San Fernando is about 25 road miles north-west 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 San Fernando at $88/hr for two movers, that adds:
| From San Fernando to | Actual drive | Billed (doubled) | Added at $88/hr |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pacoima | 2 mi · about 10 min | 20 min | $29 |
| Sylmar | 2 mi · about 10 min | 20 min | $29 |
