Review Analysis
Flex Moving & Storage draws high praise for its friendly, professional staff and reliable efficiency, based on input from 255 customers—over 93% of which were positive. Most customers highlight courteous team members, careful handling of possessions, and a fast, seamless moving process. Many reviews point out that movers were prompt, helpful, and ensured belongings arrived undamaged. Customers also report clear communication from drivers and staff. On the downside, a small number of clients complain about damaged items, hidden or inflated charges, and poor communication—or even lack of response—when resolving complaints. Instances of severe damage or loss are rare but mentioned; some customers describe difficulties with insurance, follow-ups, or recovering property, especially compared to competitors that prioritize transparency and tracking. Flex's high percentage of positive feedback marks it above many moving companies, but the negative feedback focuses on significant concerns like property damage and billing overages, issues that set it apart from top-tier rivals. Most experiences exceed expectations, yet some caution is warranted regarding clear policies and claims support.

Review Analysis
Movers that work like clockwork and staff who know how to handle your things with care—1776 Moving and Storage, Inc. receives praise from most customer input. Among 283 reviews, 71% highlighted punctual, professional, and helpful teams who worked efficiently, took special care with delicate items, and made stressful moves easier. Customers described movers as hardworking, thoughtful, and fast, while office personnel earned recognition for effective communication and support. People also noted that moves often finished ahead of schedule, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.

Others reported unexpected costs significantly higher than estimates, and concerns over how complaints were handled. Compared to similar companies, 1776 Moving and Storage excels in professionalism, speed, and the reassurance of careful handling, though it faces criticism for problem resolution and pricing transparency. The majority of customers found the moving process smooth and stress-free, but some experienced avoidable hassles with property damage or billing after the job. If reliability and friendly crews top your checklist, this company stands strong, though those sensitive to risks of damage or extra charges may want to clarify policies upfront.

Review Analysis
Rave reviews paint Suddath Van Lines as a leader in reliability and professionalism. Among the 278 feedback items analyzed, a remarkable 95.7% express satisfaction, reflecting a service standard rarely matched in the moving industry. Customers frequent words like professional, efficient, and careful describe movers who are consistently punctual, polite, and attentive with belongings. Teams are praised for organized packing, seamless coordination, and communicating clearly at every step. Suddath’s staff wins high marks for courtesy and friendly attitudes, easing typical moving stress. Most feedback highlights smooth, damage-free moves and fast turnaround without sacrificing quality. Many reviewers note repeat positive experiences, spanning both military and civilian moves. On the other hand, 4.0% reported issues, mostly centered around damaged items, late or delayed deliveries, or poor communication when problems arose. Although Suddath clearly outshines many competitors—who often suffer far higher negative rates—these few frustrations underscore the importance of quality control and post-move support. In summary, the company enjoys an outstanding reputation for professionalism, careful handling, and efficiency, with most clients recommending their services; only isolated complaints about damage and delay tarnish an otherwise stellar track record.

Review Analysis
Moving with peace of mind stands out in customer feedback for Cento Family Moving & Storage. Analyzing 40 customer reviews, 68% gave positive input while 33% shared negative experiences. Most clients praise Cento's professional, careful staff, their efficient and quick process, and smooth communication throughout. Movers emerged as both skilled and polite, with many reports of items handled safely and moves completed faster than expected. On the other hand, several customers cited damaged or lost belongings as their main issue. Other common complaints include poor communication during claims or follow-up and inaccurate pricing or quotes, occasionally leading to higher bills than estimated. Cento earns more favorable feedback for professionalism and efficiency than many moving firms, but the rate of item-related damage and responsiveness issues suggests some inconsistency in service. Prospective customers seeking careful handling and prompt, polite service may be pleased but should pay close attention to coverage, estimate clarity, and claims response when booking.

Review Analysis
Moving nightmares turned easy—that’s what most KnightSpeed Moving feedback reveals, with 87% of the 181 reviews praising the company. Customers consistently highlight the team’s efficient service, professional attitude, speedy process, affordable prices, and their careful handling of items—attributes not always present in the moving industry. People share stories of last-minute rescue moves, straightforward booking, and fast, polite staff who handle belongings with care. On the other hand, criticisms often focus on difficulty reaching the company, lack of updates, occasional damage to property or items, and unexpected charges. Some mention communication issues leading to last-minute cancellations, while others cite damages without proper protective equipment or higher bills than anticipated. Compared to similar services, KnightSpeed Moving stands out for its cost-effectiveness and willingness to address concerns quickly. Their strong reputation is built on repeat business and effective responses to problems, but improving communication and minimizing surprises could take them to the next level.

Review Analysis
Moving day made simple—out of 238 customer feedback entries, about 93% of clients praised Orlando Express Movers, making it one of the highest-rated moving services in the area. Customers most frequently highlighted efficient service, professionalism, careful treatment of belongings, speedy moves, and competitive rates. Many noted stress-free experiences, polite staff, and precise handling, even for fragile or complex items. Minor delays and slightly higher rates were quickly forgiven thanks to consistent quality and courteous communication. In contrast, a few clients described instances of damaged belongings, weak complaint follow-up, and issues with pricing estimates, mentioning slow claims or unsatisfactory resolutions. Only a handful of customers found the response to breakage underwhelming, or noted inaccurate initial estimates led to larger bills. Compared to other moving companies, Orlando Express Movers inspires more repeat business, generates fewer service complaints, and receives far more glowing recommendations from customers. Those seeking speed, care, and reliability find this team delivers—though it is wise to clarify insurance and final pricing upfront, as with any mover.

Best long-distance movers in Orlando 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 Orlando-based company that focuses on small moves.

Here are the companies we recommend:

Moving containers for long-distance moves in Orlando

A moving container can be a great solution if you want to save a little money on your move from Orlando 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 Orlando

The average cost for professional movers in Orlando is $80 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 Orlando

  • Moving method: Your budget will look very different depending on whether you go full-service, use a container, or rent your own truck. Choose based on how much labor you’re willing to handle yourself.
  • Distance from start to finish: Longer moves mean higher transportation costs. Relocating across several states from Orlando will cost more than a nearby in-state move.
  • Extras you request: Need help packing? Unloading? Storage? Those perks add convenience — but they also add to your bottom line.
  • The size of your move: Movers charge based on total weight or volume. If you’re taking everything, costs will rise. Lightening the load before leaving Orlando can help.
  • Time of year you move: Summer rates are almost always higher. If you want a better deal, try planning for the off-season or mid-month window.

FAQs

What else should I know about moving out of Florida?

A moving company helping you move out of Florida must be properly licensed and have a US Department of Transportation number. Of course, all of the Orlando movers we’ve included on this list have everything in order but you can check for yourself on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.

If you’re moving from one state to another, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move document from the FMCSA.

Should I hire locally or go national when moving from Orlando?

Local movers in Orlando usually offer the best value, and with 34 to choose from, you’ll find plenty of competitive options. Our recommendations highlight the top-rated movers in your area to simplify your decision.

That said, if your move extends past Florida, a national mover might be the smarter pick. Though they can be pricier, their long-distance expertise helps ensure a smoother relocation.

When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Orlando?

Moving in Orlando during November and December has its perks. With chilly temps (around 49°F), holiday commitments, and the school year underway, most people aren’t relocating, so moving companies have more open schedules. That means you’ve got a better chance to score discounts and even negotiate for lower rates. Check out tips on how to negotiate with moving companies for extra savings.

What are the cheapest ways to move out of Orlando?

If you're moving less than 50 miles within Orlando, a DIY approach is usually the most budget-friendly option. You can save big by renting a truck — U-Haul is a popular pick — or by choosing a moving container service like PODS. Looking for even more ways to cut costs? Check out our guide to the cheapest ways to move out of state.
