How much does moving from Texas to Florida cost?

I’m in central Texas, and I figure if I’m going to live in a hot place I might as well be near the beach. I’m thinking of moving to Florida; can you tell me what moving from Texas to Florida costs?

Moving from
Texas
to
Florida
can cost anywhere between $1,107 to $8,050. That’s a wide range, we know, but the exact cost of moving changes drastically depending on how much you’re bringing with you and whether or not you hire movers.
When it comes to moves, the more stuff you’ve got, the more you’ll end up paying. For example, even with movers, it can cost as little as $1,500 to move from studio apartment to studio apartment, but moving an entire home’s worth of stuff can cost upwards of $11,000.
But, on the flipside, the more you’re able to do yourself, the more you stand to save. If you ask a couple of friends (especially the ones that asked you for help when they moved!) to help you pack and load up a
U-Haul
, you’ll only pay between $1,000 and $2,000—even for an entire home’s worth of stuff. But, bear in mind that you’ll still need to pay for fuel, food, and lodging on your
road trip
.
Once you’re settled down—hopefully near the beach—you should consider your
renters
or
homeowners
insurance policy. If you don’t know where to begin, downloading
