What to know about moving in Tallahassee
Moving costs in Tallahassee vary depending on lots of different factors, like the time of year, the amount of stuff you have, and the type of moving services you use. When you want a hands-off, full-service move, prepare to spend an average of $9,060.1 If you need moving and storage containers, you’ll likely spend around $3,800. Moving van rentals are the most affordable route, with an average price of $1,128.
It depends. How much space do you need? How far are you going? How long will you use the container for storage? On average, movers spend $3 per mile on moving containers, for a total of $3,870.2 But keep in mind, costs might be higher or lower depending on the size and number of containers, distance you’re traveling, and season.
Since Florida has high humidity levels, it’s smart to consider climate-controlled storage in Tallahassee. Items like furniture, electronics, clothing, important paperwork, and musical instruments can be damaged in extreme weather, and climate-controlled units offer extra protection—ensuring belongings don’t get too hot, cold, or wet.
