• Inventory & special items. We list everything you’re moving and flag heavy or fragile items (pianos, safes, antiques) for special handling.
• Extra services. Full-service packing, storage, elderly people transportation — inform us so we calculate ans estimate accurately.

Sample Boston to Florida Moving Timeline

Moving from Boston to Florida typically takes about 3 to 7 days, depending on where you’re headed — Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, or Miami.

Our movers usually start at sunrise, carefully loading and securing your items before beginning the 1,300–1,500-mile ride down the East Coast. The route runs through multiple states, and we plan rest stops to keep the crew and cargo safe.

Because Florida’s weather can be unpredictable — from heavy rain to hurricane alerts, especially between June and November — we keep an eye on NOAA forecasts. If severe weather is expected, we adjust timing or routes in advance to protect your belongings and ensure safe delivery.

Throughout the trip, your coordinator sends daily GPS updates, so you’ll always know where your truck is.

What to Know Before Moving from Boston to Florida

The Sunshine State’s average humidity can be tangibly higher than Boston’s, especially in the summer. We take such details into account and pack electronics, leather goods, and fur clothing in moisture-resistant containers. Upon request, we can place these items in a climate-controlled compartment to keep them safe on the road.

In Boston, narrow streets often mean you’ll need a temporary curbside permit to park the moving truck — apply for it on the government website.

In Florida, some streets require city-issued loading permits. Others allow short-term loading if properly signed. Many municipalities have strict rules about blocking sidewalks, driveways, hydrants, or marked “No Parking” zones. Research on this matter in advance to save time and money on the delivery day.

Happy news — Move & Care secures COIs. We’ve done it many times and are ready to answer all the questions about the legislative part.

When the truck arrives, we don’t just unload boxes and disappear. We’ll reassemble furniture, unwrap items out of protective blankets (included at no extra cost), arrange larger pieces where they belong, and clear out all packing materials before leaving—so you can settle in and start enjoying a new place right away.

What if you’re not ready to deliver all your items at once? It’s okay — we offer secure long- or short-term storage facilities. Your things will be 24/7 monitored in a climate controlled space where nobody can reach them.

The Moving Process (Boston to Florida)

Before the move

Your personal move manager — a federally certified (FMCSA) long-distance specialist with 10+ years of cross-country experience — starts with a short video walkthrough to log belongings. Then a specialist secures COI and helps with parking permits. If you order packing materials from us, we drop off boxes and tape within the week or on the schedule you choose. We’ll plan an early, pre-dawn departure whenever possible to avoid the worst of I-95/NYC congestion.

On moving day

When you choose full-service packing, a trained team pads, stretch-wraps every item, tags each piece with an inventory barcode, and loads it into our suspension-equipped tractor-trailer by itself. Two licensed drivers rotate shifts; you get nightly GPS location updates so you always know where the truck is. If a Nor’easter or tropical system looks likely, we change course immediately to protect the schedule and your things.

Delivery & set-up in Florida

Within about 72 hours we arrive at your Florida building. Movers handle building access and provide the required COI. Then we reassemble furniture, place rugs and artwork exactly where you tell us, and remove all packing debris. The final step is a final check to confirm everything is intact
