Moving to Florida

When you move to Florida, you get to be part of a state known for its year-round sunshine, lively cities, and stunning coastlines. Known as the Sunshine State, Florida is famous for its warm weather, tourism industry, and rich cultural diversity. Notable Floridians include Tom Petty, Ariana Grande, Tim Tebow, Gloria Estefan, and Marco Rubio.

Landscape & Weather

Florida is a peninsula with beautiful beaches along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The state also features lush Everglades, numerous lakes, and vibrant cities. Florida enjoys a tropical climate in the south and a subtropical climate in the north, with hot summers and mild winters.

After a long week of working, party-ing, coming home at 8 AM to go to meetings at 9.30 AM I had one morning before my flight to go out and shoot. Half awake with the ‘amazing’ taste of last nights’ vodka in my mouth I went out took a few shots and couldn’t even continue after 30 minutes because I was so exhausted. So I went to the beach, sat down and just enjoyed the last few hours in Miami. On my way back to the hotel, I turned around one more time to get a good shot in and took this picture. For me, this picture is pure perfection. Relaxation with a bit of adventure!

Frequently Asked Questions

We are a labor-only moving company but we are happy to recommend affordable trucks near you!

When you book your move, we take an inventory of the amount and size of your items. Based on your personalized inventory we will indicate the measurements needed for the truck. Your UniMovers will ensure to pack your items to fit safely and neatly.

UniMovers is a labor-only moving company. We strive to be the best, affordable movers near you. With labor-only moving services people save an estimated 30-50% of what they would pay for a full service moving company. 

Typically, we supply lifting straps, ratchet straps, and tools to assemble and disassemble beds and other miscellaneous furniture upon request. To ensure we bring the tools and equipment needed, we ask that you make a note for any bulky items and any items that may require assembly in your inventory list. We do not provide moving blankets or a dolly. These items may be rented through your local moving truck rental company.

Not all locations are the same, some may have more or less equipment than stated here. We recommend reaching out to your local UniMovers location for more information.

After you submit a booking request, we will reach out to confirm everything with you. If your request seems off from what we expect, we might recommend getting more movers or for a longer amount of time. If your move takes longer than expected, we try our best to work around our schedule to finish your move. In these cases, it’s important to keep in mind, that we charge hourly.

In the simplest terms, a labor-only moving company does not provide trucks. Labor-only moving companies are becoming the new trend because they allow owners to open their company with little start-up cost and few licenses enabling them to have more competitive rates compared to their full-service adversaries. A recent study by MovingLabor.com found that labor-only moving services people save an estimated 30-50% of what they would pay for a full-service moving company.

Our movers are paid by the hour, but tips are always welcome based on how satisfied you are with our services. On average, customers tip 17.5% and movers keep 100% of the tips they earn! If you’d like to learn more, we recommend you check out this guide on tipping movers!

We do not charge a cancellation fee but if you need to cancel, please let us know 48 hours before the time of your scheduled move. Please note that last minute cancelations keep us from running our business and helping other people move.
