The short answer

The easiest time to move in San Diego is a weekday in the middle of the month between October and April. Summer is peak season because of school breaks and military PCS orders, and the last and first few days of every month book up fast. Inland areas like El Cajon and Santee are cooler for morning moves.

Best and busiest months

June through August is peak season. Families move between school years, leases turn over and PCS season brings a wave of military moves. October through April has the most availability.

Best days of the month

Leases end on the 30th and 31st and start on the 1st, so those dates book up first. The 10th through the 20th is usually wide open.

Best time of day

Morning starts beat both traffic and heat. In East County, summer afternoons can be in the 90s and up, which is hard on the crew and on heat-sensitive items.
