Best long-distance movers in Jacksonville for small moves
Full-service movers often require a minimum shipment weight of 3,000 pounds, which means they’re not always a fit if you’re moving out of a dorm, downsizing from a studio, or bringing just a few key pieces with you.
For smaller loads, it’s usually best to hire a Jacksonville-based company that focuses on small moves.
Here are the companies we recommend:

Moving containers for long-distance moves in Jacksonville
A moving container can be a great solution if you want to save a little money on your move from Jacksonville to another Florida city or out of state. While you will have to handle the heavy lifting, you can load and unload containers at your preferred pace over several days or more. And the container company will still handle the driving for you.
Container costs vary depending on the distance of your move and the size and number of your containers, so it’s good to get multiple moving quotes to compare pricing for your specific relocation.
You can start with these top moving container companies:

Average cost of long-distance movers in Jacksonville
The average cost for professional movers in Jacksonville is $95 per hour, but even the best interstate moving companies need more information about the distance and size of your move to give you a moving quote.
Factors that affect the cost of moving from Jacksonville
- Type of moving service: Whether you choose a full-service mover, a rental truck, or a container company, each option affects both cost and convenience. Match the method to your budget and how hands-on you want to be.
- Volume of your belongings: More stuff means more money. Movers base quotes on total weight or space, so downsizing before leaving Jacksonville could help reduce your overall cost.
- How far you're going: Distance plays a major role in pricing. A short in-state move is far less expensive than a trek across the country from Jacksonville.
- Move timing: High-demand seasons like summer and weekends drive prices up. If possible, aim for an off-season, mid-month, or mid-week date for a better deal.
- Extra services requested: Hiring help for packing, disassembly, or unloading adds convenience, but also increases your final bill.

FAQs
What else should I know about moving out of Florida?
If you're planning a move out of Florida, your moving company needs to be properly licensed and have a US Department of Transportation number. Rest assured, every Jacksonville mover on our list meets these requirements. Want to double-check? You can look up any company in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.
Planning an out-of-state move? Make sure to check out the FMCSA’s Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move guide to understand your rights and what to expect during your move.
Is a local mover or a national mover better for leaving Jacksonville?
Sticking with a local mover in Jacksonville is generally easier on your wallet. With 22 movers available in the area, you’ll have no shortage of options — and we’ve highlighted the ones most worth considering.
But if your move is taking you out of Florida, national companies often have the resources and experience to handle big relocations more smoothly, even if they come at a premium.
When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Jacksonville?
Moving companies in Jacksonville tend to be less busy in November and December thanks to colder temperatures (around 44°F), the holidays, and the school year. That means you’ll have more room to negotiate with movers and potentially score better deals during these months.
What are the cheapest ways to move out of Jacksonville?
If you’re moving less than 50 miles within Jacksonville, handling the move yourself will almost always save you the most money. The most budget-friendly ways to move out of the Jax usually involve renting a moving truck from options like U-Haul, or choosing a moving container service such as PODS. Need more tips?
