Moving Services from Florida to Georgia

Florida to Georgia may not seem like a big distance, but you’ll still need a personalized moving plan. Pricing Van Lines lets you pick and choose the good stuff:

Packing and Unpacking

You could do your own packing. Of course, this means scrambling to find old Amazon boxes, running out of bubble wrap when you need it most, and mislabeling those important boxes so you end up with a pile of broken plates.

Or, y’know, you could book professional packing and unpacking with Pricing Van Lines. We know that packing is the hardest and most time-consuming part of a move. We also know how to pack your stuff up safely, securely, and with minimal fuss. (Spoiler: It doesn’t involve wrapping your PS5 in an old Iron Maiden t-shirt and hoping for the best.)

Custom Crating

Wouldn’t it be convenient if everything was nice and box-shaped? Unfortunately, real life isn’t Minecraft. But the team at Pricing Van Lines can hook you up with custom crating for all of those bulky, fragile, and not-very-box-shaped items.

Whether it’s a vintage motorcycle or a grand piano, we’ll show up with plenty of plywood, hardware, and the know-how to use it. If an item is too big to fit in a standard 18 1/8” x 18” x 16” moving box, we’ll build a box around it, and we’ll make sure it’s got plenty of padding to minimize bumps and bruises.

Storage Solutions

Storage is a great option if you need a little extra time to settle in. Don’t want to duck and weave through piles of boxes while you get your furniture in just the right place? Book storage with Pricing Van Lines, and we’ll keep those piles out of your way.

As an added bonus, Pricing Van Lines offers full-service storage. This means we’ll load up your stuff, drive it to your front door, and drop it off directly – no need for you to take a trip to a storage unit, and no need to rent a truck or throw your back out when it’s time to finish unpacking!

How Long Does it Take to Move from Florida to Georgia?

Moving from Florida to Georgia usually takes between 1 and 21 days. The states are right next to each other, so depending on how far you’re traveling (and how much stuff you’re hauling), it can be a 1-day job.

If you’ve gotta travel the whole length of Florida to get to your new place, expect a longer wait. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has rules in place that limit how many hours a driver can clock in one day. If your driver manages to log more than a certain amount of miles in one 11-hour shift, he or she may be investigated for safety violations.

Aside from rules and regulations, most moving companies practice bundling. If your move doesn’t fill up an entire trailer, professional movers will wait until they have other customers on the same route. This way, they can bundle multiple moves in the same truck to cut down on wasted space (and wasted gas). It keeps prices down – and they’ll keep everything safe and separate – but it does mean some delays for pickups and deliveries.

How Much Does it Cost to Move from Chicago to Denver?

It’ll cost between $400 and $18,230+ to move from Chicago to Denver. It really depends on how much you’re hauling, and how far you’re going. Take a look at this chart to get a ballpark figure.

Moving by yourself with a truck costs between $100 and $9,800+, depending on the size of your home and the distance.

Home Size	100 miles	100-1000 miles	1000-2000 miles	2000+ miles
Studio/1-Bed	$400 – $1,500	$1,500 – $3,500	$2,500 – $5,000	$4,000 – $7,000
2-Bedroom	$800 – $2,000	$2,000 – $4,500	$3,500 – $7,000	$5,500 – $9,500
3-Bedroom	$1,000 – $2,500	$2,500 – $6,000	$4,000 – $8,500	$6,500 – $11,000
4-Bedroom	$1,500 – $3,500	$3,500 – $8,000	$5,000 – $10,500	$8,000 – $14,000

How is Georgia Compared to Florida?

A couple of years ago, Florida was the go-to destination for folks who were tired of high rent, crappy weather, and crappier neighbors. According to a study published by the Florida Chamber of Commerce, most new Floridians were from New York and New Jersey.

But guess what? When more New Yorkers and New Jerseyites move into your state, the rent doesn’t stay low. And the neighbors don’t stay friendly. And soon enough, people start packing their bags and moving to Georgia.

Georgia’s still got the weather and the coastal access, but it’s less packed and less expensive. (Just don’t tell anyone, or they’ll move there, too.) It’s a lot more “deep South” than Florida, too, unless you were already living in the Panhandle – in which case, we can’t blame you for wanting to leave.

When you move to Georgia, be prepared for Southern Hospitality, a slower pace, and slightly less insanity compared to what you’re used to in Florida. And expect homes you can actually afford, too.

A quick look on Zillow shows that the median rent in Florida is just about $2,400 per month. Home prices? $390,000. In Georgia, the median rent is about $1,950 per month, and home prices float at around $326,000. That’s a lot of money left over for sweet tea and peach cobbler. And if you move with Pricing Van Lines, you’ll save even more…

Tips to Make Moving Easier

We’ll take care of the heavy lifting, but there’s a lot you can do to make your Florida to Georgia move even easier:

Downsize before you book

Long distance movers based on distance and dimensions. This means the less you have to move, the less you have to pay. Try to organize a garage sale, or just plain junk all the stuff you don’t want anymore.

Stage everything in one place

Doesn’t matter if you’ve DIY’d your packing or you’re paying for professional packing service. Put everything in one easy-to-access bedroom, garage, or corner. This makes loading up way faster and easier.

Invite some friends

You can invite them over for a goodbye party, or to help out with the packing. But the important thing is they also get rid of your nonperishable items. Movers won’t haul stuff that’ll damage the truck, so gift away the contents of your fridge.

Book smart

Try to get quotes from at least three different movers. This gives you a better idea of the industry average - and it may give you some leverage if you want to negotiate your price and snag some sweet deals.

Pack an essentials bag

Treat this like a mini-vacation. Pack a suitcase or backpack with your day-to-day essentials, like your toiletries, your must-have electronics/chargers, and a few changes of clothes. You’ll live out of this bag, instead of digging through boxes.

Protect fragile items

Use soft materials like towels, blankets, or bubble wrap to protect fragile items such as glassware, electronics, and artwork. Label these boxes as "fragile" so movers know to handle them with extra care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What factors affect your final price?

The distance and the dimensions are the biggest factors behind your moving costs. Aside from those big players, there are a few more add-ons that can make your move more expensive:

Access fees: If your home or apartment building has a bunch of obstacles (like gates, long driveways, multiple flights of stairs, or elevators), your movers will charge you extra.
Extras and add-ons: Some services cost extra. Packing, specialty item handling, storage, car transportation… unless your mover says it’s free in writing, it comes at an additional price. Fortunately, some of these services are worth the extra couple hundred bucks.
Insurance: Moving companies provide basic insurance coverage for free, but you’ll only be reimbursed like $0.60 per pound of damaged items. Break a 4-pound laptop? Enjoy your $2.40. Want more than that? Pay for full-value insurance coverage.

What is a binding quote?

When you hear “binding quote”, think “flat rate”. If you receive a binding quote from a moving company, the price they include on the estimate is the price that you’ll pay. It’s concrete. Don’t try to pull a fast one and throw in a surprise piano after you get a quote, though, or your movers will just renegotiate (or outright cancel) the contract.

What’s the difference between long distance moving and local moving?

Local movers take care of relocations that are under 100 miles and within the same state. If you’re moving across state lines (like moving from Florida to Georgia) or moving over 100 miles, you’ll be dealing with long distance movers.

Local moving is a per-mover, per-hour game (and it takes about 2 movers per bedroom). On the other hand, long distance moving is charger per mile, and per pound.

Do I need moving insurance?

Do you think your PS5 is worth more than like… $6.00? Look, moving companies offer free moving insurance, but it’s only good for $0.60 per pound. If you have anything worth more than its weight in loose change, it’s a good idea to pay extra for full-value moving insurance. Accidents are rare, but peace of mind is always helpful.

How many boxes do I need when I move?

You’ll need between 30 and 100 boxes to move, depending on the size of your place. A studio apartment may be closer to the 30 side of things, and a 4-bedroom home is going to be closer to 100. But the real important question is what kind of boxes will you need?

Small boxes (16” x 12” x 12”) are best for your books, kitchen utensils, and a few plates or bowls. Don’t make the rookie mistake and put your heaviest stuff in your biggest boxes: Those 18” x 18” x 24” deals are for floofie-yet-light items like comforters and pillows. Take stock of your items, and order a mix of small, medium, and large boxes that matches your needs. Or, just pay your long distance movers to do the packing for you!

Is moving yourself worth it?

No. And we’re not saying that because we’re pro movers. A DIY move is cheaper on paper, but you’ve gotta stay on top of your expenses before, during, and after the big day. Did you have to rent a truck? Did you have to pay for gas? Did you have to pay for food and lodging? Did you have to take time off from work to pack or unpack? If you’re going to spend money on your move, you may as well pay a little extra for a full service, VIP experience.
