Direct carrier, not a broker
Orange County to Florida Movers Who Own the Truck
A move from Orange County to Florida crosses the whole southern United States, and the question that matters most is who will actually load your home, drive it east and carry it into your new place. Cross Country Moving LLC has been moving California households since 2010. We are a licensed interstate carrier, not a broker: we do not sell your move to another company.
Our own employed crews load your home in Irvine, Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa or anywhere else in Orange County, your shipment rides on a Cross Country Moving truck, and our crews unload it in Florida. One company, one written estimate and one point of contact from the first call to delivery day. See every route we run from the county on our Orange County long distance movers page.
Most of the trip runs on I-10, the southern interstate that links Southern California with Florida — east through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, then along the Gulf Coast through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. It is one of the most direct coast-to-coast corridors, which helps keep the estimated delivery window predictable.

How Much Does It Cost to Move from Orange County to Florida?
Most full-service moves from Orange County to Florida cost between about $1,900 and $16,000, depending mainly on how much you ship and where in Florida you are going. We price by volume in cubic feet (as a rule of thumb, 1 cubic foot ≈ 7 lbs, so 1,000 cu ft ≈ 7,000 lbs). On a route of roughly 2,400–2,700 miles, the volume of your shipment moves the price more than anything else, followed by the Florida destination, packing, access at both homes and the time of year. For a broader view of what drives prices, see our California long distance moving cost guide.
Ranges are planning estimates for Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and South Florida, last reviewed October 2026. Volumes are typical for each home size. Your binding quote is based on your inventory list (in cubic feet), your exact Florida address and the access at both homes.
What moves the price on this route
Volume (cubic feet)
The single biggest factor on a 2,500-mile move. We price by cubic feet, so every piece of furniture you sell or donate before you leave Orange County lowers the price.
Where in Florida
Jacksonville and Orlando are the shortest drives from Orange County; Miami, Fort Lauderdale and the Keys add a few hundred miles down the peninsula.
Access and packing
Gated communities, condo loading docks and long carries in Orange County, and high-rise elevators in South Florida, add labor time. Full or partial packing is itemized in your estimate.
Season and calendar
May through September and month-end dates fill first and cost more. Many Florida buildings also limit move hours, so mid-month weekdays are usually the easiest to schedule.
Specialty items and storage
Pianos, safes, art and oversized pieces get their own handling plan. If your Florida closing or lease date does not line up with delivery, storage-in-transit bridges the gap.

After you arrive
What Changes When You Move from Orange County to Florida
Taxes
Florida has no state personal income tax, while property taxes and homeowners insurance vary a lot by county and by distance from the coast. Compare your own situation before you buy or sign a lease; official information is published by the Florida Department of Revenue.
Time zone
Orange County is on Pacific Time; most of Florida is on Eastern Time, 3 hours ahead (the western Panhandle is on Central Time). Plan delivery calls and building move windows in local Florida time.
Climate and storms
From mild, dry coastal Southern California to hot, humid summers, daily afternoon thunderstorms and the June–November hurricane season. Solid-wood furniture and pianos may need a few weeks to adjust to the humidity.
Driver's license and car
New residents generally need a Florida driver's license and vehicle registration soon after moving; check the current rules and deadlines with Florida HSMV.
Utilities
Electric service depends on the area — for example Florida Power & Light, Duke Energy Florida, Tampa Electric or JEA in Jacksonville. Set up electricity, water and internet before delivery day so the crew can work with lights and A/C on.

Questions we hear most
Orange County to Florida Moving FAQ
How much does it cost to move from Orange County to Florida?

Your binding quote is based on your inventory list; your exact Florida city, packing, access at both homes and the season also affect the price.
How long does a move from Orange County to Florida take?
An estimated 7–21 business days, counted from the day you're ready, for the roughly 2,400–2,700-mile trip. These are estimates, not guaranteed delivery dates; your delivery window is confirmed in writing when you book.
How far is Orange County from Florida by road?
About 2,350 miles to Jacksonville, 2,470 miles to Orlando, 2,500 miles to Tampa and 2,720 miles to Miami, or roughly 36–40 hours of driving. Moving trucks usually take I-10 east across Arizona, New Mexico and Texas and along the Gulf Coast into Florida. Federal hours-of-service rules for truck drivers are one reason delivery takes an estimated 7–21 business days.
Is Cross Country Moving a broker or a direct carrier?
A direct carrier. Cross Country Moving LLC holds its own federal authority, USDOT #2022745 and MC #711417, and performs the move with company-owned trucks and our own employed crews. Your move is never sold to another company, and you can check our record on the FMCSA SAFER website.
How far in advance should I book my Orange County to Florida move?
Book 4–6 weeks ahead for May through September and for month-end dates, and 2–3 weeks ahead the rest of the year. If your Florida condo, high-rise or HOA needs a reservation or a certificate of insurance, request it as soon as you have a move date.
What is the cheapest way to move from Orange County to Florida?
Ship less: sell or donate what you won't use, pack non-fragile items yourself, and choose a mid-month date outside May–September when you can. Volume in cubic feet is the biggest cost factor on a coast-to-coast move.
Does hurricane season affect my move to Florida?
It can. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. If a storm threatens your delivery area, we hold or reroute the truck for safety and keep you updated on the estimated delivery window. Keeping a little flexibility in your arrival plans during those months helps.
My Florida condo or HOA has move-in rules. Can you work with them?
Yes. Send us your building's or HOA's requirements when you book. We schedule the delivery inside the allowed move hours, provide a certificate of insurance if one is required, and plan for gated entries, loading areas and elevator reservations in advance.
Can you store my belongings if my Florida home isn't ready?
Yes. If your closing or lease date doesn't line up with delivery, we can hold your shipment in storage-in-transit and deliver when you are ready. Storage is quoted separately in your estimate.
How can I confirm I'm talking to Cross Country Moving LLC?
Several moving companies use similar names. Check four things: the legal name Cross Country Moving LLC, USDOT #2022745 and MC #711417 on the FMCSA SAFER website, our phone number (844) 646-0016, and our website crosscountrymovingusa.com. If a quote or call doesn't match these, it isn't from us.
Can you move my car to Florida?
We don't ship vehicles ourselves. If you need your car moved, we can refer you to auto transport companies we know and have recommended to customers before.
