Moving in Westwood: what we handle for you

Westwood means two distinct moving worlds. The first is the UCLA apartment belt — Gayley, Levering, Midvale — with student and faculty moves that spike every June and September. We at Best Movers LA keep extra crews on the calendar for the academic turnover and run efficient small moves that respect the 3-hour minimum: a typical 1-bedroom near campus runs $330–$440 all-in with 2 movers at $88/hr.

The second is the Wilshire Corridor: some of LA's strictest condo towers, with mandatory COIs, padded-elevator reservations, weekday-only move windows and doormen who check paperwork. We at Best Movers LA have most corridor buildings' requirements on file and submit everything 48–72 hours ahead, so your move starts on schedule.

Faculty and medical-professional relocations to and from UCLA make up a steady share of our Westwood work — book and instrument collections, lab-adjacent equipment, and timelines tied to academic calendars are all familiar territory.

Local notes: June and September book out 4+ weeks ahead — reserve early. Wilshire Corridor towers: COIs 48–72h ahead, weekday windows only. Student moves often finish within the 3-hour minimum.

Access, parking and permits in Westwood

Because Westwood is part of the City of Los Angeles, the truck’s curb space runs through LADOT — Special Traffic Control Division, (213) 485-2298 — not a building manager or HOA, and the signs must be up before move day to be enforceable. We confirm the current fee and lead time when you book.

Westwood is about 15 road miles 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 Westwood at $88/hr for two movers, that adds:

From Westwood to	Actual drive	Billed (doubled)	Added at $88/hr
West LA & Sawtelle	2 mi · about 10 min	20 min	$29
Century City	2 mi · about 10 min	20 min	$29
Pacific Palisades	6 mi · about 12 min	24 min	$35
Manhattan Beach	16 mi · about 32 min	64 min	$94

No fuel surcharge, mileage or call-out fee is added on top.
