Route guide
Moving from Chicago to Miami
Chicago to Miami is a classic move south: people trade Midwest winters for South Florida's warmth and beaches, and many are drawn by a state with no personal income tax. The drive covers about 1,380 miles through Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia before the long run down Florida, and our office in Des Plaines is close to where it starts.

Planning tips
Tips for your Chicago to Miami move
A few things worth planning early on this route.
- 01
Plan for life without a basement
Most South Florida homes don't have basements, so decide early where the contents of your Chicago basement will go, or whether to sell, donate or store them before the move.
- 02
Rethink the winter gear
Heavy coats, snow blowers and shovels get little use in Miami. Selling or donating them in Chicago trims your shipment, which is one of the main factors in your estimate.
- 03
Pack a warm-weather box
Miami is warm year-round, so pack a box of summer clothes, sunscreen and beach gear to open first, even if you leave Chicago in the middle of winter.
