What moving companies in Arizona, Nevada and California means on MoversAdvisor

This page lists moving companies in Arizona, Nevada and California that we track in our data. We cover 663 places across these three states and include 1,003 companies in total. Every entry shows a public Google rating and review count, not a paid placement or editorial pick.

How the rankings work

We rank moving companies in Arizona, Nevada and California using a Bayesian average of public Google Business Profile ratings, weighted by review volume.

A company needs at least 8 reviews and a 3.8-star minimum to appear. This keeps newer or barely-reviewed businesses off the list while surfacing companies with enough customer feedback to be meaningful.

How to use these listings

Start with the state hub if you are still deciding on a region. Go straight to a city page if you know your origin or destination. Filter by service type if you need a specific kind of move.

Always verify licensing yourself before booking. For California moves, check the CPUC carrier search. For Nevada, confirm the NTA certificate. For Arizona, which has no state moving license, check the company's USDOT number on FMCSA SAFER, its Arizona Corporation Commission registration, and complaint history with the Attorney General and Better Business Bureau.

Ratings change as new reviews come in. A company's position today may shift next month. We refresh the data regularly to keep the rankings current for moving companies in Arizona, Nevada and California.

Our data includes moving companies in Arizona, Nevada and California of various sizes, from single-city operators to national brands. The Bayesian method accounts for this by weighting both rating quality and review volume, so a company with hundreds of reviews and a solid rating will generally outrank one with a perfect score but only a handful of reviews.

If you are planning a move that crosses state lines among these three states, check whether the company handles interstate moves and has FMCSA authority. The state regulators listed above cover only moves that start and end within the same state.

How to use these moving companies in Arizona, Nevada and California

We cover 663 places across three states and our data includes 1,003 moving companies in Arizona, Nevada and California. Here is how to pick one and what to check before you book.

How our rankings work

We rank by public Google ratings using a Bayesian average that weights score by review volume. A company needs at least 8 reviews and a 3.8-star minimum to appear. That means a high rating with hundreds of reviews counts more than a perfect score from a handful.

When you search moving companies in Arizona, Nevada and California, the order reflects this formula, not payment or preference.

Check licensing state by state

All three states handle mover regulation differently. Do not assume a truck and a website mean proper authority.

California. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requires a permit for intrastate household goods moves. Look for a CAL-T number (older permits use MTR). The CPUC also requires public liability and cargo insurance on file. CPUC jurisdiction covers only moves that start and end in California; cross-border moves fall under FMCSA. Verify any company in the CPUC online carrier search by name or permit number before booking.

Nevada. The Nevada Transportation Authority (NTA) issues certificates of public convenience and necessity for intrastate household goods movers under NAC 706. Operating without one brings fines. Vehicles over 26,001 pounds also need a USDOT number from FMCSA. Ask for the NTA certificate number and check it against the NTA's list of certificated carriers.

Arizona. Arizona does not issue a state moving license. Movers must be registered with the Arizona Corporation Commission, commercial vehicles need a USDOT number, and A.R.S. 44-1611 to 44-1616 bar movers from refusing delivery or enforcing a lien and require accurate fee disclosure. The Arizona Department of Public Safety's Commercial Vehicle Enforcement unit investigates complaints. With no state license to look up, check the company's USDOT number on FMCSA SAFER company snapshot, its Arizona Corporation Commission registration, and its complaint history with the Attorney General and Better Business Bureau.

• Furniture movers for single-piece or partial moves
• Commercial movers or Office movers for business relocations
• White-glove movers for high-value or delicate goods
• Packing & unpacking services if you want crew-led boxing
• Cheap & budget movers when cost drives the decision

Our packing & heavy items guide explains how to prep specialty loads before the crew arrives.
