Thank you, Old Florida Moving LLC, for the outstanding service! The movers were professional, efficient, and took great care with everything. Alex, the owner, personally showed up and managed the entire moving process, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. It felt great supporting a family-owned company instead of a large corporate operation. The best part is that Alex is an actual mover who works alongside his team, not just someone behind a desk. I highly recommend Old Florida Moving LLC to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and personalized moving service.

We hired Alex and his crew at Old Florida Moving to move my grandmother from Gainesville to Crystal River, and they did an amazing job. My grandmother was especially worried about her antique vanity that means so much to her, but they handled it with incredible care and professionalism. Alex personally came out to the job with his crew, and you could tell they truly cared. Everything arrived safely, and the whole move was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Old Florida Moving!

Moving In or Out of Gainesville?

Gainesville is the largest city in North Central Florida and home to the University of Florida — one of the nation’s top public universities with over 50,000 students. From historic neighborhoods like Duckpond and Pleasant Street to student housing around campus and family communities in Haile Plantation and Town of Tioga, Gainesville is a city in constant motion.

That motion means moving: every August and May, thousands of students, faculty, and staff relocate in and out of the city. Add UF Health’s massive medical campus, a booming tech corridor, and steady family growth, and Gainesville is one of Florida’s busiest moving markets.

Old Florida Moving runs Gainesville moves constantly — student apartments, faculty relocations, family homes, and moves between Gainesville and the Nature Coast communities we call home. Owner-led, honest pricing, and crews trained to handle tight apartment stairwells and full households alike.

Surrounded by natural treasures like Paynes Prairie, Devil’s Millhopper, and dozens of springs, Gainesville blends big-city amenities with wild Florida at its doorstep.

Gainesville sits at I-75 and US 441, with SR 26 and SR 24 connecting west to the Nature Coast. Archer Road, Newberry Road, and NW 43rd Street are the main commercial corridors.

Alachua County Public Schools serves the city, alongside the University of Florida, Santa Fe College, and numerous private and charter schools.

College-town energy, live oaks, springs, and a thriving food and arts scene. Gainesville is young, green, and always moving.

The University of Florida and UF Health dominate the economy, joined by tech startups, biotech, and a large service sector.

FAQ — Moving in Gainesville, FL


How much does it cost to hire movers in Gainesville, FL?
Our local rates start at $175/hr for 2 movers and $195/hr for 3 movers, with a 3-hour minimum. Many jobs work out better as a flat rate, which we’re happy to quote. Every move is different — call (352) 740-3423 for a free, honest estimate based on your actual job.
Do you offer flat rate moving quotes?
Yes. A lot of the time a flat rate works out better for the customer than hourly, because you know the total price up front with no clock running. Tell us what you’re moving and we’ll quote it both ways so you can pick whichever is better for you.
Do you move people from Gainesville to other parts of Florida?
Yes. Old Florida Moving is fully licensed for intrastate moves anywhere within the State of Florida — Gainesville, Ocala, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and everywhere between.
How far in advance should I book movers in Gainesville?
Book 2–3 weeks ahead for local moves and 4–6 weeks for larger intrastate moves. Peak season is May through August, when availability fills fastest. We also take last-minute and same-day moves when our schedule allows.
Are you licensed and insured to move in Florida?
Yes — fully licensed and insured. We hold Florida Intrastate Mover license FL IM #4165 and USDOT #4542234. You can verify both numbers with the State of Florida and the FMCSA, and you should check that for any mover you consider.
Do you offer last minute or same-day moving in Gainesville?
Yes — last minute and same-day moves are one of our specialties. Availability depends on our schedule, so call (352) 740-3423 as early as you can and we’ll do our best to fit you in.
What is your valuation / liability coverage?
Our moves include Released Value Protection at $0.60 per pound per article — the standard coverage required by Florida law for intrastate movers. This is not insurance. For full replacement value coverage, we recommend purchasing a separate moving insurance policy from a third-party provider before your move date. We’re happy to talk through your options.
