Are you planning to move? Moving homes or offices in Florida can be a big decision with a lot of moving parts (pun intended). That's where Wirefly comes in. We make it easy for you to find and compare the best moving companies in Florida, including home movers, office movers, long distance movers, international movers, and auto transport companies to make your move as simple and pain free as possible.
When a person in Florida is planning to move to another area within the same state, it’s considered an intrastate move, also known as a local move. Just because it’s called a local move doesn’t mean it needs to be a short trip. In fact, an intrastate move could be much longer than an out-of-state move. The deciding factor is whether the moving route goes out of state.
One thing that’s important for people to keep in mind is that the entire route must be within the state. The moment the moving company travels out of state, the move is then governed under the long-distance moving jurisdiction. This is true whether the moving company made a wrong turn and went out of state or if they took a route that led out of state to save time. More information about long-distance moves is available on the Wirefly long-distance moving page.
The preparation for an intrastate move and a long-distance move are fairly similar. Consumers need to be figure out the logistics the same way and do the same amount of research. When a consumer plans the move in advance and compares their moving company options, they can get the best value and make sure they choose a reputable service.
Factors to consider when choosing a moving company include the size of truck needed, whether the consumer or the movers will pack everything, if a storage facility in the new city is necessary, and if the movers have proper insurance and licensing. With Wirefly, the latter is never a concern, because only moving companies with licenses and insurance are listed. The consumer should map out a budget to track all their potential moving costs and get quotes from a variety of moving companies in Florida that they can compare. Wirefly can help the consumer evaluate moving companies and see which is the best option.
Unfortunately, even crossing one state line qualifies your move as a long-distance move. This even includes moving within your state but crossing the state line for a shorter route option. It’s important that you communicate with your movers that you refuse to pass over your state line since they can use this as a tactic to charge you higher service charges.
Fortunately, Florida long distance movers are legally responsible for obtaining a license from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This administration helps regulate trucking and residential moving companies by developing and enforcing regulations for long distance movers to follow.
Although Wirefly only works with responsible professional movers who are properly licensed and insured, we always instruct our customers to do plenty of research before they undergo the hiring process. No matter what type of documentation they provide, it’s important to look up their records that contain complaint and accident reports through the USDOT site.
When you hire a long distance mover, rather than a local mover, you should expect it to cost more. Knowing this, you should consider all your options and compare a variety of quotes before hiring a moving company.
Even if a moving company offers a great quote, they may not have the best reviews, which makes it important to get a number of referrals from every company you contact. Plus, some companies in Florida may generally not be the best fit your needs. For example: If you need help packing your belongings, certain moving companies will charge you more for their services. Since this is common practice, you should always ask for a binding moving estimate. This way, there will be no extra cost to you when moving.
The global movement of belongings across international borders presents some tough challenges when you are relocating to a new country. However, the difficulties should not discourage you if you approach Wirefly moving company. We have a reputation for being reliable when it comes to the logistical handling of every aspect of your move from Florida to anywhere overseas across several international borders.

Getting an international moving quote through Wirefly is easy.
Office moving in Florida is different than residential moving. Large equipment such as computer systems, copy machines, phone systems, and servers as well as many small items require a moving company with expertise in handling office moves. We can recommend office movers who are licensed, insured, and knowledgeable with such tasks as taking apart cubicles, moving technology safely, and bringing durable crates to ensure that small items can be moved safely.
It can be difficult with a business to find a time in which business activities can be suspended long enough for a move to take place. Moving offices can be disruptive to the business process, and in some cases it may not be practical to suspend all activities. A moving company may not be able to avoid working around employees and clients. Your business may not have the luxury of being able to unload and unpack its items in a concerted way over a period of days, when moving companies may load and unload all your items in 24 hours or less.
With Wirefly, you can find the right Florida office movers who will properly move your office while respecting your time. Our service works only with moving companies that have proven themselves when working with corporate office moves. Each of these companies is properly insured and licensed, and we’re careful to review the reputations of these companies on a monthly basis. We won’t work with a company unless we’re fully confident of its ability to deliver down to the smallest detail.
Since moving furniture and other items is not the only things that need to be moved when relocating, vehicle transportation becomes a big responsibility. Car shipping companies can become a great benefit to many Americans who need help transporting their vehicle. While many people choose to drive their vehicles, it isn't always possible, especially if moving a long distance, driving the moving truck, or moving to a place like Hawaii.
Wirefly has a list of reliable companies that ship cars and vehicles, and they offer transport rates for the automobiles in question. If movers are unable to move their vehicle, Wirefly will help find the best car moving company in Florida to fit the needs of the mover, and they offer quick quotes.
Just like the other companies that Wirefly works with in Florida, the auto transport companies are all insured, licensed, and prepared for the specific challenges that are associated with transporting cars from place to place. The companies that Wirefly works with not only get the customer's items safely to the new spot, but they give the customer peace of mind to have a successful move or relocation. Moving vehicles can be an added stress to the moving process, but Wirefly will help take care of all the customer's moving and shipping needs.
