rules about how many hours a driver can clock per day (they can’t work more than 11 hours per shift). If your driver travels too many miles in that 11-hour window, he or she may be investigated for safety violations.
It shouldn’t take more than 11 hours to get from LA to Las Vegas. In fact, a quick Google search shows it’s just a little over 4 hours of drive time. So why does moving take multiple days? Answer: Bundling.
Bundling is a common practice in the moving industry. Professional movers wait until they have multiple customers on the same route, and then they take care of them all in one tidy sweep. They’ll keep everything separate and secure in the trailer, but this tactic does lead to delays for pickups and deliveries along the way.
Want your stuff delivered ASAP? You’ll have to pay for direct delivery. Just prepare your wallet, since it ain’t cheap. Unless your movers had a cancellation, you can expect to pay between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars, depending on how empty the truck will be.
How Much Does it Cost to Move from Los Angeles to Las Vegas?
Moving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas will cost you between $500 to $20,000. It seems like a big window, but your final price depends on how far you’re going, and the size of your home or apartment.
Moving by yourself with a truck costs between $200 and $4,000+, depending on the size of your home and the distance.
| Home Size | 100 miles | 100-1000 miles | 1000-2000 miles | 2000+ miles |
| Studio/1-Bed | $500 – $1,200 | $1,000 – $2,500 | $1,500 – $3,500 | $2,000 – $4,500 |
| 2-Bedroom | $800 – $1,800 | $1,500 – $3,500 | $2,500 – $5,500 | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| 3-Bedroom | $1,200 – $3,000 | $2,500 – $5,500 | $4,000 – $8,000 | $6,000 – $10,500 |
| 4-Bedroom | $2,000 – $5,500 | $4,000 – $8,500 | $6,000 – $12,000 | $8,500 – $15,000 |
| 5-Bedroom | $3,000 – $7,500 | $5,500 – $12,000 | $8,500 – $16,000 | $12,000 – $20,000 |
How is Las Vegas Compared to Los Angeles?
How different is Vegas from LA? It’s like a 4-hour drive, and if you’re from LA you’ve probably been there already, so you know all about the Strip, the gambling, and the entertainment. But you may not be up to speed on what it’s like to actually live there.
First thing’s first: The price. According to Zillow, the average rent in Las Vegas is about $2,000 per month. Meanwhile, LA rent is about $2,800 per month. It’s not a huge difference, because let’s be honest, rent is high everywhere.
No, where Vegas really shines is home prices, especially when you compare it to Los Angeles. We’re talking $430,000 for a home in Las Vegas. Compare that to the $878,000 average home price in LA (even though we all know it’s closer to a million if you want to live somewhere nice).
Real estate aside, Vegas is a surprisingly livable city. It’s not just fun and games: It’s also home to recently-built housing developments, great outdoor activities, and a refreshing lack of income tax. If you’re one of the millions of Californians who are leaving the state because it’s too expensive, Vegas is a welcome break. And if you want to save even more money, Pricing Van Lines can help you move to Las Vegas without breaking the bank…
Tips to Make Moving Easier
Downsize
Before you ask for quotes, get rid of all your unwanted stuff. If you’re not using it now, you won’t use it in Vegas. Plus, that added weight means a higher moving cost. Organize a garage sale, hand it down, or just throw it out.
Collect multiple quotes
Once you have your inventory list, it’s time to shop for movers. Try to collect at least three quotes. This gives you an idea of how much it’ll cost on average to move from LA to Las Vegas. It’ll also give you some negotiating leverage.
Pack an essentials bag
Grab a backpack or suitcase, and pack it up like you’re going on vacation. Toss in your toiletries, your portable electronics, and your chargers. Include a few changes of clothes, too. You’ll live out of this bag while you unpack everything else.
Make an inventory list
When you search for movers, they’ll probably ask you for an inventory list so they can give you a more accurate quote. Make a list of all your big items - include anything that takes two people to move, and any fragile belongings.
Know the no-go list
Movers can move almost everything. Almost. Ask about restricted items (typically anything flammable - including hairspray and nail polish - anything perishable, and anything alive). Then, figure out how you’ll move those no-go items.
Label all boxes
Clearly mark each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unloading and unpacking easier and helps movers know where to place each box in your new home. Let me know if you'd like to tweak it!
Frequently Asked Questions
What factors affect your final price?
Long distance moving companies calculate the cost of your move based on the miles they have to travel and the weight of all your belongings. But there are still a couple extra factors that can spike your price to move:
- Extra services: If you need packing, furniture disassembly, custom crating, or any other specialty service on top of the basic loading and hauling, expect to pay a little extra. It may be a couple hundred to a couple thousand, but it’s worth the convenience.
- Time of year: June through August is usually the priciest season to move. But it’s also getting more expensive in May and September, too. Any time the kids are out of school and there’s a major holiday, expect increased demand and increased prices.
- Access fees: If your movers need to deal with long hallways or driveways, gates, elevators, or multiple flights of stairs, you may be charged an access fee. Communicate ahead of time so there aren’t any unpleasant surprises for you – or for them.
How can I save money on my move?
The best way to save money on a move is to downsize as much as you can before you shop for quotes. Get rid of your old, unwanted, or unused stuff. We don’t care how. If you don’t want it, don’t take it with you – and definitely don’t pay to have it moved to spoil your fresh start.
Aside from downsizing, try to schedule smart. Book your move far from major holidays, and avoid a summer move if at all possible. June through August is the priciest season, and moving costs spike at the beginning and end of each month, too (that’s when all the leases expire). Mid-month, mid-week, and far from major vacation dates. That’s your best bet.
What is a binding quote?
When a moving company offers a binding quote, that means you’re going to be locked in to whatever amount is on your estimate. This is actually a good thing, because if a quote is nonbinding, a mover can charge you up to 10% extra after the job’s done. Binding quotes are set in stone, but keep remember: If you add any major items after you receive your estimate, your movers may cancel the contract.
Do I need moving insurance?
All moving companies offer basic insurance coverage. It’s the law. But basic coverage is also only good for $0.60 per pound of damaged or missing items. Most of your belongings are worth more than their weight in loose change, so try to pay for full value insurance coverage instead. This way, in the unlikely event of broken items, you’ll be reimbursed the actual value.
How can I tell if a moving company is legit?
When you’re shopping for movers, always look for their MC number issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). You should also look for their DOT number issued by the Department of Transportation. Don’t be afraid to ask for these certifications, and don’t be afraid to look a mover up on the FMCSA’s website.
Why does moving cost so much?
Moving costs a lot because it takes a lot of planning and logistics to organize and execute your move. First, you’ve got moving agents who need to coordinate the services and the pre-move scheduling. Next, you’ve got dispatch, who’s in charge of sending the right truck to your place when you need it. And of course, you’ve got movers and their truck, and they need wages and gas to keep running.
Fortunately, Pricing Van Lines keeps prices low. We let our customers pick and choose the exact services they need, so they don’t get locked into a pricey one-size-fits-all moving plan. And we coordinate with moving teams that are already in your area to keep those fuel surcharges low. It’s everything you need, nothing you don’t, and all at an affordable price.
