Cost to move from Florida
A 2–3 bedroom move out of Florida ranges from about $460 (a rental truck to Georgia, 480 miles) to $22,610 (full-service movers to Washington, 2,960 miles).
Moving cost: $810–$10,840
Moving about 1,130 miles from Florida to Texas costs roughly $810 – $10,840, depending on how much of the work you hire out.
Distance between the states' population centers by road (estimate).
| Moving method | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Rental truck (DIY) Truck rental, taxes and fees. Add fuel, damage coverage, lodging and your time. | $810 – $3,400 |
| Moving container You pack and load; the company drives the container. | $1,640 – $4,090 |
| Full-service movers Packing, loading, transport and unloading. | $2,650 – $10,840 |
These ranges are based on summer (peak-season) quotes. A move between October and April usually costs less: peak prices run 20–30% higher.
A rental truck also burns about 113 gallons of fuel over this distance. One-way truck rental prices depend on direction: a truck headed where many people are moving often costs more than the same trip in reverse.
Ranges combine 198 published quote ranges on 22 interstate routes (moveBuddha, retrieved 2026-09-24) with 47 independent published prices from U-Pack, HireAHelper and Move.org, which raised the top of several ranges. They are not quotes; get at least three written estimates.
Alaska and Hawaii ranges come from published carrier rates and moving quotes, dated in each row (Matson's household-goods rates, U-Pack, Royal Hawaiian Movers). See how we estimate.
