If you're moving from El Paso to Florida, you're looking at roughly 1,767 miles — a serious long-distance move that crosses multiple states and can take anywhere from five to sixteen days depending on the carrier and season. This isn't a route you want to price from a single quote and call it done.
Below you'll find the top El Paso movers rated for this route, real cost ranges by home size, and a clear-eyed breakdown of what life in Florida actually costs compared to El Paso. Before you dig in, you can estimate your move right now to get a baseline.
Out of nine El Paso-based movers equipped for state-to-state moves, here are the three that stand out consistently for this route.
820 Kastrin St, El Paso, TX 79907 Rating: 4.52 / 5 | 75% positive | 23% negative
Yelp reviews | Google reviews | BBB: Grade A
State license: 006724534C | Years in business: 26 | DOT #: 902281
All My Sons earns its 4.5 rating on the back of fast, efficient crews that customers describe as genuinely professional — not just going-through-the-motions professional. Of 278 reviews, 75% are positive, with specific praise for careful handling and a calm, reassuring attitude throughout a process that's inherently stressful.
That said, the 23% negative rate isn't trivial. The recurring complaints are items damaged in transit, unexpected charges at delivery, and difficulty getting a satisfactory resolution after the fact. For a move this long, those billing surprises can sting hard. If you go with them, get every charge itemized in writing before anything gets loaded onto the truck.

9601 Railroad Drive, El Paso, TX 79924 Rating: 4.34 / 5 | 70% positive | 28% negative
Yelp reviews | Google reviews | BBB: Grade NR
State license: 0000007143 | Years in business: 110 | DOT #: 2897746
Coleman has been in the game for over a century — they operate under the Allied Van Lines network, which gives them real logistics reach for a cross-country route like this. Of 361 reviews, 70% are positive. Crews get consistent praise for being organized, communicative, and courteous throughout.
The issue is reliability on the back end. The 28% negative reviews concentrate on property damage, late deliveries, and difficulty reaching anyone for follow-up. On a long-distance move, you're handing your stuff over for days — that's exactly when accountability gaps hurt. Ask up front about their claims process and get a written delivery window before signing anything.

6500 Boeing Dr, Suite o400, El Paso, TX 79925 Rating: 4.26 / 5 | 97% positive | 3% negative
Yelp reviews | Google reviews | BBB: Grade F
State license: 008901942c | DOT #: 2527384
A 97% positive rate across 242 reviews is genuinely hard to argue with. Customers consistently flag speed, care, and friendliness — especially the way crews communicate throughout the move. The BBB Grade F is a real flag worth investigating before you book, particularly since it contrasts sharply with the customer review data. The complaints that do surface involve packing quality and billing surprises, which are the same categories that dog most movers in the long-distance bracket.

Here's a quick snapshot of specialty add-on services across El Paso's nine interstate-capable movers:
| Service | # of Movers | % Offering |
|---|---|---|
| Interstate | 9 | 100% |
| Small moves | 3 | 33% |
| Antiques | 3 | 33% |
| Art | 2 | 22% |
| Pianos | 3 | 33% |
| Fragile-only packing | 0 | 0% |
If you've got specialty items — piano, antiques, fine art — your options in El Paso narrow to roughly a third of the market. Factor that into your outreach early, not the week before moving day.
Based on this 1,767-mile route, here's what you're looking at across service types. These ranges reflect realistic spread from lower-end quotes to full-service premium pricing.
| Move size | Moving company | Moving container | Rental truck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $1,183 – $4,849 | $1,016 – $2,483 | $935 – $1,836 |
| 2–3 bedrooms | $2,969 – $6,723 | $1,794 – $3,742 | $1,023 – $2,298 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $5,590 – $10,059 | $2,575 – $4,924 | $1,289 – $2,702 |
Estimates based on pricing data as of January 2026. Final costs vary based on move size, access challenges, fuel rates, added services, and scheduling. Compare multiple quotes before committing.
For a studio or one-bedroom, you're looking at $1,183 to $4,849 with a full-service mover. A two- or three-bedroom home runs $2,969 to $6,723. Moving a larger house — four or five bedrooms — expect somewhere between $5,590 and $10,059.
That's a wide spread on the upper end, which is exactly why a single quote gives you almost no useful pricing information on a route this size. Get at least three.
Moving containers sit in the middle ground — you load at your own pace, the company handles transport. A studio or one-bedroom costs roughly $1,016 to $2,483. Two to three bedrooms run $1,794 to $3,742. A larger home comes in at $2,575 to $4,924.
If you're moving on a tighter budget and can handle the loading yourself, containers can save meaningful money on a route this long compared to hiring a full-service crew.
A rental truck is the cheapest option on paper — but you're also driving 1,767 miles, which is worth thinking hard about before signing the rental agreement. A studio or one-bedroom costs about $935 to $1,836, fuel included. Two to three bedrooms: $1,023 to $2,298. Four-plus bedrooms: $1,289 to $2,702.
The labor and the drive are on you. If your move is small and you're comfortable behind the wheel of a 26-footer for a multiday haul, it pencils out. Otherwise, containers often make more practical sense on this distance.
A few variables will move your quote up or down more than anything else:

Beyond booking movers and packing boxes, a few logistics items are easy to miss until they're a problem:
Once you're settled in, Florida gives you plenty to explore.
Typically five to sixteen days, depending on the carrier, scheduling, and time of year. Summer moves run longer — demand is higher and delivery windows get compressed. Before you book, ask any mover for a written delivery window, not a vague estimate. If they can't give you one, that's information.
Yes — two El Paso movers offer custom crating services, which is worth pursuing if you're shipping artwork, antiques, or fragile pieces over this distance. When requesting quotes, ask specifically about crate construction, interior padding materials, and lead times. Don't assume crating is standard — it often needs to be explicitly requested.
Ship it. Driving a second vehicle 1,767 miles adds days, fuel cost, and wear. Professional auto transport companies handle this route regularly and will protect your vehicle in transit. Use the car shipping calculator on MoveFinders to get a price estimate before you compare carriers. SafeShip Moving is one operator I'd put on your list to quote for long-distance auto transport on a Texas-to-Florida run.
Florida draws people primarily with its weather, coastal lifestyle, and a stronger job market. People leaving El Paso most often cite limited job opportunities and the relentless summer heat. Florida isn't without its own heat — and adds significant humidity on top — but the economic picture is generally stronger and the winters are considerably easier.
Our roundup of long-distance movers covers the top options for interstate moves, including operators that service the El Paso market. If keeping costs down is the priority, the cheap movers guide is worth a look alongside it.
Currently, no El Paso movers in our database accept cash payments. The industry has moved away from it — carriers prefer traceable payment methods and digital receipts. Most movers require a deposit to lock in your date, with the balance due at pickup or delivery depending on the company's policy. Ask about credit card, ACH transfer, or cashier's check options, and nail down exactly when each payment is due before you sign anything.
