12 Best Moving Companies in Miami, FL

To figure out which movers in Miami are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:

• Does the mover have a large operating area? Can they handle moves between states or countries?
• What extra services does the company offer, such as packing assistance or electronics setup?
• What is the quality of the mover's insurance options?
• Does the mover have BBB accreditation, excellent user reviews, and a good reputation among others in the industry?

When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months is generally more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 100,757 college students attending school within 15 miles of Miami will be moving in those months as well.

There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Miami tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.

Many movers have special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.

To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
