Move Cost

Are you preparing for a commercial or residential move in Florida? In almost all cases, when people start thinking about a relocation, one of their first concerns is how much it will cost. Having a clear understanding of moving costs is important for budgeting and preparation (while also providing peace of mind). So, let’s take a closer look at the costs associated with moving.

Typical Costs Associated with A Move

Factors that determine the cost of a move include the size of your move, the type of services you get from the mover, the length of the move in miles and the moving supplies you buy.

  • Storage costs, if needed
  • Travel fees, which include fuel costs and the manpower time spent moving belongings from Point A to Point B
  • Specialty services, such as moving fragile art pieces or classic cars
  • Liability insurance you purchase above the basic carrier coverage provided by the mover

The typical move costs around $1,500. That price can go much higher if you have a lot of items or are moving a long distance. It could come out much smaller if you have just a one-bedroom apartment and are moving across town. We also offer cost-efficient moves for businesses as part of our office relocation services in Florida.

Issues With Price

Unfortunately, the moving business attracts plenty of scam artists, especially areas such as South Florida where so many people move every year. In some cases, a mover may give you one price and then quote another once all your belongings are on the truck.

This “holding your items hostage” strategy happens more often than you might think. That’s why it’s important to hire a professional moving company that is well-known, has a good reputation and is transparent about price.
