The far end of the county, priced like it is next door
Gilroy is the southern edge of Santa Clara County, roughly 30 miles down US 101 from San Jose, where Highway 152 heads east toward Pacheco Pass. People who search for movers here often worry about one thing first: will a San Jose company charge them to come all the way down? We do not. Spartan Moving does not bill for driving to your home or back to our yard. Your quote covers the crew's time on your move and the drive between your own two addresses.
That matters in Gilroy, because a move here is often a long local move: up the freeway to San Jose or Morgan Hill, or the other direction, from the Peninsula to a bigger house in South County.
What our records show
In 2026 we completed two moves that started in Gilroy and ended in San Jose, each with a three-mover crew, plus a job from nearby San Martin into San Jose.
Gilroy homes and what they ask of a crew
- Single-story ranch homes in the older neighborhoods near downtown and Monterey Road. Few stairs, short carries, and they move quickly.
- Newer two-story tract homes on the west and north sides of town. Expect a staircase, an attached garage full of boxes, and sometimes a garage refrigerator or gym equipment.
- Rural and semi-rural parcels toward the hills and the farmland around town. Long gravel or dirt driveways, gates and soft shoulders. Tell us about them, because a loaded 26-foot truck needs firm ground and room to turn.
- Garages, barns and sheds. Tools, patio sets and outdoor equipment add real time. List them when you request your quote so the estimate is accurate.
Crew and rate at a glance
| Home | Typical crew | Hourly rate |
|---|---|---|
| Very small move, few items | 2 movers | $145 |
| Apartment to most 3-bedroom homes | 3 movers (standard) | $175 |
| 3-bedroom over about 1,800 sq ft, 4+ bedrooms | 4 movers | $235 |
All rates carry a 3-hour minimum, then bill in 15-minute increments. Rates do not change on weekends. Blankets, tape, wardrobe boxes, floor protection and furniture disassembly and reassembly are included; boxes and other packing supplies are charged as used. When your pickup and drop-off are more than 10 minutes apart, which is true of almost every Gilroy to San Jose move, California rules apply double drive time between those two addresses.
Typical Gilroy moving costs by home size
Typical Gilroy move by home size
To help you budget, we pulled the hours from moves our crews completed between July and October 2026 and set them next to the crew rate for each size. Read the numbers as a typical spread. Your total is always the hours used times the crew rate.
| Home size | Crew | Typical hours | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 3 movers, $175/hr | 3.5 to 4 hours | $613 to $700 |
| 1 bedroom | 3 movers, $175/hr | 3 to 4.5 hours | $525 to $788 |
| 2 bedrooms | 3 movers, $175/hr | 4.5 to 7.75 hours | $788 to $1,356 |
| 3 bedrooms, under about 1,800 sq ft | 3 movers, $175/hr | 7 to 12.5 hours | $1,225 to $2,188 |
| 3 bedrooms over about 1,800 sq ft, or 4+ bedrooms | 4 movers, $235/hr | 7 to 12.5 hours | $1,645 to $2,938 |
Figures use the middle half of billed hours from local moves we completed for direct customers July through October 2026, drive time between homes included, account and full-pack jobs left out. Boxes and other supplies are extra, and no job bills under 3 hours.
These hours already include the drive between homes. A long run up US 101 is counted twice under California rules, so a Gilroy to San Jose move tends to sit toward the top of its row.
Before a Gilroy moving day
- Measure the gate and the driveway if you live on a rural lot, and tell us if the road is unpaved.
- Empty the garage refrigerator and drain gas from mowers and outdoor equipment the day before.
- If you are moving out of a rental or into an HOA community, ask about move hours. We supply a certificate of insurance at no fee.
- Decide what you will pack. If you want us to pack everything, our Golden package adds $70 per hour and covers full packing.

Questions and answers
How long does a Gilroy to San Jose move take?
It depends on the size of the home and the drive between addresses. The drive between the two cities is well over 10 minutes, roughly 35 to 45 minutes outside commute hours, so it is billed as double drive time under California rules.
Can your truck get up a long dirt driveway?
Often, yes, but we decide on the day based on the surface, slope and turning room. Tell us about the driveway in advance so we can plan the safest spot for the truck.
Do you move on Sundays?
Yes. We work Sundays, and the hourly rate is the same every day.
Do you take checks?
No. We accept cash, money order, Visa and Mastercard, with a 3% fee on card payments.
