Moving from Los Angeles to Orlando, FL

Published 2026-06-19 · Best Movers LA editorial team

Orlando draws LA movers with Florida's no state income tax, year-round warmth, a tourism, tech and healthcare economy, and housing more affordable than coastal California — plus, of course, the theme-park lifestyle for families. This guide covers the distance, the cost, and what to plan for a smooth LA-to-Orlando move.

Why people move from LA to Orlando

Orlando draws LA movers with Florida's no state income tax, year-round warmth, a tourism, tech and healthcare economy, and housing more affordable than coastal California — plus, of course, the theme-park lifestyle for families.

Distance, cost and timeline

Los Angeles to Orlando is roughly 2,460 miles — a long-distance interstate move priced by weight and distance. As a rough guide, a one-bedroom typically runs in the low-to-mid four figures and a full house considerably more, with transit taking several days to about a week depending on the route. We give a binding written quote based on your actual inventory, so the price is locked before move day. The single biggest way to lower it is to declutter first — you pay to move weight.

What to know before you go

Florida has no state income tax, and Orlando housing is cheaper than coastal LA. Expect heat, humidity and hurricane season in summer. It's car-dependent and family-popular. Handle the Florida license and registration shortly after you move.

Where you'll live and what it costs in Orlando

Newcomers favor leafy Winter Park, master-planned Lake Nona (a medical and tech hub), Baldwin Park and the Dr. Phillips area near the parks. Beyond tourism, Orlando's economy spans tech, healthcare and aerospace. Florida's no state income tax, year-round warmth and housing cheaper than coastal LA make it especially popular with families — with summer heat, humidity and hurricane season to plan around.

Planning the move

Start 4–8 weeks ahead: get quotes, book the move, and prepare. We handle the LA side end to end — professional packing, a dedicated truck and crew, no freight consolidation — and arrange building COIs, parking permits and elevators on the LA end. If you're not driving your car, a car shipping service can transport it. See our long-distance moving options or get a free binding quote.
