Short-Term Storage Between Miami Moves

A place to park the household when your Miami dates refuse to meet

When a closing slips or a lease runs short, we hold your belongings and redeliver them once the new place opens — one Preferred crew, one flat quote, both legs covered. Se habla espanol.

I’m Danny Ferrer, owner of Preferred Moving Company. Miami move dates almost never cooperate. A Doral builder swears the keys will be ready Friday and delivers them a month later; a buyer nudges the closing back; a Brickell lease runs out before the next unit is habitable. Since 2011 I’ve spared families the ordeal of renting a unit themselves and shuttling a load across the metro to fill that gap.

One crew across the whole gap

We pull your things out of the old place, park them in our care, and bring them back the day the new door opens — same trucks, same faces at both ends. Rafael Ortega tracks every in-and-out date on the daily truck board, so nothing gets misplaced once the cartons are stacked away in storage.

Crew Rate When it applies
2 movers + truck $155/hr Loading in and out, smaller households
3 movers + truck $205/hr Larger households, faster turnaround

What a storage bridge runs

Scenario Flat rate
One-bedroom held about a month $320 – $435 plus the storage fee
Three-bedroom held about a month $690 – $940 plus the storage fee
Waiting out a 2-6 week lease gap Priced to your household size
Riding out a builder’s late closing Priced to your household size
Redelivery from our storage to the new door Billed at the usual hourly

Most storage bridges trace back to one of a few familiar Miami situations:

  • A Doral or Miami Lakes builder runs the closing past your move-out day
  • The buyer on your current home drags the paperwork out an extra week or two
  • A Brickell or Aventura lease expires before the next unit is move-in ready
  • A job relocation leaves you needing a spot to park the furniture for a while

Se habla espanol. Everything rides on one quote — you won’t juggle a truck invoice and a storage-facility statement landing on different days. Your cargo coverage of up to $1,000,000 per shipment stays in force every single day your belongings are in our building.

Why a fast-building metro leans on it

Doral, Miami Lakes, and the Homestead fringe never stop opening new subdivisions, and new construction is precisely where closing dates drift furthest. We’ve tucked away plenty of households for the couple of weeks a builder needed to wrap up. Renters between a Brickell or downtown lease turn to the same bridge when the next unit runs a week behind. Hurricane season gives some families one more reason — moving valuables into storage to sit out a storm.

Load-in and load-out on your dates

Delays don’t keep business hours, so both the load-in and the load-out run on evenings and weekends at the standard rate — no overtime line, ever. If a named storm kicks up near a delivery date, Rafael himself makes the reschedule call. Want it sealed before storage? Let our full-service packing team box it up first. When the new place opens, local moving covers the metro and long-distance moving takes it out of state. Add up the bridge on the moving calculator.

Built Into the Price, No Extra Charge

Every item below comes standard with the job — you’ll never see any of it turn up as a surprise line when the bill lands.

  • $155/hr for two or $205/hr for three, charged on the load-out and the return
  • The move and the storage bridge quoted together under one flat rate
  • Made for lease gaps and Doral or Miami Lakes construction slippage
  • A dispatcher keeping tabs on your storage-in and storage-out dates
  • Evening and weekend load-in and delivery at the plain standard rate
  • Cargo coverage up to $1,000,000 for every day we hold your things
  • Blankets, dollies, and shrink-wrap on both the outbound and return trip
  • No third-party facility for you to locate, lease, or drive across town to

“So quick & very careful! Shaun, Devonte and Marcus were amazing! Thank you so much!”

“Excellent experience all around. Used them because I saw someone else in the building use them. I did call other company's but I chose them for professional (from start and eventually finish), price (fair and included everything- very transparent), and hours of availability (lots). While we only had a few things to get rid of the experience was great.”

Common Questions

Are you a moving company?
Yes — Preferred Moving Company is a fully licensed and insured Miami, FL moving company running our own trucks and uniformed crew, with a Florida intrastate mover registration and US DOT and MC authority.
How long will you typically hold a household before redelivery?
Most bridges run two to six weeks, tied to a closing or a lease gap. If a Doral builder pushes well past that, Rafael sits down with you and works out extending the hold — no scramble.
Our Miami Lakes new-build closing slipped again — what now?
That's exactly what this is built for. Rafael stretches the storage window and keeps your load-out open. New-subdivision slippage is so routine down here that we simply plan the schedule around it.
Is the storage and the hauling billed together or separately?
Together, always. We wrap the hauling and the days in storage into a single number when you book, so no surprise warehouse bill turns up weeks later on some separate due date of its own.
Can I set up the storage bridge in Spanish?
Yes. Yesenia handles the whole arrangement in English or Spanish, and Rafael's crew is bilingual, so the in-and-out dates and pricing are clear in the language you use at home.
Does my cargo coverage stay active while my things sit in storage?
It stays on the whole time. The same per-shipment cargo coverage, reaching $1,000,000, carries straight through the storage stretch — there's no lapse between the driving legs and the days your load sits in our building.
