Average cost of long-distance movers in Tallahassee
In Tallahassee, you can expect to pay about $100 per hour for professional movers. To get a reliable estimate, even the most reputable interstate movers will need specifics about your move’s distance and volume.
Factors that affect the cost of moving from Tallahassee
- 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 Tallahassee 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 Tallahassee 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

Local vs. national movers: what’s best for your Tallahassee move?
If you’re planning a move within Tallahassee or nearby, hiring a local mover is almost always the most economical choice. You’ll have 6 local movers to consider, and we’ve flagged the standouts to make it easier.
For relocations leaving Florida, however, national movers may be worth the extra cost because of their experience in coordinating long-distance moves across state lines.
When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Tallahassee?
Moving companies in Tallahassee tend to be less busy in November and December thanks to colder temperatures (around 39°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 Tallahassee?
If you’re moving less than 50 miles within Tallahassee, handling the move yourself will almost always save you the most money. The most budget-friendly ways to move out of the Tally usually involve renting a moving truck from options like U-Haul, or choosing a moving container service such as PODS. Need more tips?
