Moving from Miami to Dallas is one of the bigger jumps South Floridians make, and one of the most rewarding on the budget side. Texas has no state income tax, just like Florida, so your take-home stays intact. Housing costs less, the metro is adding jobs and residents faster than almost anywhere in the country, and your dollar simply covers more.
At 1,315 miles, this is a serious long-distance move, which makes the crew you choose matter more, not less.
At Pro Movers Miami, we handle the whole route ourselves. No brokers, no handing your things to an unknown crew halfway across the country. Your belongings load onto our truck in Miami and are delivered to your Dallas address by our own team.
Miami to Dallas: What You’re Looking At
The Miami to Dallas drive runs about 1,315 miles, mostly along I-10 West through the Gulf states, roughly a 19 to 20-hour trip without stops. For a loaded moving truck with legal driving hours and rest built in, plan on a two to three-day delivery window.
Dallas sits in Dallas County and anchors the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, home to about 8.1 million people and the fourth-largest metro in the nation. Texas has led the country in inbound moves, and the DFW area is a big reason why, drawing corporate relocations and families chasing more space for the money.
Why People Are Leaving Miami for Dallas
The cost gap is significant. By Numbeo’s 2026 comparison, it takes roughly $8,600 in Miami to match the standard of living that about $7,000 supports in Dallas once rent is included. Housing is the main driver, with Dallas home prices and rents landing well under Miami’s.
No state income tax. Texas keeps the same paycheck advantage you have in Florida, so you are not trading tax savings for lower housing costs. You get both.
A corporate job magnet. The metroplex is headquarters to more than 20 Fortune 500 companies, including American Airlines, Texas Instruments, and McKesson, with steady relocations bringing new employers in. Finance, tech, logistics, and healthcare all run deep here.
What a Miami to Dallas Move Costs with Pro Movers
We keep pricing clear and upfront. Here is what to expect for a long-distance move from Miami to Dallas, based on home size:
| Home Size | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| 1–2 Bedrooms | $2,500 – $5,000 |
| 3–4 Bedrooms | $4,500 – $9,000+ |
These come from our long-distance pricing. On a haul this long, most moves sit toward the higher end of each range, since price is based on weight and mileage. Your final quote depends on total weight, exact inventory, and any add-on services. You get a guaranteed flat price before moving day, with no surprises at delivery.
Current offer: $100 off any long-distance move plus 1 month of free storage.
