Trusted Pennsylvania to Florida Movers

Planning a move from Pennsylvania to Florida? The Keystone to Sunshine pipeline is one of the most common domestic moves in the United States, and with good reason! With no state income tax and generally more affordable cost of living, Florida offers Pennsylvanians an instant “pay bump” while staying in the same time zone and enjoying sunnier weather throughout the year.

As you begin to plan your relocation, remember that the move isn’t just a drive down I-95. You’ll need a comprehensive plan for everything from packing materials and storage to coverage for your belongings during a trip upwards of 1,300 miles.

While any long-distance move can seem overwhelming at first, a trusted moving partner can help. At North American Van Lines, we are experienced Pennsylvania-to-Florida movers who specialize in streamlined interstate relocations. From creating a custom moving plan to unloading boxes and setting up appliances in your new home, we have you covered every step of the way.

Comprehensive Moving Solutions for Your Relocation

As full-service Pennsylvania to Florida movers, North American Van Lines provides personalized relocation packages built around your timeline and budget. Whether you only need some help loading and transporting, or you’d prefer a turnkey white-glove experience, our moving coordinators let you choose the services that fit your needs.

Full-service packing and unpacking

Packing for an interstate move takes more than just boxes and tape (though it takes plenty of those, too). Our professional crews provide full-service packing to secure everything from delicate heirlooms to heavy kitchen appliances. We can also unload and unpack your belongings at the destination and haul away any discarded packing materials.

Loading/unloading with trained professionals

Proper loading requires making sure your items are stowed and secured properly to prevent shifting and damage during the long drive south. Our movers know how to pack efficiently without items to move in transit. Upon arrival in Florida, we’ll place every box, appliance, and piece of furniture in the rooms you designate.

Furniture disassembly and reassembly

Large items like sectional sofas, desks and workbenches, and king-sized bed frames may need to be disassembled for packing and transport. Our team handles the disassembly in Pennsylvania and the reassembly in Florida. We also provide custom crating for specialty items like grandfather clocks that can’t be disassembled.

Vehicle transport options

Driving from Pennsylvania to Florida can take upwards of 20 hours of pure road time, not accounting for traffic and weather. If you’d rather spare your car 1,300 miles’ worth of wear and tear, or you have a spare car you need brought down, we can help. We offer secure interstate shipping for cars, motorcycles, SUVs, and even boats.

Specialty item handling

Our Pennsylvania-to-Florida movers can safely transport sensitive or delicate items like pianos, wine collections and art pieces. We use custom packing and climate-controlled trailers when necessary to maintain a suitable climate for temperature-sensitive items as the truck moves south.

Cost of Moving from Pennsylvania to Florida

Moving can be expensive but that doesn’t mean you have to break your budget. At North American, we understand the costs that come with a long distance move and we work with you to design a moving plan that is just right for your budget. The average line haul (transportation) cost to move from Pennsylvania to Florida with North American is $6,900. It is important to keep in mind, however, that many factors go into determining the cost of a move including the exact distance you are moving, the number of items being moved, special shipping or handling needs, and additional services such as packing and unpacking. At North American, we understand the importance of upfront pricing and that’s why we have made it easy to get an accurate quote using our moving cost calculator tool.

How the Moving Process Works

At North American Van Lines, our goal is to make interstate relocation simple. Every move begins with a dedicated relocation specialist who serves as your single point of contact. After a virtual or in-home consultation to understand your needs, they’ll craft a customized moving plan and provide a transparent quote.

On the big day, our movers arrive on time to handle every service in your contract. We take care of the logistics throughout the trip, including any necessary DOT compliance or tolls. You can keep tabs on your belongings and any changes in the estimated arrival directly through our real-time tracker. Any items designated for storage will be delivered directly to the storage unit. 

The rest will arrive at your new home, where our trained movers will unload, unpack and even set up appliances. You don’t have to lift a finger!

Finally, we remove any discarded packing materials, leaving your new home clutter-free and ready for you to enjoy.

What to Expect When Moving from Pennsylvania to Florida

The most immediate change you will notice is the climate. While Pennsylvania experiences four distinct seasons, Florida’s weather is known for year-round sunshine and a rainy season that runs from June through November. While PA natives won’t be strangers to humidity, Florida’s can be a different beast. Schedule an HVAC inspection early on to make sure you can stay cool, and make sure your new home has appropriate weather-rated equipment.

Florida has no state income tax and offers a 4.7% lower cost of living than Pennsylvania’s on average. However, property taxes can be higher, and homeowner’s insurance may be difficult to secure in coastal areas due to the risk of natural disasters.

Finally, don’t wait to update your driver’s license and vehicle registration! Florida requires you to update your documentation within 30 days of becoming a resident.
