Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cheapest way to move to a Florida dorm?
Renting a cargo van or small truck from U-Haul is typically cheapest for a dorm room. For an off-campus apartment with furniture, Two Men and a Truck or College Hunks are competitive. Get 3 quotes — prices vary significantly.
Can I store items between semesters with a moving company?
Some movers offer student storage programs where they pick up at the end of the semester, store over summer, and deliver back in the fall. PODS containers left on campus or in a storage facility are another popular option.
Do colleges have restrictions on moving trucks?
Yes — most Florida universities restrict large moving trucks to specific areas and time windows. Check your university's housing office website for move-in day procedures well in advance, as violations can result in fines.
