Ranked by real Google ratings and review volume · How we chose

We compared 15 movers in Bakersfield on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A quote only means something if the crew behaves the same way on moving day, and that is what the Google reviews for movers in Bakersfield mostly describe. Meathead Movers has 833 reviews at 4.8, Hansen's Moving & Storage has 677 at 4.9, and Fit Movers LLC matches that 4.9 on 327. Where they differ is in what else they bring: warehouse storage, interstate reach, or a flat price for a small local job.

Short answer: Meathead Movers ranks first with a 4.8 rating across 833 Google reviews, with Hansen's Moving & Storage, Inc. (4.9, 677 reviews) and Mentors Moving & Storage (4.8, 433 reviews) close behind. Fit Movers LLC also holds a 4.9. Moving prices turn on crew size, hours, distance and stairs, so ask for a written estimate that spells out what's included.

Our take: A 4.9 across 677 reviews puts it among the better-supported names here. The warehouse and the Atlas affiliation, which is the company's own claim, make it a good match when storage is part of the plan.

Behind the numbers

The figures come straight from Google on the verified date. Rating is the live star average. Review volume is the number of customers who rated the company, ranked against other Bakersfield movers. Confidence weighs rating by volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of customers outweighs a perfect score from a few. Recency shows whether people are still posting. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What moves the price of a Bakersfield move (2026)

We aren’t printing a price table because the data we pulled doesn’t give a sourced local rate. Crew size, the hours on the clock, the distance, stairs, packing, specialty items like pianos and any storage all change the total. A small furniture move and a whole-house or interstate job are priced very differently, so the written estimate for your inventory is the only number worth comparing.

Movers near you in Bakersfield and beyond

These companies list yards and offices on Perseus Court, Sillect Avenue, Gilmore Avenue, Rosedale Highway and Buck Owens Boulevard in Bakersfield. Reviews mention moves to Santa Cruz, Orange County and Tehachapi, and a move in from Lancaster. If you’re searching for movers near me, ask each company whether your pickup and drop-off addresses are inside its normal range.

What to settle before moving day

  • Is the quote binding, hourly, or an estimate, and what could change it?
  • How many movers and trucks are coming, and what is the minimum number of hours?
  • Is packing material, wrapping and furniture reassembly included?
  • What is your coverage if something is damaged, and how do I file a claim?
  • When is payment due, and what forms do you accept?

Frequently asked questions

Which Bakersfield movers offer storage?

Hansen’s describes a 110,000 square foot warehouse on its site, and Mentors and Express list storage among their services. Meathead’s quote form includes a storage option too.

How much do movers in Bakersfield cost?

It depends on crew size, hours, distance and extras. Reviewers describe small furniture jobs and whole-house moves at very different totals, so request a written estimate based on your inventory.

Choosing a crew

Meathead Movers is the safe default on volume, Hansen’s is the one to look at if storage matters, and Fit Movers suits smaller local jobs. Whichever you pick, get the estimate and the payment terms in writing.
