Can movers operate during heavy rain or tropical storms?

Yes, your movers can operate in rainy weather. Jacksonville movers are used to working in all weather conditions, from summer heat to heavy rain, and usually take extra precautions to protect your belongings from the elements by using furniture covers and mattress bags. However, they won’t operate during unsafe weather conditions like hurricanes. If the government advises evacuating or remaining indoors due to extreme weather, you and your movers must adhere to the safety notices and postpone the move to another time.

Do I need to tip movers in Jacksonville?

While tipping isn’t mandatory in Jacksonville, it is customary, and a great way to show your appreciation for a job well done. How much you tip depends on a few factors, so consider the size and complexity of the move and how well the team performed. An average tip is around $15–$50 per mover, or 15–20% of the total moving fee.

What is the cheapest day to hire movers?

Wednesday is usually the cheapest day to hire movers in Jacksonville. Avoiding the high-demand school holidays and summer months can also help reduce costs. Consider moving in June, when Jacksonville movers typically offer lower rates.

Which highways or roads should I avoid when driving a moving truck in Jacksonville during peak hours?

Avoid Blanding Boulevard, Baymeadows Road, and San Jose Boulevard during peak hours. These roads, especially near I-95 or I-295, see heavy congestion. Rush hour typically runs from 7-9 am and 4-6:30 pm. If you’re driving a moving truck, also steer clear of the Main Street/State Street intersection, one of the city’s busiest.

Can I add packing to my move?

Yes, packing services are available as an add-on through many full-service moving companies on MovingPlace. You’ll pay a little extra, but your movers will pack your belongings into boxes for safe transportation, saving you time and hassle. Make sure you double-check with your movers’ packing policies to see if you need to provide your own materials.

"Most cost estimates are based on limited data that doesn't account for timing, location, or move size. Ours are built on years of real moves — so what you see here is actually based on what people in Jacksonville pay."

How we calculate these numbers

1

Start with local data We pull from 1M+ completed moves on our platform. If Jacksonville has enough data (at least 10 moves of a given size), that local data is our baseline.

2

Fill gaps with regional context Where local data is thin, we expand to county, then state, then cities with comparable household income levels—so estimates stay market-relevant.

3

Normalize for consistency We apply weighted calculations across categories to prevent a single outlier from skewing what a typical move should cost.

Read the full methodology →

Keep in mind: many factors can affect the actual cost of your move—like the time of year, current demand, number of stairs, heavy items, and more. The best way to get accurate pricing for your specific move is to use our simple, 3-step quote tool. You can compare pricing from multiple providers, customize your move, and ultimately book the mover that best fits your needs.

How to Save on Moving in Jacksonville

In Jacksonville, FL, the average cost of labor-only move help is only $412.35, compared to $1,078.86 for a local full-service move, so hiring labor-only movers could save you hundreds of dollars on your move, if you're willing to rent a truck or moving container.

Additionally, MovingPlace's algorithm matches you with the mover that offers the best value for your needs, and our Best Price Guarantee means that you can book with the confidence that you are getting the best deal.

Movers | Pro Touch Movers LLC

Moving is never easy, but this team made the entire experience absolutely stress-free. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, courteous, and incredibly hardworking. They treated our belongings as if they were their own, taking extra care with furniture, fragile items, and everything in between. What impressed me most was their efficiency. They worked quickly without ever sacrificing quality or attention to detail. The crew communicated throughout the entire process, kept a positive attitude, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly where we wanted it. After a long move from Massachusetts to Florida, having a reliable and trustworthy moving company made all the difference. Not a single item was damaged, and the team exceeded every expectation we had. If you're looking for movers who are professional, dependable, hardworking, and genuinely care about their customers, look no further. I would recommend them without hesitation and would gladly use them again in the future. Five stars isn't enough!

Can not recommend South Bound enough! Jason and Matt were fantastic and got the most out of our PODS 16 foot container. They were on time, hard working and incredibly knowledgeable about how to pack the pod to take advantage of all the usable space. When we needed to extend by one hour, they were happy to stay and finish the job properly. They took items down in the opposite order that I expected and I’m so glad they did because there’s no way all of my stuff would have fit in the container with the way I would’ve tried to pack the pod. All around, they were friendly, professional and extremely helpful for us in the stressful time before a cross-country move. I give them my highest recommendation!

These guys are fantastic! They helped me move in 3 years ago, and now have helped me move out. The POD had to be placed at the far end of the apartment complex parking lot, but they took it in stride and did an amazing job. They are fast, efficient, and super pleasant. Highly recommend!
