Moving from Toronto to Florida (Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale & State)

One of our busiest long-distance logistics routes is Toronto to Florida. The demand is being driven by retirees, remote workers, and corporate relocations. Many of the clients on this corridor are families relocating to the growing suburbs of Orlando and Tampa, finance and tech workers moving to the booming hubs of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, and “snowbirds” moving into coastal communities along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

Shipments include consolidated loads for luxury high-rise apartments in South Florida to full household moves into large single-family homes in the Jacksonville and Tampa Bay areas. Our pricing is strictly by the cubic foot volume, and we lock in the price before the truck leaves Toronto. This means you will have a very predictable moving budget with no nasty surprises on delivery despite the long 2,200 km move down the coast.

Explore our Canada–USA cross-border moving services for moves in either direction.

How Much Does it Cost to Move from Toronto to Florida?

Inventory Volume (Cubic Feet) + Distance/Route + Destination Logistics

Certificate of Insurance (COI), elevator reservations or use of smaller shuttle trucks due to limited truck access. There may be additional handling charges for these. Shipping to luxury high-rises and waterfront condos in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and downtown Tampa almost always requires strict COI submissions and pre-booked freight elevators.

Cross-Border Customs Simplified

Moving household goods between Canada and the United States requires customs documentation before your shipment can legally cross the border. The required forms depend on the direction of the move. Below you can find a detailed guide explaining the documents needed for cross-border relocation.
