Moving from Tampa to Savannah is a regional long-distance move of roughly 342 road miles, heading north from Florida to Georgia.

At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $2,810 to $4,180 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 36 min.

On the Tampa side there are 1,059 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (368 of them authorized for interstate work), and 285 around Savannah (170 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Savannah.

Tampa has a population of about 413,554 and Savannah about 149,440. Tampa is considerably denser (3,377 people per square mile versus 1,384), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Georgia does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Tampa to Savannah?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,230 to $1,830 for a studio, $1,690 to $2,510 for a one-bedroom, $2,810 to $4,180 for a two-bedroom, $4,500 to $6,690 for a three-bedroom and $6,190 to $9,210 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Savannah from Tampa?

About 342 road miles (290 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 36 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Florida into Georgia makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Tampa to Savannah?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $500 to $710 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,330 to $1,950. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Tampa–Savannah corridor.
