"I have had a great experience with American Van Lines. Starting with my first call to Ciara the moving consultant who was prompt to return my calls, efficient, and patient while we worked through our changing moving list. To our fantastic movers, Ronald, Jonas, and Alex who were pleasant, courteous, worked hard, and took care of our items on both ends of the move. Could not be more pleased with these four employees and the experience I received with American Van Lines. With that said, I did not appreciate the experience I received from one employee, Shabrina, in the Quality Assurance department. She was rude, cut me off during several conversations, took days to return my call and simply was not pleasant to deal with."

Transparent Pricing You Can Trust

Moving should come with momentum, not mystery charges. That’s why we build your quote with real numbers, not rough guesses. Our flat-rate pricing means no upcharges, no surprises, and no second-guessing. Just one clear number, so you can budget smart and move confidently.

Tips for Moving From Florida to Ohio

Research your new community early. Before moving day, take time to explore neighborhoods, schools, and local services in Ohio. Knowing where the grocery store, DMV, or nearest coffee shop is will help you settle in faster.
Create a moving week checklist. Draft a week-of checklist with reminders like emptying the fridge, updating your address, and prepping essentials for your first night.
Set aside a “first night” box. Pack a clearly labeled box or bin with everything you’ll need right away — think toiletries, chargers, a change of clothes, snacks, pet supplies, and basic kitchenware.
Take photos before disassembling furniture or electronics. Snap a few quick photos before unplugging wires or breaking down big items. It’ll make reassembling your setup in Ohio way easier.
Don’t forget to transfer medical records and prescriptions. If you're switching doctors or pharmacies, request records in advance so you’re not scrambling to find care in a new place.
