Why Move from Virginia Beach to Orlando?

We see a lot of families making this move, and it usually comes down to three things: taxes, weather, and lifestyle.

  • Tax Benefits: Florida has 0% state income tax. Coming from Virginia, that’s an immediate raise for your bank account.

  • The Weather: You can say goodbye to the damp, gray Virginia winters. Orlando is hot and humid, but for many of our clients, the year-round sun is worth it.

  • Entertainment: You’re moving to the theme park capital of the world. Even if you aren’t into Disney or Universal, the dining and entertainment scene in Orlando is massive compared to the quieter vibe of the 757.

The Logistics: The 12+ Hour Haul

Moving to Orlando isn’t a quick hop like a move to Raleigh. It’s a full commitment. Our trucks head South on I-95, crossing through the Carolinas and Georgia before hitting the Florida line and turning onto I-4.

Because of the distance and federal driving regulations, this is typically a two-day move. We load your home in Virginia Beach on Day 1, drive down, and deliver fresh on Day 2 (or Day 3, depending on your closing schedule). Unlike big van lines that might hold your stuff in a warehouse for weeks, we drive directly to your new door.

Services for Your Florida Move

The heat and distance mean we have to pack differently.

  • Heat-Sensitive Packing: Florida gets hot. We know how to pack electronics, candles, and artwork so they don’t melt or warp in the truck during the summer drive down I-95.

  • Storage Options: Closing dates don’t always line up. If your new home in Orlando isn’t ready yet, we offer storage solutions to keep your items safe until you get the keys.

  • Full Packing: If you don’t want to stress about boxes, our team can handle the full packing and unpacking process for you.

Military and Retirement Relocations

We are proud to be a military-friendly mover. We know that many service members transition from NAS Oceana or Norfolk Naval Station down to Florida bases or simply to retire in a veteran-friendly state. If you are doing a DITY (Personally Procured Move), we provide the weight tickets and paperwork you need for your reimbursement.

Local Knowledge: Virginia vs. Florida

A few tips from someone who drives this route:

  1. Tolls: Virginia Beach has the tunnels, but Orlando has toll roads everywhere. You’ll want to look into getting a SunPass or E-PASS as soon as you get there, as EZ-Pass doesn’t work on every single Florida road yet.

  2. Traffic: You might think the HRBT traffic is bad, but I-4 in Orlando is its own challenge. We plan our arrival times carefully to avoid the worst of the tourist traffic.

Transparent Pricing

We believe in no hidden fees. For a long-distance move like this, we give you a flat, guaranteed price based on your inventory. You won’t get hit with a surprise “shuttle fee” or “long carry fee” at the end of the trip.
