The Cost of Moving Services in Jacksonville, FL

In Jacksonville, your move boils down to two solid options, labor-only or full-service movers:

  • Labor-only means saving cash by renting a truck or moving container while a moving team takes care of the loading and unloading.
  • Full-service is pricier — but you can relax while movers take care of it all, including driving the rental truck down Jacksonville's maze of streets.

See the pricing comparison table below for more details.

The Cost of Labor-Only Movers in Jacksonville

Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers who select our labor-only moving service use the help to load or unload their PODS container.

Hiring labor-only movers in Jacksonville is perfect if you’ve got the truck or storage container handled and just need extra hands. Expect the final cost to be around $81.58 per hour for this option. Want even better savings? Skip peak times and go for a Monday during April.

The size of your home and how far you move affect pricing, too. See the table below for exact costs.

1 Bedroom Apartment22.2$329

The Cost of a Local Full-Service Move in Jacksonville

Full-service moving might cost a bit extra — around $787.30 on average — but your movers handle loading, unloading, and driving for you. If you book on a Monday in April when the movers aren’t slammed, you could save some cash.

Keep in mind the distance of your move and the size of your home can push prices up or down, too. The pricing table below explains costs in more detail.

Real Advice from Jacksonville Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Jacksonville. (They’re really nice!)

"If you're moving between June and November, be prepared for heavy rains and possibly hurricanes. If your moving date is flexible, consider moving to Jacksonville during the dry season. Hurricane risk will be lower, tourism traffic is lighter, and your moving cost will be lower. Moving costs go up in the summer months when most people are moving."

"If you are moving locally in and out Jacksonville, Yulee, Fernandina beach & St. Augustine area be sure to take the 295 Beltway or I-95 interstate highway to connect completely through these local areas."

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Jacksonville

Tip 1: Beat the Jacksonville Traffic

Everyone knows Jacksonville traffic can be brutal, especially if your route crosses the Buckman Bridge or the Fuller Warren Bridge. Stay ahead of the curve and keep your cool by planning smart:

  • Schedule your move for midmorning or early afternoon to dodge peak-hour chaos on I-95 and I-10, especially around downtown and Southside.
  • Always have a backup route, such as I-295 or the Arlington Expressway, in case an accident or surprise construction pops up.
Bonus tip: Bookmark Florida’s handy FL511 traffic map for live traffic updates.

Tip 2: Secure Your Parking Spot Ahead of Time

Downtown and historic neighborhoods have tons of charm — and some confusing parking setups. Don’t wing it and risk blocking the whole street with your moving truck:

  • Reserve your parking space early by contacting Jacksonville’s Office of Public Parking. It saves you from hassle and potential fines.
  • Coordinate elevator use with your apartment or condo management to ensure everything runs smoothly on moving day — especially the elevator itself.
Bonus tip: A quick heads-up to your new neighbors helps keep driveways clear — and starts you off on the right foot.

Tip 3: Get Your Utilities Squared Away Early

Nobody loves paperwork, but walking into your new home without power or internet is even worse. Here's how to handle your Jacksonville move without unnecessary hassle:

  • Update your address quickly online via Florida HSMV.
  • Schedule utilities, such as water, electricity, and internet, a week or two before your move to make sure everything’s ready when you arrive.
Bonus tip: Got stuff to toss? Schedule a bulk trash pickup through Jacksonville's bulk trash service to make cleanup easy.

Yes. Staircases require more time and more labor from the movers. It’s important to report the number of stairs and floors you have in order to receive an accurate quote and find the most budget-friendly options for your move.

You can find moving professionals with experience in high-rise moves on our platform. They come prepared with the right equipment to handle elevator access, service elevators, and building time restrictions.

The cheapest month to move in Jacksonville is April. However, we recommend keeping an eye on hurricane season, which runs from June to December and is most active in October and November. If your move falls during this time, prepare to be flexible and plan accordingly.

HireAHelper’s platform lets you view a mover’s insurance details directly on their profile page for peace of mind. We recommend double-checking each mover, as licensing requirements can vary for labor-only services. All of our full-service moving companies are fully licensed and insured.
