Orlando may be the land of magic and theme parks, but when it’s time to move homes or offices, things can get real fast. Between the scorching heat, busy roadways, and the endless boxes piling up in your hallway, a summer move in Central Florida can feel less like an adventure and more like a never-ending juggling act.
That’s where choosing the right moving company comes in—and it can make all the difference between a stress-filled day and a smooth, organized transition.
Let’s dive into what every Orlando resident (or soon-to-be) should know before trusting a moving company with your life in boxes.
Start With the Stars—Read Those Reviews
Whether you’re in Winter Park, Conway, or Lake Nona, one thing’s universal: Orlando locals talk. And when it comes to hiring movers, the internet is your best friend.
Before making a single phone call, do a little digital digging:
-
Head to Google, Yelp, and Facebook.
-
Look for a mover with consistently high ratings.
-
Don’t just read the 5-stars—see how they respond to issues. A company that cares will show it in how they handle hiccups.
Spoiler alert: A Mother’s Touch Movers has hundreds of glowing reviews—but don’t take our word for it. Go see for yourself.
Listen to Their Voice (Literally)
Ever call a company and instantly get put off by how they answer the phone? Yeah, us too. A great moving company should make a great first impression—not just online, but over the phone too.
So when you’re narrowing down your options:
-
Call and ask questions.
-
Pay attention to how they respond—do they sound knowledgeable? Polite? Confident?
-
Trust your instincts. If it feels shady over the phone, it’s not going to feel better on moving day.
Bonus points if their website looks modern, easy to navigate, and clearly explains their services. That’s often a sign of a professional, established team.
Understand the Estimate (and Watch for Hidden Fees)
Let’s be real: nobody likes surprise charges. Moving already costs enough without getting hit with unexpected fees at the finish line.
Here’s how to avoid that:
-
Ask for a detailed estimate upfront.
-
Be cautious of vague fees like “service charges” or “supply add-ons.”
-
Never pay too much upfront. Reputable movers typically ask for a small deposit or payment at delivery—not the full amount before the truck even arrives.

Know the Going Rate in Orlando
On average, a local move in the Orlando area might range from $1,800 to $2,500, depending on how much you’re moving, how far you’re going, and whether you’re tackling a high-rise in downtown or a driveway in Dr. Phillips.
Longer-distance moves? You’re likely looking at $4,000+, depending on mileage and load.
Remember: cheap isn’t always better. The guy with a pickup truck and no insurance might save you a few bucks—until something breaks or disappears.
License, Bonded, and Insured—Oh My!
Would you trust an unlicensed pilot to fly a plane? Hopefully not. So why trust unlicensed movers with your valuables?
Here’s what to ask:
-
Are you licensed in Florida?
-
Are you bonded and insured?
-
Can I see proof of credentials?
Reputable movers will have all of the above, and they won’t hesitate to show it. You can also double-check through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which regulates moving companies in the state.
Pro tip: A Mother’s Touch Movers is licensed, bonded, and insured—and has the experience to prove it.
