I’ll be moving out of state soon to live closer to my (for now!) long-distance partner. How much money do I need to set aside for this kind of thing? How much does moving from Florida to California cost?

How much moving from Florida to California costs will depend on the unique details of your move. Based on the distance of your move, $2,000 to nearly $20,000.
Hhere are just some of the factors that can have a significant impact on cross country moving costs:
  • Whether you’re hiring movers or
    renting a U-Haul
  • How many flights of stairs will movers have to climb
  • How many movers you’ll need
  • Whether you need additional services, like packing and unpacking
  • Packing material costs (tape, boxes, etc.)
  • Whether you have difficult-to-move items, like a piano or heavy furniture
  • Whether you’ll be moving any high-value items
  • If you’re driving yourself, gas, hotel, and/or camping expenses
  • Plane ticket and baggage costs if you’re flying yourself
  • Whether or not you plan to
    ship your car
Once you nail down the details of your move, request estimates from a few reputable movers to get a better idea of how much this move will cost you.
