How much does moving from Virginia to Florida cost?

My office is transferring me down to our Tampa branch, so I am Florida-bound! I’ve heard some horror stories about getting ripped off by movers, so I’m going to keep a close eye on the cost. What does moving from Virginia to Florida cost?

You’ll love the sunny weather, but just be prepared for some really hot and humid summers! Moving from
Virginia
to
Florida
costs anywhere from $914 all the way up to $7,250.
Renting a
U-Haul
and packing up a smaller space, like a studio apartment, is by far the cheapest way to handle moving from Virginia to Florida. If you go that route, you could end up paying only between $866 and $1,200 for the entire move—not accounting for the added
cost of gas
. A
moving company
, on the other hand, will cost you between $1,425 and even as much as $5,800.
When it comes to moving, the more stuff you have, the more it will cost you. On the flipside, the more you’re able to do yourself, the less expensive your move will be. Take a four bedroom home, for example. A moving company can charge you between $5,000 and $10,000 to move a four bedroom home, but renting a truck and doing it yourself can bring the cost down to $1,150 to $1,667.

renter
or a
