If you're moving to Florida from Aurora, you already know this isn't a short haul. At roughly 1,891 miles, you're in full long-distance territory — and the cost, logistics, and lifestyle shift all reflect that.
Florida makes a compelling case on paper: no state income tax, lower cost of living, and winters that don't require a snow shovel. But before you start imagining the beach, let's work through the practical side — what it'll actually cost, which Aurora movers handle this route, and what life looks like on the other end.
Use our moving cost calculator for a quick ballpark before you start calling companies.
Out of 53 Aurora-based movers that handle interstate routes, here are the five with the strongest ratings for a move like this one.
7700 E Iliff Ave B, Denver, CO 80231 4.6 / 5 | 90% positive reviews | BBB Grade: A+
Across more than 400 reviews, Moving U earns a 90% positive rate — and the feedback tells a consistent story: crews arrive on time, communicate clearly, and treat furniture like it's worth something. Customers specifically mention that final costs tend to match estimates, which matters more than most people realize until they've been burned by a bait-and-switch bill.
The downsides are the usual suspects: occasional damage, a crew that runs late, a final invoice slightly higher than the quote. None of it's disqualifying, but get their damage policy in writing before moving day.
DOT #: 2267448 | State License: 2267448 | In business: 13 years
Services: Local & interstate moves, packing/unpacking, pianos, hot tubs, pool tables, art, antiques, crating, storage, full-valuation coverage, shipment tracking
Payment: Credit card, cash, money order (deposit required)
📞 (303) 653-1486
2323 S Troy St, Building 2 Suite 105, Aurora, CO 80015 4.5 / 5 | 92% positive reviews | BBB Grade: A+
Yelp reviews | Google reviews | BBB profile
A 92% positive rate across 316 reviews puts A Simple Move near the top of this list. Customers call out fast, organized crews who communicate well and move efficiently — and comparisons to national brands come up often, rarely in the nationals' favor. They're local, they're accountable, and the scheduling process is straightforward.
The one thing I'd flag: damage claims can get frustrating, especially if you self-packed some boxes. Before booking, nail down the coverage terms and ask specifically what happens if something breaks.
DOT #: 2121225 | State License: 2121225 | In business: 14 years
Services: Local & interstate moves, packing/unpacking, pianos, hot tubs, pool tables, art, crating, storage, safes, full-valuation coverage
Payment: Credit card
📞 (303) 368-0700
7301 Montview Blvd, Denver, CO 80220 4.5 / 5 | 95% positive reviews | BBB Grade: A+
Yelp reviews | Google reviews | BBB profile
Moving Brothers has the highest satisfaction rate of the five — 95% positive across 358 reviews. No hidden fees, clean communication, and a lot of repeat customers. That last point tells you something: people who've moved once with them actually want to use them again.
The negatives are minor — occasional slower-than-expected service, a missed appointment here and there — but they're outliers in a mostly strong track record. Worth a quote.
DOT #: 2371440 | State License: 00376 | In business: 11 years
Services: Local, interstate & international moves, packing/unpacking, pianos, pool tables, art, antiques, crating, storage
Payment: Credit card

5455 Dahlia St Unit B, Commerce City, CO 80022 4.5 / 5 | 92% positive reviews | BBB Grade: A+
Yelp reviews | Google reviews | BBB profile
Skyline posts a 91.8% satisfaction rate across 318 reviews. Customers highlight efficient pacing, careful handling, and solid communication throughout. That's the trifecta most people want from a mover.
The one caveat: a handful of reviews mention insurance challenges when damage did occur — coverage that fell short or communication that went cold after the fact. If you have anything fragile or high-value, get the coverage terms spelled out before the crew shows up.
DOT #: 2840634 | State License: 00472 | In business: 9 years
Services: Local moves, packing/unpacking, offices, crating, storage
Payment: Credit card
📞 (970) 685-3942
7925 East Harvard Avenue, Denver, CO 80231 4.5 / 5 | 69% positive reviews | BBB Grade: A+
Yelp reviews | Google reviews | BBB profile
I'll be straight with you: 69% positive out of 67 reviews isn't where you want a mover to land. The sample's smaller, but 27% negative feedback is hard to talk around. On good days, customers describe friendly, efficient crews who handle things carefully. On bad days: damaged furniture, costs that came in higher than quoted, and follow-up that goes nowhere.
The A+ BBB grade helps. But I'd want a written estimate and a clear damage policy in hand before booking — more so than with the others on this list.
DOT #: 2518689 | State License: 00381 | In business: 11 years
Services: Local & interstate moves, packing/unpacking, pianos, offices, crating
Payment: Credit card

Here's a quick snapshot of specialty service availability across Aurora's 53 moving companies:
| Service | Available | % of Movers |
|---|---|---|
| Interstate moves | 44 | 83% |
| Small moves | 29 | 55% |
| Antiques | 27 | 51% |
| Art | 29 | 55% |
| Pianos | 38 | 72% |
| Fragile-only packing | 13 | 25% |
Here's the breakdown across service types, based on a 1,891-mile move.
| Move Size | Moving Company | Moving Container | Rental Truck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 BR | $1,168 – $4,523 | $1,119 – $2,501 | $1,096 – $1,909 |
| 2–3 Bedrooms | $3,100 – $6,877 | $1,841 – $3,698 | $1,096 – $2,487 |
| 4+ Bedrooms | $5,678 – $10,437 | $2,466 – $5,502 | $1,481 – $2,956 |
Estimates based on pricing data as of January 2026. Final costs vary by move size, services, access conditions, fuel rates, and scheduling. Always compare quotes from multiple movers before committing.
For a studio or one-bedroom, long-distance movers on this route run $1,168–$4,523. A two- or three-bedroom home lands in the $3,100–$6,877 range. A large four- or five-bedroom household: $5,678–$10,437.
Those are wide ranges, and they're wide for a reason. Some quotes bundle packing materials and labor; others don't. When you're comparing estimates side by side, make sure you're comparing the same scope of service.
Moving containers are worth a serious look on a route this long. You pack on your own schedule, the container ships, and you unload when it arrives. For a studio or one-bedroom, expect $1,119–$2,501. Two to three bedrooms: $1,841–$3,698. Four or more bedrooms: $2,466–$5,502.
At every size, containers come in cheaper than full-service movers. The trade-off is labor — you're doing the heavy lifting on both ends.
The lowest sticker price belongs to a rental truck, but it comes at a cost that doesn't show up on the invoice: you're driving 1,891 miles and handling all the loading yourself.
Studio or one-bedroom: $1,096–$1,909, fuel included in the estimate. Two to three bedrooms: $1,096–$2,487. Four-plus-bedroom: $1,481–$2,956.
If you're comfortable behind the wheel of a 26-footer across Kansas and Missouri, this is legitimately the budget play.

A few things worth thinking through:
Beyond hiring a mover and packing your boxes, a few logistics tend to catch people off guard:
A quick rundown for when the boxes are unpacked:
Museums
Parks
Sports Teams
Universities
Typically five to sixteen days, depending on the mover and the time of year. Summer moves run on the longer end because demand is high and schedules are packed. Before you book, ask your mover specifically about their delivery window for this route — don't assume they'll land on the fast end of that range.
Yes. Of the 53 Aurora movers we track, 37 offer custom crating — useful if you're shipping artwork, antiques, or anything that needs more protection than bubble wrap can provide. When you request a quote, ask about materials, lead time, and whether crating is billed separately.
Ship it. Driving your own car 1,891 miles while managing a moving truck — or following one — gets complicated fast. Use our car shipping calculator to estimate costs, or browse our picks for top auto transport companies to compare carriers.
Mostly weather and money. No state income tax, lower cost of living, and winters that don't require gear. For people who've hit a ceiling on Aurora's cost of living or simply want out of the snow, Florida is a logical next move.
Right here. See our roundup of the best long-distance movers that serve the Aurora area and handle interstate routes like this one.
Ten Aurora movers accept cash. That said, cash isn't the industry standard — most companies prefer credit card, ACH, or cashier's check because it creates a paper trail for both sides. Regardless of payment method, expect to put down a deposit to lock in your move date, with the balance due at pickup or delivery depending on the company. Confirm the payment timeline before you sign anything.
