Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Florida
- Seasonal conditions
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and storms can close ports and disrupt highways along both coasts.
Seasonal residents typically arrive in late fall and return north in spring, which raises passenger-vehicle traffic on I-75 and I-95 during those months.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
