Georgia and Florida share a border, a passion for college football, and plenty of humid summer afternoons, but relocating between them is still a true out-of-state move. Whether you're leaving metro Atlanta for Fort Lauderdale, trading Savannah's historic squares for the Tampa Bay waterfront, or heading from Augusta or Macon to Orlando, Solomon & Sons Relocation makes moving to Florida from Georgia organized, protected, and priced up front.
As a Florida-based long distance moving company headquartered in Dania Beach, we regularly travel the Georgia–Florida corridor, including full-service moves between South Florida and the Atlanta metro area. Our long distance movers know the routes, the timelines, and what it takes to settle in once you arrive.
Why So Many Georgians Are Moving to Florida
For many households, the numbers make the case. Florida has no state personal income tax, while Georgia taxes wages and retirement income above certain exclusions. Add Florida's year-round warmth, more than 1,300 miles of coastline, and expanding job markets in Miami, Tampa, and Orlando, and it's easy to see why the move south is so popular.
Georgia residents also tend to adjust quickly. You're already used to heat, humidity, and summer storms. The biggest changes are coastal living and the rhythm of hurricane season, and we're glad to share what we've learned as Floridians.
How Long Is the Drive from Georgia to Florida?
Distance depends on where you start and where you land. A move from Savannah to Jacksonville covers roughly 140 miles along I-95, while Atlanta to Miami stretches about 660 miles, most of it on I-75 and Florida's Turnpike. Shorter routes can often be completed in a day or two, while moves spanning the full length of both states take a bit longer. Your coordinator will confirm a clear delivery window before your truck ever leaves the driveway. If you're starting in the metro area, you can also learn more about our Atlanta movers.

What It Costs to Move from Georgia to Florida
Moving long distance is priced differently than a local job. Your cost depends on the weight of your shipment, the miles traveled, your move date, and any extras such as packing or storage. Summer months and the ends of each month are typically the busiest times to move. For a closer look at how pricing works, review our long distance moving cost guide.
As affordable long distance movers, we provide a detailed, written estimate with no hidden fees. Financing is available, and you can save when you bundle your home and vehicle into one move.
Settling In After Your Move to Florida
Once you arrive, a few quick tasks will make your new residency official:
- Exchange your Georgia driver's license for a Florida license within 30 days of establishing residency.
- Title and register your vehicles in Florida and update your auto insurance to meet state requirements.
- If you buy a home, apply for Florida's homestead exemption with your county property appraiser by March 1.
- Review hurricane preparedness and flood insurance options for your new address.
