Moving in Orlando isn’t what it used to be. The metro now sprawls from Lake Nona to Clermont, apartment complexes are tighter (and stricter) than ever, and I-4 traffic can turn a 20-mile move into a half-day ordeal if your crew doesn’t know the routes. The result: hiring the right moving company matters more than it did even five years ago.
We pulled together this guide to help Central Florida residents and business owners cut through the noise. Below are the seven best moving companies in Orlando in 2026 — ranked, reviewed, and compared by what they actually deliver: licensing, reputation, service mix, and value.
How We Ranked These Movers
Our methodology mirrors the criteria used by major moving authorities, including Extra Space Storage’s 2026 Orlando rankings. Each company below was evaluated on:
- Licensing & insurance — Active Florida DACS/USDOT registration and verifiable insurance.
- Customer reviews — Aggregate Google, Yelp, and BBB ratings, plus the patterns inside the negative reviews.
- Service mix — Local, long-distance (intrastate and interstate), apartment, commercial, packing, and storage.
- Local reputation — Years in Central Florida, familiarity with neighborhoods, and crew consistency.
- Value & pricing transparency — Flat-rate options, free quotes, and honest cost breakdowns.
A quick note on what we mean by “best”: no single mover is right for every job. A tight downtown apartment move and a 200-mile Tallahassee relocation call for very different operations. We’ve flagged which company shines in which scenario so you can match the mover to the move.
1. Just Move It — Best Overall for Intrastate Florida Moves
Rating: 4.8 on Google (270+ reviews), A+ BBB | Service Area: Central Florida + statewide intrastate
If your move stays inside Florida — from a one-bedroom apartment in Winter Park to a corporate office in Tampa — Just Move It is the company to beat in 2026. We’re a veteran-owned, licensed, and insured moving company based in Ocoee, FL, and we’ve built our reputation on doing the work other movers cut corners on.
Founded in 2016 by Marine Corps veteran Brian Green, Just Move It runs every job with military-grade structure: on-time crews, transparent flat-rate pricing for most jobs, no surprise add-ons, and full background checks on every mover. That discipline shows up in the reviews — over 200 five-star Google ratings and an A+ from the Better Business Bureau.
What makes us the #1 pick for intrastate Florida moves specifically:
- Local moving — Same-day, full-service moves across Orlando, Kissimmee, Lake Mary, Winter Garden, Clermont, and every Central Florida community in between.
- Long-distance moves within Florida — Whether you’re heading to Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, or the Panhandle, our crews stay with your shipment from pickup to delivery. No brokers. No subcontractors handing your belongings off mid-route.
- Apartment moving — Trained for tight stairwells, freight-elevator timeslots, gated-community check-ins, and the certificate-of-insurance paperwork most Orlando high-rises now require.
- Commercial moving — Office relocations, IT and server moves, retail buildouts, and small-business expansions scheduled around your operating hours.
Extra Space Storage included Just Move It among its top picks for best local Orlando movers in 2026, citing “personalized service” and deep familiarity with the Greater Orlando area. We also offer $0 down financing through Afterpay and provide a free estimate in under 24 hours.
Best for: Local moves, apartment moves, commercial moves, and any long-distance move that stays inside Florida.
2. Best USA Movers Orlando — Best for Out-of-State Long-Distance
Rating: 5.0 on Google (757+ reviews), A+ BBB | Service Area: Orlando + nationwide
Best USA Movers Orlando has 13 years in the Orlando market and an enviable wall of “Best of Orlando” plaques from 2016 through 2019, plus a 2025 Quality Business Award. They’re licensed under Florida Mover Lic #2719 and operate a fleet of 16- to 26-foot trucks out of L.B. McLeod Road.
Extra Space Storage names them the top long-distance pick for Orlando in 2026 — a fair call. Their long-distance team handles cross-country relocations with their own equipment (no broker handoffs), and they offer specialty services like piano moving, golf cart transport, and labor-only loading/unloading for renters using PODS or U-Haul. Retail packing supply bundles run from $149 to $399 if you’re packing yourself.
The trade-off: their pricing skews higher than purely local operators, which makes them an awkward fit for shorter intrastate jobs where a leaner Orlando crew can do the same work for less.
Best for: Long-distance moves leaving Florida, piano and specialty moves.
3. All My Sons Moving & Storage — Best National Brand in Orlando
Rating: 4.6 corporate average (32,000+ reviews) | Service Area: Orlando + nationwide
All My Sons Moving & Storage is a four-generation, family-owned national operator with deep coverage of the Orlando metro. They run a full-service playbook: local and long-distance moves, apartment and corporate relocations, climate-controlled storage at their Robinson Street facility, auto transport, and a junk-removal partnership with Junk.com.
Their scale is the selling point. With 30+ years of operating history, USDOT registration (#904955), and FL Mover Reg. #IM113, they’re a safe choice for moves that involve storage in transit, multi-state relocations, or corporate accounts that need standardized billing across branches.
The downside of national scale is that your move experience can vary by branch. Reviews are strong on average, but the 32,000-review aggregate is corporate-wide — not Orlando-specific. If you value a small local team that knows your apartment complex by name, the local independents on this list will feel more personal.
Best for: Corporate moves, moves requiring climate-controlled storage, families relocating across multiple states.
4. College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving — Best for Move + Junk Removal Combos
Rating: 4.9 on Google (10,900+ reviews), BBB A | Service Area: Orlando + 35 surrounding cities
College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving is a national franchise (FL License IM 2631) with a sharp Orlando location on Cyril Avenue. They’re best known for pairing moving with junk removal — a useful combo if you’re downsizing, clearing out an estate, or staging a home for sale.
Their numbers are hard to argue with: 10,000+ reviews at 4.9 stars, BBB-rated, and a stated 20+ years of brand history. They donate or recycle up to 70% of the junk they haul and contribute two meals to US Hunger per service — over 5 million meals served to date.
For pure moving jobs they’re a solid full-service option, but their hourly rates can run high compared to leaner local crews, especially on simple apartment moves. Where they really earn their fee is on combo jobs: pack, move, and haul-out in a single appointment.
Best for: Moves that involve clearing out junk, donation pickup, light demolition, or home staging.
5. Orlando Moving Company — Best for Personal Coordinator Service
Rating: 5-star Yelp widget (smaller sample) | Service Area: Orlando + South Florida
Orlando Moving Company is a Florida-registered local mover (Reg. #IM2586) based in Altamonte Springs. They assign every move a dedicated Relocation Coordinator — a real differentiator if you’ve ever lost track of a moving date because your “point of contact” was a different dispatcher every call.
They cover the Orlando metro plus stretches of South Florida (Miami, Palm Beach), and they advertise active promotions ($100 off local moves, $1,500 off long-distance) along with a “free estimate in under five minutes.” Services include residential, commercial, long-distance, and packing.
What they don’t publicly share is their years in business or aggregate review count, which makes due diligence a little harder. If you go this route, ask up front about insurance certificates, named drivers, and whether crew members are W-2 employees or day-labor hires.
Best for: Customers who want a single point of contact and clear coordination throughout the move.
6. The Local Movers — Best for Apartment and Small Moves
Rating: 5.0 on Google (59 reviews), Google Guaranteed | Service Area: Orlando + six Central Florida counties
The Local Movers is a smaller Central Florida outfit operating from downtown Orlando and Clermont. They carry the Google Guaranteed badge — a useful trust signal that Google has verified their licensing and insurance and will back the job up to $2,000 if something goes sideways.
Their core business is local residential, apartment, senior, and labor-only moves using 26-foot box trucks. Pad-wrapping, bed and table breakdown, and reassembly are included. Reviews consistently praise specific crew members and owner Ryan by name — a sign that the team is small and stable rather than a revolving crew of contractors.
The trade-off is depth of service: limited long-distance reach (mostly Central Florida counties) and a smaller fleet. For a downtown one-bedroom move or a senior relocation across the metro, they’re an excellent value.
Best for: Apartment moves, senior moves, and labor-only or loading-help jobs.
7. Legend Movers 4 You — Best for Same-Day and Last-Minute Moves
Rating: Google reviews on file (no aggregate published) | Service Area: Orlando + seven Central Florida counties
Legend Movers 4 You is a newer local independent based on Rose Boulevard in Orlando. They lean into the “we’ll be there today” niche: 24/7 availability, same-day and last-minute booking, and quick turnarounds for renters and landlords blindsided by a move-out date.
Their service mix is broad for a small operator — residential, commercial, piano and specialty furniture, loading/unloading for U-Haul and PODS, packing and wrapping, and short-term storage moves. They market upfront/transparent pricing and uniformed crews.
Because they’re newer, public reputation data is thin — no aggregate review score is published on their site. For non-urgent moves we’d recommend one of the more established operators above. For an emergency same-day job, though, they’re a useful contact to keep in your phone.
Best for: Same-day, last-minute, and short-notice moves.
How to Choose the Right Orlando Mover
A few practical filters that will save you time and money:
- Confirm Florida licensing. Every Florida mover must register with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Ask for the IM# and verify it. For interstate moves, the company needs a USDOT number on file with FMCSA.
- Read the reviews — but read the bad ones. A 4.9 average across 5,000 reviews is meaningful. A 5.0 across 12 reviews tells you almost nothing. Look for patterns in the one- to three-star reviews: damage, no-shows, surprise charges.
- Get an in-home (or video) estimate. Phone estimates are useful for ballpark, but for anything over a one-bedroom move, an in-home or video walkthrough produces a far more accurate quote.
- Understand the pricing model. Hourly works for short local moves. Flat-rate is usually better for long-distance or anything with stairs, elevators, or specialty items. Our guide on whether to hire packers for your Orlando move walks through the math.
- Match the mover to the job. A national franchise can be overkill for a studio apartment move. A two-truck local independent probably can’t handle a 100-employee office relocation.

The Bottom Line
Orlando has plenty of moving options in 2026 — but if your move is staying inside Florida, Just Move It is the clear #1 pick. We’re local, veteran-owned, licensed under USDOT and Florida DACS, and built specifically around the kind of intrastate work other movers treat as filler between cross-country jobs. From a Lake Nona apartment to a Tallahassee office relocation, our team handles the move start to finish — same crew, same truck, no broker handoffs.
