Quiet South Bay streets, easy 110 access — Lomita moves handled fast and priced fairly.
Moving in Lomita: what we handle for you
Lomita is a small city tucked between Torrance, Harbor City and Rolling Hills Estates, with residential streets wide enough for our trucks and a neighborhood feel that makes move day go smoothly. The 110 freeway is minutes away, which keeps drive time low to and from the rest of LA County.
Most Lomita moves are single-family homes and apartment complexes in the eastern section near Western Avenue. Driveways are common, parking is rarely a problem, and crews can load close to the door — the kind of access that turns a 4-hour estimate into 3.5 hours actual.
We at Best Movers LA service all South Bay moves from the same crews that cover Torrance, Harbor City and Gardena, so there's no long shuttle from the west side — local crews, local knowledge, same flat rate.

Access, parking and permits in Lomita
LADOT has no authority over the curb in Lomita: truck reservations are issued by the City of Lomita itself, with its own fee and lead time, and we check both against your move date.
Lomita is about 23 road miles south of Downtown LA — a distance you don’t pay for. Under California’s double drive time rule only the drive between your two addresses is billed, counted twice; on our most common runs from Lomita at $88/hr for two movers, that adds:
| From Lomita to | Actual drive | Billed (doubled) | Added at $88/hr |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carson | 4 mi · about 10 min | 20 min | $29 |
| Torrance | 4 mi · about 10 min | 20 min | $29 |
| Palos Verdes Estates | 6 mi · about 12 min | 24 min | $35 |
| Westchester | 16 mi · about 32 min | 64 min | $94 |
No fuel surcharge, mileage or call-out fee is added on top.
