Orlando movers publish their crew rates in the open, so this page collects what companies working Orange and Brevard counties post for a two, three or four-person crew, what finished local jobs run, and the state figures behind them. None of it is a quote from anyone.

Six boxes, about thirty seconds. You pick when to be called back, and that is when the phone rings.
Or call (321) 463-9055Every mover or moving broker handling an intrastate Florida household move pays $300 a year to register with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the assigned registration number has to appear on the written estimate and the contract.
The statute also requires the mover's name and registration number in lettering at least one and a half inches high on the driver's side of the truck, so the number on the paperwork can be matched to the vehicle in the driveway.
The May 2025 median for the 24,080 people doing this work across Orlando, Kissimmee and Sanford. A truck, fuel, pads, insurance and dispatch sit on top of that wage before an hour becomes billable.
Every range below is what companies working in Orlando publish for that job, gathered from the numbered price pages under the table. It spans what several of them show, so the figures move with the specifics of the property and with who does the work. Nothing here is a quote, and no business has set a price on this page. A real number comes from whoever looks at the job.
| The job | Range seen | Billed as | What moves it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two movers and a truck, by the hour | $120–$1801234 | per hour, truck and fuel included | Weekend and month-end slots sit at the ceiling. Card payment adds a posted processing percentage at several companies. |
| Three movers and a truck, by the hour | $150–$2701234 | per hour, truck and fuel included | The third mover usually shortens the job enough to cost less overall than two movers on a full house. |
| Two-person labor crew, household supplies the truck | $90–$150567 | per hour, no vehicle | Loading a rental truck or a container. Cheaper by the hour, but the driving, fuel and tolls fall on the household. |
| The posted minimum, before a single box is carried | $180–$405357 | two to three hour minimum, crew of two | Almost every Orlando company bills a floor. A one-hour job is charged as two or three hours. |
| Studio or one-bedroom apartment, across town | $340–$750248 | finished job, two movers | Elevator buildings and a long walk from the loading zone to the door are what push a small load upward. |
| Two-bedroom apartment or small house, under thirty miles | $725–$1,100348 | finished job, two or three movers, four to five hours | Second-floor walk-ups at both ends add an hour or more of carrying that nothing in the inventory predicts. |
| Three-bedroom house, local | $1,200–$2,200248 | finished job, three or four movers, six to eight hours | A garage, an attic and a shed are the three rooms nobody counts, and each one adds crew hours. |
Prices each of these companies publishes on its own site, read on the date shown in each listing. A published price can change without notice, so treat a number here as what was posted rather than what you will be told today.
A local Orlando move is sold by the hour. The hourly figure is easy to compare between companies; the number of hours is not, and the hours are what the bill multiplies. Stairs, the walk from the truck, how boxed the household is, and crew size decide them.
Then there are the extras that are not in the hourly figure at all. Several Orlando companies bill a minimum of two or three hours whatever happens, at least one posts that the clock keeps running on the drive back to the shop, and card payments carry a stated processing percentage. Together those put the floor on a very small job closer to four hundred dollars than to the hourly figure that drew the call.
Florida does not cap what a mover may charge for an intrastate move. What it regulates is who may do the work and what the paperwork has to say. Under Fla. Stat. 507.03 a mover or moving broker registers with the state for $300 a year, and the assigned registration number must appear on the estimate and on the contract. Fla. Stat. 507.07 puts that same number on the driver's side of the truck in lettering at least an inch and a half tall, and prices non-compliance at a civil penalty of up to $5,000.
That is a consumer tool disguised as a paperwork rule: the number on the written estimate should match the number on the truck that shows up. Withholding delivery after payment of what the estimate states is prohibited conduct, which matters here because so much Orlando work is inbound long-distance freight.
Freight and material movers across the Orlando, Kissimmee and Sanford metro had a median wage of $18.57 an hour in May 2025, according to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025 release, across 24,080 people. A two-person crew and a truck at $150 an hour is paying roughly $37 of that to wages. The rest covers the truck, fuel, pads and dollies, workers' compensation, cargo protection, dispatch, and unbilled travel to the job.
Orlando adds a demand problem on top. Orange County grew nearly seven percent between the 2020 census and July 2025, and that churn concentrates at the end of the month, when crew availability rather than the rate card is what tightens.
A usable Orlando estimate states the crew size, the hourly rate for that exact crew size, the billing minimum, when the clock starts and stops, and whether travel to or from the shop is chargeable. It says whether truck, fuel, tolls, pads and shrink wrap are inside the rate. It names the valuation: released value at sixty cents a pound is not insurance, and full value protection costs extra.
Published job totals assume ground-floor access at both ends, a driveway that fits a twenty-six-foot truck and a boxed household. They exclude packing materials, furniture disassembly, a storage layover between closings, a second stop, appliance disconnection and elevator reservations. On a long-distance load they also exclude the shuttle charge when a full-size trailer cannot reach the door, which in older neighborhoods with narrow streets and heavy tree canopy happens often.
Get a date, a crew sized to the actual access at both ends, and a written estimate carrying a Florida mover registration number before anything is carried out the door. Have the room count, the oversized pieces and the building's move-in packet ready and the booking takes minutes.
