Long distance moves come with unique challenges — longer travel times, complex logistics, and higher stakes for your belongings. Selecting the right moving company is critical for a successful move. Here’s how to choose the best long distance movers for your Florida relocation.
Understand Your Moving Needs
Determine the size and scope of your move. Are you moving a small apartment or a large household? Do you need packing services or just transport? Knowing your needs helps you find the right service level.
Research Company Credentials
Check for proper licensing and insurance. For interstate moves, movers should be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Verify their USDOT number online.
Read Customer Reviews
Look for reviews on platforms like Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Pay attention to recurring complaints and how the company addresses them.
Request Detailed Written Estimates
Get written quotes from multiple movers. Beware of estimates that are significantly lower than others — they may increase charges later.
Ask About Services and Policies
Clarify what services are included: packing, storage, insurance coverage, delivery times, and cancellation policies.
Confirm Equipment and Crew Experience
Inquire about the moving trucks and equipment, as well as the experience level of the moving crew.
Communication and Customer Service
Choose a company that is responsive, transparent, and willing to answer all your questions.
Check for Claims Process
Understand how the company handles damage claims and whether they offer adequate insurance options.
