Moving from Georgia to Florida is one of the shorter long-distance moves in the Southeast. From Atlanta the drive is roughly 345 miles to Jacksonville, 440 to Orlando, 460 to Tampa and about 660 to Miami, and most shipments follow I-75 South through central Georgia and into Florida.
We run the same corridor in the other direction as Florida to Georgia. This guide covers cost, timing and the Atlanta and Florida details that affect a Georgia-to-Florida move.
Cost of Moving from Georgia to Florida
The cost of a Georgia-to-Florida move depends on four primary factors: the distance between your exact origin and destination, the size of your home, the services you add (packing, storage, specialty items), and the time of year you move. Below are Safeway’s typical prices for interstate moves by home size, from our own 2026 quote data.
Typical prices for interstate moves, by home size
| Home size | Typical price (national) | Usual range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $4,175 | $3,650 – $4,950 |
| 2 bedrooms | $4,981 | $4,415 – $5,797 |
| 3 bedrooms | $7,520 | $6,605 – $8,930 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $12,500 | $10,395 – $15,735 |
Source: based on interstate moves we priced from January to mid-July 2026. These are national figures for all interstate routes, not a price for this route alone. A typical price means half of the moves we priced came in lower and half came in higher.
A shorter move can price below these figures or above them, depending on access, stairs and your date. Your binding quote comes after a video walkthrough.
What drives the cost up
On a short route like this, the details of your pickup and delivery addresses often matter more than mileage. Stairs, elevator reservations and condo move-in windows can add time, and summer, weekend and month-end dates cost more. Adding packing services raises the total, and storage can cover a gap between your Georgia move-out and your Florida move-in.
Our moving cost calculator gives a quick first estimate before you request a binding quote.
What to expect on this route?
Most Georgia-to-Florida moves are picked up and delivered within one to four days. Atlanta shipments leave on I-75 South, which carries heavy traffic through the downtown connector and the south metro suburbs, and cross central Georgia, passing Valdosta before entering Florida. We schedule pickup and departure to avoid Atlanta rush hour and plan Florida deliveries around afternoon thunderstorms in summer.

Georgia and Florida Moving Logistics
Because the trip is short, most of the planning is about the buildings and the schedule at each end.
Leaving Atlanta and Georgia
Midtown, Buckhead and downtown towers usually require an insurance certificate, a booked elevator and a move-out window, while the suburbs and cities such as Macon and Savannah are mostly houses with easier access. Our Georgia movers page covers the state in more detail.
Florida condos, HOAs and gated communities
Many Florida condos and HOAs limit moves to certain days and hours and require a certificate of insurance. Our write-up on what to expect when moving into a Florida condo lists the questions to ask, and our Jacksonville moving checklist and Tampa moving guide cover two of the most common destinations.
Hurricane season
Florida’s hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and storms that reach Georgia can also affect pickups near the coast. We keep windows flexible and update you through real-time tracking if a storm changes the plan. Our guide on how to prepare for a hurricane during a Florida move explains what to do if one is forecast.
Moving Your Car from Georgia to Florida
At about five to ten hours of driving, most households simply drive their own cars. Florida requires you to register your vehicle after you establish residency, so check state requirements before you arrive.
Best Time to Move from Georgia to Florida
Movers are busiest in summer (May through September), on weekends, and at the start and end of each month. A weekday move between October and April is usually cheaper and easier to schedule, and it avoids the peak of Florida hurricane season. This route is rarely disrupted by winter weather.
Cost of Living: Georgia vs. Florida
Florida has no state income tax, while Georgia taxes income, which is part of why some households make this move. Housing costs depend on where you land, since Atlanta’s intown neighborhoods can be as expensive as Orlando, Tampa or Jacksonville, while Miami runs higher. Homeowners insurance is a bigger yearly cost in Florida than in Georgia, so price it before you commit.
What our 2026 data shows for Georgia to Florida moves
- Florida’s pull is growing again: about 63% of the Florida-related moves we priced from January to mid-July 2026 were people moving in, up 9.5 points from the same months of 2025, the first reversal in five years.

In moves customers booked with us, June carries about 14% of the year’s moves and February about 5%, about 29% of moves land in the last week of the month, and summer moves cost about 19.5% more than off-season moves. The typical customer books 34 days before moving day. Our guidance: sellers book about 30 to 45 days ahead, renters about 3 to 4 weeks, and June or month-end dates earlier. The 8th through the 20th is usually easiest.

Every quote is a flat-rate, binding price set after a video walkthrough: if your inventory does not change, your price does not change, and an item added later is priced on its own. Since September 1, 2026 each video estimate is recorded and checked against the final inventory, every item carries a barcode scanned at pickup and delivery, and interstate moves include 30 days of free storage (see storage in transit). Your own truck and a delivery date you choose typically adds $1,500 to $4,500; most long-distance moves share a truck and deliver within a window.
Long-distance moves ride on 18-wheelers about 70 feet long and more than 13 feet tall, so a smaller shuttle truck sometimes carries your things to the big truck; check your address with our shuttle checker and read when a moving truck needs a shuttle. On a non-binding estimate a mover cannot require more than 110% of the estimate at delivery (binding vs. non-binding estimates). We run interstate moves under our own federal authority (USDOT 3756000, MC 1335229); here is how to check any mover’s DOT record, and our moving cost calculator gives a number for your own home.
