Below are the questions we hear most from people booking a move with Horizon Van Lines — about pricing, licensing, and how we handle CSUN move weekends. If you don’t see your question here, call (818) 340-2261 and Arjun or Marcus can walk you through it.
Are you a moving company?
Yes — Horizon Van Lines is a fully licensed and insured local moving company based in Northridge, CA. We run our own trucks and uniformed crews on every job, with a California PUC household-goods carrier permit (Cal-T) and US DOT/MC authority on file.
How does pricing work?
Local moves run $140 an hour for two movers and a truck, or $195 an hour for three, and every job gets a written flat rate from Arjun Nair before move day — not a number that changes once the truck is loaded. An $85 deposit comes off your final bill rather than adding to it, and long-distance moves are quoted by route miles instead of the clock.
Do you subcontract any part of the move?
No. The crew that quotes your job is our own employed crew, driving our own trucks, from pickup to delivery. We've never handed a move off to an outside company, and we're not a booking service that passes your job to whoever bids lowest.
Can you handle a CSUN move-in or move-out weekend on short notice?
That's a big part of why we exist. We hold same-week slots specifically for CSUN semester turns and don't charge a rush premium for booking close to the date — every mover on our trucks has worked a dorm hallway or a Reseda Blvd loading zone before.
What if I need to reschedule because of weather?
It happens more than people expect out here — a Santa Ana wind closure or a rare atmospheric-river storm backing up the 101 can make a move date impractical. Call us and we'll work out a new date with no fee to reschedule.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Every shipment carries up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage, and our California PUC and US DOT/MC paperwork is on file and available to any customer, building manager, or HOA that asks for it.
