Before You Call
- Have both addresses and floor levels handy.
- Note any piano, safe, or oversized pieces.
- Flag long or gated driveways and elevator buildings.

Storm season is no reason to wait. We schedule your load around Florida’s afternoon storms and hurricane windows rather than through them.
01 Good to know
Are you a moving company?
Yes - Long Distance Movers is a fully licensed and insured Ocala, FL moving company running our own trucks and uniformed crew, with US DOT and MC authority.
How much does a local move in Ocala cost?
Two movers and a truck start at $125 an hour, three movers at $165 an hour, with a one-hour minimum. We put the number in writing before the day.
What does a binding written quote mean?
It means we lock one price for your move based on your home, access, and inventory. The signed figure is what you pay, with no hourly clock and no end-of-day add-ons.
How much is the deposit to book?
A $95 deposit reserves your date and is credited toward the total. Quotes themselves are always free.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Long Distance Movers holds a Florida household-goods license plus US DOT and MC authority for interstate hauls, and every truck and crew on your job is our own. We will hand any HOA or building the proof of coverage they ask for.
Do you handle packing?
We do. Our crew can pack the whole home or just the fragile rooms with our own boxes and paper. Packing is added to your written quote so the cost is clear up front.
Can you store my things short-term?
Yes. When your closing dates fall out of sync, we hold your household in a secured Ocala facility, pad-wrapped and logged on a numbered inventory until you are ready for delivery.
How do you handle Florida storm and hurricane season?
We watch the forecast and set your loading window around the afternoon storms and hurricane threats, pausing for severe weather instead of working through it.
Do you move gated estates with long driveways?
Often. Ocala is horse country, so we stage the truck as close as the gate and drive allow and pad the longer carry to protect your furniture.
