  • Professionalism
  • Quality of service
  • Affordability
  • Experience in flawless execution

  • Storage facilities for a short or long term as per requirements.
  • Tracking and customer support available 24×7.

Make Sure The Company Is Established And Experienced

No moving company can get established overnight. Moving companies need years to train their staff, fine-tune the process, and establish their reputation. Established companies have made mistakes and learnt from those mistakes. In Florida, there are some good long-distance moving companies that have been around for a long time and successfully completed many jobs. If you hire an established and experienced company, you will have peace of mind, knowing that your belongings are secured. That is why you should learn about a moving company before hiring it.

Check If The Moving Company Is Licensed and Insured

Before hiring long distance moving services in Florida, do not hesitate to ask them to show their license. A good moving company will show you its license and papers of insurance. There is a good way to check a mover’s license. You just have to go to the website of the Federal Motor Carrier Administration. When you request a quote, good moving companies provide a clear explanation of their insurance.

Read The Reviews & Other People Say

To know about a particular moving service, read the reviews provided by their previous clients. If a moving company is well-reviewed by the customers, you can rely on the company. A simple Google search can bring you some good customer experience information. A bad review or two should not be taken seriously, but make sure that most of the reviews are positive.

The Affordability Check

You should not make a decision solely based on the price. When they give you a quote, do not rely on your initial instinct. Also make sure you do not end up spending more that necessary. Try to spend less but get things done. When picking long distance moving services in Florida, price should be a factor, but you should consider other important factors too. Check what additional services they offer and whether you need those services. The additional services can be disassembling and reassembling, packing and unpacking, shuttle services, and temporary storage. They may want to offer some other services. You have to think about it and let them know whether you need these services. The moving quote should be consistent with your budget. If a moving quote sounds too good, it is good to be a bit suspicious.

Look For Red Flags!

You may not think that way, but a long-distance move can be very complicated. There are people who will try to scam you by using your logistical needs. If a moving company requires a large deposit, think twice before hiring the company. Good moving companies have records of a business, and those records are easily accessible. If you smell a rat, steer clear of the company.

Make Sure The Moving Quotes And Estimates Are Detailed

Reputable moving services provide detailed quotes, and they do not give you any hazy estimate. Do not rely on a verbal estimate, because in that case you will find it hard to compare apples to apples. When it comes to the cost, long distance moving services in Florida are clear and transparent. If a company does not tell you anything except giving you a number, steer clear of the company.

Avoid Companies That Change Their Names

It is important to understand why some businesses use several names. This is a way to avoid the assessment of the Better Business Bureau. A company with license and insurance should have a local address. And when you call, the employees should use the full name of the company. If you notice that the company runs the business under another name, think twice before hiring the company. If you search online, you may find some negative reviews about the company. Most long distance moving services in Florida run businesses under one name.

Get References

It is a good idea to get references from your friends and family. And if they are not able to provide references, there are other ways to get them. Many reputable companies have recommendations, and you can get those recommendations online. If you speak with a mover, ask for references. Before hiring long distance moving services in Florida, ask them who they have worked with in the past few months. You can directly call those customers and talk to them.

Beware Of Extra Fees

Depending on the type of the house you are moving into, movers often unethically charge extra fees. In that case it is a good idea to negotiate elevators and stairs. A moving van may not fit in a narrow street. For smooth delivery, movers will have to use a smaller truck, and you should pay accordingly. Whenever you have to pay an extra fee, think whether it applies to that particular situation.

Be Careful About Packing Costs

If you know how to pack, and you have the materials needed, you can do it yourself. In that case, the mover you have hired can not be held responsible for any damage. If your mover does the packing, you will have to pay for packing materials, boxes, time and labor. The prices may add up and get higher. If you allow your movers to pack your belongings, ask them about their packing experience. Although most movers pack carefully, some do not and there is the risk of breakage.

The Intuition Check

Although your decision about hiring a long distance moving service should be based on facts and logic, sometimes intuition is an important thing. Your intuition is what your gut feelings tell you to do. When you are faced with the dilemma of choosing from multiple moving companies, and all of them are good, you should choose one that your gut feelings tell you to hire. There are some equally good long distance moving services in Florida.

Report Any Problems

If you have hired a moving company and want to report any problem, you can file that claim within nine months. So if you want to check whether the glass has broken, check it within nine months. You should check for damage on moving day and report to the movers if you find any issue. Report problems before you sign the copy of the bill. As a rule of thumb, moving companies acknowledge your claim within 30 days. Choosing a good moving company is more complicated than it sounds, and you have to be very careful. The final decision should be based on your particular situation. Hopefully the tips provided in this post will help you find one that can get the job done.

I contacted several companies to inquire about help for unloading a moving truck. We chose to use Flat Fee Movers and we were pleased with the experience. They were very professional in gathering information over the phone to provide us with the written estimate emailed to us. The email provided enough information so that there were no surprises. The price was reasonable and the helpers were polite and did a good job. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and I will recommend them to friends.⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

I just moved from Sarasota to Orlando within 4 hours. These guys were quick, professional, and efficient. They were extremely flexible with my schedule and needless to say I am pleased. They are a nice family buisness and I definitely recommend them for local and long distance moves 🚛. Not to mention these guys were patient (I was late), polite, and handsome so that was a plus. A 5 star experience. You won’t find a better moving company. This was a last minute move with only 4 hour notice (I called at 5 am).

Flat fee movers are really efficient and reliable movers. Crew arrived on time, well equipped with boxes, tape and the shrink wrap stuff to wrap around the sofas, couches and all the furniture. I was impressed with the amount of detail put into safely moving my household goods. Kudos to your staff for an excellent moving day. You made moving easy for me and for that I am ever grateful. Moving form Lakewood Ranch back down to the Siesta area is something I have put off for months now, but flat fee helped me make the transition. Thanks. 🚚😀

Moving is never fun, but Flat Fee Movers made our most recent move a breeze. Mike, the owner, got me a quote right away. And on the day of our move, Mike and Rick were careful, efficient and friendly. They even let my truck loving toddler check out the inside of the truck, which made his day. I highly recommend Flat Fee Movers and would definitely use them again next time we move. ✔️

My movers (Rick, Mike, Scot) did a great job. They were very efficient and careful with delicate items! Although honestly, I was a bit worried about moving valuable artworks and antiques, I bet the movers were thorough in protecting them. I appreciated how quickly the movers were working. They have a teamwork ethic and a heart for customer service. Very pleased and would highly recommend Flat Fee Movers to anyone.

I had a fantastic moving experience on the weekend, thanks a lot to Mike, Scot, Dave and Tommy at Flat Fee Movers. Mike and his team showed up right on time, they were friendly and professional, they were efficient but also really careful with my stuff. I'm always nervous about using moving companies, but these 4 made movers has done such an amazing move. Mike and his team even took apart my furniture and put it back together in my new place. I would use Flat Fee Movers again.

We hired Flat Fee Movers to move our belongings a long distance. The movers arrived promptly, worked quickly and professionally, and were very respectful to our belongings. They had no issue taking apart our king-sized bed and moving it down a very tight entryway. When only three guys showed up for our move, I was skeptical about how long it would take, etc. To say these three handled the job in a timely and professional fashion is an understatement. They were nothing short of outstanding and very nice guys as well. We will use them again if we ever need another move. I'd readily recommend Flat Fee Movers to anyone.

I had relocated with Flat Fee Movers before and always requested the same crew. This time, however, my favorite crew wasn't available. They sent a different crew ( Mike, Scot, Dave, and Tommy ) to help me move. This group of men wasn't any worse than the others I had used before. If anything, they were better! They finished the pack and load process in just 2 hours. I received the delivery on time, and everything was in great condition. I couldn't be happier.

Overall amazing experience. The quote was accurate based on my inventory, and everything went perfectly. The crew arrived early, gave everything a once over, and sprung into action before the quoted start time. Everything was moved with extreme care. Not a single item saw a scratch. The team was incredibly friendly. Before we knew it, we were in our new home. If we were to move again, we would pick Flat Fee Movers again.

This is the fifth time we've hired the Flat Fee Movers and once again, they did not disappoint. Besides being extremely professional and punctual, they are ALWAYS friendly and genuinely make us feel like they love our stuff as much as we do. That level of reliability and trust is difficult to find. I've been thanked time and time again by those I've recommended Flat Fee Movers to and we will continue to recommend them highly.

Flat Fee Movers moved us from our Sarasota home to Tampa. Darren was a pleasure to work with. He did two site visits before the move, and he actually did the move with his crew. Our stuff was handled with the utmost care - wrapped in spotlessly clean moving blankets and then plastic wrap. He was professional, polite, and efficient. They are the best moving company in Sarasota, FL. I would highly recommend Flat Fee Movers and am so happy I went with this company. Thanks to Darren, Mike, Scot, Dave, and Tommy

Mike, Scot, Dave, and Tommy were friendly and professional! Very efficient and careful with our stuff and our house. Overall, a good value, and we were very satisfied with how they handled storage of our items and the move overall. 100% recommended. Don’t waste your time with any other company.

This company is the best and we can't recommend them enough. They gave us a quote that was fair, never tried to change it with our backs turned like other movers have done in the past.

I would be happy to tell anyone looking for reliable moving services about this great experience.

Let me first say that the 3 guys who did the work were very nice. It seemed that one had been doing this a long time, 1 a little while, and 1 who must have been on his first week of the job. So a couple hiccups with that along with an hour to get from one house to the new house (which is a 20minute drive max) but we liked them.The bad - a TV base was shattered (thankfully the screen which I wrapped with bubble wrap prior was fine), a thick oily black substance was on several pieces of furniture, they had to unhook and move our dryer to get past it but didn’t hook it back up, and they took apart our couch but didn’t put it back together. On top of the hour wait for them to get to the new place.We called and emailed but still have yet to get a response. The first phone call where I was actually able to speak to someone we were promised some money back due to the wait time but have yet to see a refund. I was told to email pics of the damage which I did but that was 3 weeks ago and still no response. I would not use this company again. The price seemed affordable but by the end we paid way too much for what we got.

I had Mike as one of the guys, and he was wonderful. But the other two did not work as efficiently as he did and they definitely weren’t as knowledgeable. I got charged an extra hour when the fact is they didn’t even give their workers a lunch break in between my move and the people before me. So of course they are going to be slow. Management clearly works them like mules and don’t even care about a lunch break. I was quoted 625 for three guys for three hours. Didn’t exactly get three “mikes”. Management never mentioned anything about a $35 credit card fee when everything we do is over the phone. I would love to recommend to use Mike again- as long as he doesn’t work for this company.

On the day of the move, the movers showed up right on time and were very careful loading my furniture and boxes so they would not hit anything on the doorways or the truck. I appreciated this very much. They were kind, professional, and knew exactly what they were doing. When everything was packed, they told me they would be in communication the whole time, so I knew exactly when they would arrive. If you are looking for a great moving company, look no further. This company provided outstanding service, even helping me set up my belongings in my new home once they arrived. The service they provided during my move was exactly as described in the beginning. Kudos Flat Fee Movers in Sarasota Florida!
