Florida-Specific Tips

  • Always use climate-controlled storage in Florida — standard units reach 130°F+ in summer, damaging electronics, wood furniture, and artwork
  • PODS and similar portable containers can be stored at your location, giving you ongoing access
  • Confirm the delivery fee for final re-delivery — some companies charge a second full delivery fee

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need climate-controlled storage in Florida?
Yes — almost always. Florida's humidity and heat cause mold, warping, and damage to wood furniture, electronics, artwork, and fabric items in as little as 2–4 weeks in a standard non-climate-controlled unit.
How long can movers store my belongings?
Most movers offer short-term storage (30–90 days) as part of a move. For longer storage, independent climate-controlled facilities are usually more cost-effective. PODS containers can be kept indefinitely.
Is my stuff insured while in storage?
Check your moving contract — most mover warehouse storage includes coverage at the same valuation option you selected for the move. If you're self-storing, verify whether your homeowners/renters insurance covers items in storage, or purchase a standalone policy.
