OUR SERVICES

Los Angeles to Miami Moving Services

Whether it’s a residential condo in Brickell or a commercial office relocation to Wynwood, choosing the right cross-country movers determines how your move actually goes. This is a full coast-to-coast route — roughly 2,750 miles from Southern California to South Florida — and our coordinators handle the building access, COI requirements, elevator reservations, and delivery windows on both ends.

Need us to pack? Full service, partial, or just the fragile items — whatever fits your situation. We build custom crates for artwork, glass, TVs, antiques, and anything that can’t handle vibration across the country. If your move-out and move-in dates don’t align, we offer climate-controlled storage so nothing waits in the wrong place. Express and economy options let you choose the speed that works for your timeline.

WHY MIAMI

Pros of Moving from Los Angeles to Miami

✓

No State Income Tax — Immediate Savings Over California
California’s state income tax runs up to 13.3% for high earners. Florida charges zero. On a $150,000 salary, that’s easily $10,000 to $15,000 back in your pocket every year. This is the single biggest financial reason Californians are moving to Miami — and the savings start the day you establish residency.
✓

Housing Costs Are Lower — and You Get Waterfront Access
LA’s median home price sits above $900,000. Miami’s runs $600,000 to $700,000 — and the lower end of the market offers options that simply don’t exist in LA at the same price. Waterfront condos, bay views, and pool-equipped buildings are more accessible here than the equivalent beach proximity in Santa Monica or Venice.
✓

A Growing Finance, Tech, and Crypto Hub
Miami has become one of the fastest-growing cities for tech startups, fintech, crypto firms, and financial companies relocating from high-tax states. Venture capital is flowing in, and the professional landscape has shifted meaningfully in the past few years. If you’re building a business or looking for career growth outside the traditional LA/SF tech scene, Miami is where the momentum is.
✓

Year-Round Beach Living Without Wildfires or Earthquakes
Both cities have warm weather and beach culture, but Miami trades LA’s wildfire zones and earthquake risk for a tropical coastline. South Beach, Key Biscayne, and Sunny Isles offer year-round swimming, boating, and waterfront dining. If outdoor coastal living is your priority, Miami delivers it without the fire insurance premiums.
✓

A Global, Bilingual Culture With Latin American Roots
Miami is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the U.S., deeply influenced by Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe. The bilingual environment, the international food scene, and world-class events like Art Basel give it a character that’s unique in the country. LA has its own cultural depth, but Miami’s global atmosphere operates on a different wavelength.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Cons of Moving from Los Angeles to Miami

✗

Humidity Is a Different Kind of Heat
LA heat is dry. Miami heat is wet. June through October means daily highs in the low 90s with humidity that makes it feel well above 100°F — plus afternoon thunderstorms that roll through almost every day. If you’ve only known California’s dry warmth, Miami’s summer climate is a real adjustment. Air conditioning becomes your closest relationship.
✗

Hurricane Season Is a Real Factor
You’re trading earthquakes and wildfires for hurricanes. Miami sits on the Atlantic coast, and hurricane season runs June through November. Flood zone designations, hurricane shutters, and homeowners insurance that reflects the coastal exposure are all part of the equation. Insurance premiums in South Florida run well above the national average and have been increasing year over year.
✗

The Job Market Is Narrower Than LA’s
LA is one of the largest and most diverse job markets in the country — entertainment, tech, aerospace, healthcare, fashion, and more. Miami’s economy is growing fast but still narrower. Finance, real estate, hospitality, and international trade anchor the market. If your career is in entertainment, major tech, aerospace, or media production, LA offers depth that Miami doesn’t match yet.
✗

You’ll Need a Car — and Insurance Costs More
Both cities are car-dependent, so that part won’t feel new. But Florida auto insurance is noticeably more expensive than California’s — accident rates and statewide policies push premiums higher. Property insurance adds another layer. Factor these into your monthly budget when comparing cost of living beyond just rent and taxes.
✗

You’re 2,750 Miles From Everyone You Know in LA
This is a full cross-country move. Visits become flights, not drives. Miami to LA is a 5+ hour flight, and the time zone difference means you lose three hours heading west. If your social circle, family, or professional network is rooted in Southern California, the distance changes how often you see people. Direct flights are frequent, but it’s not the same as being a drive away.

PRICING

How Much Does It Cost to Move LA to Miami?

This is a full coast-to-coast move — roughly 2,750 miles — so pricing runs higher than regional relocations. The cost comes down to home size, packing needs, service level, and timing. Summer is peak season; fall and winter typically offer better rates and more flexible scheduling.

Plug your details into our online quote tool and you’ll get a flat-rate number back in minutes. No hidden fees — it’s all inclusive. The number we quote is the number you pay.

We offer both dedicated and shared truck options. A dedicated truck means your belongings travel alone — faster delivery, no extra stops. A shared truck splits space with another move heading the same direction, which brings the price down when your timeline is flexible. Express service with team drivers is also available for faster coast-to-coast delivery.

MOVE SIZE EST. COST
Studio $3,500 – $5,500
1 Bedroom $4,500 – $6,500
2 Bedroom $5,500 – $9,000
3 Bedroom $7,500 – $11,500
4 Bedroom $10,000 – $14,500
5+ Bedroom $13,000 – $19,000+

QUESTIONS

LA to Miami Questions Answered

Transit typically takes 4 to 7 days on a dedicated truck. Shared loads with flexible delivery windows can take up to 10 days. Express service with team drivers shortens the timeline further. Your coordinator confirms a delivery window before the truck leaves Los Angeles.

Yes. Poseidon Moving is fully licensed, bonded, and insured with an A+ BBB rating maintained for over a decade. We carry full liability coverage on every move and can provide proof of insurance documentation on request — including certificates of insurance for buildings that require them before move day.
Yes. On cross-country moves, it’s common for move-out and move-in dates not to line up perfectly. We hold everything in a secure, climate-controlled storage facility until your new place is ready. Every item is tagged and accounted for, and delivery is scheduled whenever you give the green light.
On a dedicated truck, yes — your belongings are the only shipment on board from pickup to delivery.

Booking Poseidon Moving services couldn't have been easier and the attention given couldn't have been topped. Oleg was a great communicator and we got plenty of emailed information on what to expect moving day and how to best prepare for it. On moving day, communication with the moving crew was clear and concise. The moving team was careful with our belongings and efficient moving things out and into our new place. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.
