How to Inventory and Prepare for Your Del Mar Move
Before requesting a moving quote, walk through every room and storage area at your address. List all furniture, boxes, outdoor items, and anything stored off-site. Identify oversized or heavy items, anything requiring disassembly, and note any fragile pieces or pre-existing damage.
A full inventory allows for an accurate plan—helping you and the mover determine crew size, truck requirements, needed materials, and time expectations. If your move includes multiple stops or complex items, like safes or exercise equipment, share photos and measurements.
- Include items from closets, garages, patios, sheds, and storage units.
- Clarify if you require any items delivered to more than one address.
- Disclose items needing special care or preparation.

Understand Del Mar Access, Parking, and City Moving Rules
Del Mar enforces specific hours for noisy activities like moving setup and cleanup—permitted Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. No moving-related noise or loading is allowed on Sundays or holidays, except possibly when homeowners move items themselves. Always confirm the permitted hours with your property manager or HOA.
Parking trucks or vans for loading and unloading must be done with care, especially in residential areas. Never block driveways, fire hydrants, corners, or similar safety features. In some zones, like Stratford Court or Ocean Avenue, free parking is generally available but cleared during posted street sweeping times. If your move is near the Civic Center, note that public spaces outside the parking garage are unavailable on Saturdays.
- Confirm allowed moving hours for both addresses.
- Use official loading zones when available, especially near the beach.
- Check all posted parking signs and sweeping schedules.
- Submit any needed building documents or insurance requests early if required by your building.
