Last-Minute Moving Services

 Last minute movers are moving professionals you can hire with little notice — sometimes same day or next day — to help with your move when time is limited. Instead of waiting days or weeks for full-service movers, last minute labor-only teams arrive at your home, ready to work. We’ve streamlined last-minute moving to make sure we can get our movers to rescue your move within hours of your call.  

At Undergrads, we specialize in affordable, rapid moving help for when you need it most. Whether you just found out your lease starts next week, your other moving company just cancelled, or you need help loading a rental truck or storage container ASAP, we’re here to make your move smooth and stress-free.

Things to Know About Living in Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville, Florida is the largest city by area in the contiguous United States, a place where the St. Johns River, the Atlantic coast, and a deep military and logistics heritage all converge. Known for its sprawling neighborhoods, three distinct beach towns, and a fast-growing metro of nearly 2.5 million people, Jacksonville offers a coastal-Southern lifestyle with serious economic muscle.

Economic Landscape
Jacksonville is one of the most diversified economies in the Southeast, anchored by financial services, healthcare, logistics, and the military. Major employers include Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, CSX Corporation (headquartered in JAX), Florida Blue/GuideWell, Fidelity National Financial, and Naval Air Station Jacksonville. JAXPORT is one of the busiest container ports on the East Coast, and the Jax Digital Hub continues to attract financial-tech talent downtown.

Cultural and Recreational Activities
The Jacksonville Riverwalk connects downtown’s restaurants, museums, and the Friendship Fountain along the St. Johns River. Sports fans pack EverBank Stadium for Jaguars games, and the annual Florida-Georgia rivalry is a citywide event. Outdoor lovers head to the Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens, kayak the Intracoastal, or spend weekends at Atlantic, Neptune, or Jacksonville Beach.

Education and Innovation
Jacksonville is home to the University of North Florida (UNF), Jacksonville University (JU), Edward Waters University — Florida’s first HBCU — and Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ), one of the largest community colleges in the state. The Jax Digital Hub and a growing fintech scene downtown fuel a steady stream of student movers and early-career professionals.

Neighborhoods and Living
Jacksonville’s neighborhoods range from historic and walkable to suburban and waterfront. Riverside and Avondale draw young professionals with bungalows, breweries, and shops along King Street. San Marco offers boutique retail and historic charm around San Marco Square. Springfield is the city’s revitalizing arts district. Mandarin and the St. Johns Town Center area suit families looking for newer suburban homes, while Atlantic, Neptune, and Jacksonville Beach offer coastal living minutes from Mayport.

Transportation
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) operates buses and the Skyway elevated monorail downtown, while Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) handles roughly 20 million passengers a year. Drivers should plan around I-95, I-10, the I-295 beltway, and JTB (FL-202), as well as the Hart, Fuller Warren, Mathews, Acosta, and Dames Point bridges, which back up quickly during morning and afternoon rush.

Conclusion
Jacksonville, FL, is a city where coastal living, affordability, and big-business opportunity come together. Whether you’re drawn by the beaches, the booming healthcare and finance sectors, or simply the room to spread out, Jacksonville has something for everyone — and Undergrads is here to make moving in (or around) the River City effortless.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have Questions? We Have Answers!

We charge a simple, flat hourly rate. Get your instant online quote to see the rate for your location and reservation date. The clock starts when the Undergrads arrive at your starting location and stops when your move is complete.

We have a 2-hour and 2-Undergrad minimum on all moves.

We DO NOT provide or drive the moving vehicle. Find a moving vehicle easily in your area using our truck finder, here. 

Undergrads provides the most valuable resource for any move: the muscle! Our strong and capable student movers will handle all the lifting, carrying, and loading/unloading you need.

Sometimes you need equipment! For specialized moving equipment (like dollies, hand trucks, moving blankets, etc.), we recommend customers rent these items directly from their truck rental provider (such as U-Haul). This ensures you have the exact equipment you need for your specific move, without any extra cost for items you might not use. It creates a more seamless experience, as you can pick up and return everything in one convenient location. We’re happy to advise on what equipment might be helpful for your move when you book with us.

We have a vast network of students covering a large majority of the United States. We operate in all surrounding areas within about an hour of our service locations. 

If you are a little outside of our service location, we can still do your move. We will just have to charge a slight fee to pass along to the movers for their time in transit.

We accept all major credit cards at the conclusion of your move. We do NOT accept cash or checks.

Yes, all Undergrads are university students!

Absolutely – we are licensed and insured!

We facilitate many commercial moves—ranging from student housing turns, turn furniture installation, and office furniture installation. Check out our commercial moving page for a better outline of our capabilities!

Jacksonville traffic gets heavy on I-95, I-10, the I-295 beltway, and JTB (FL-202), especially during rush hours (7–9 AM and 4–6 PM) when commuters cross the Hart, Fuller Warren, Mathews, and Acosta bridges between downtown, the Beaches, and the Southside. Plan your last-minute move for mid-morning or early afternoon if possible. Major events like Jaguars home games at EverBank Stadium, the annual Florida-Georgia football game, the Jacksonville Jazz Festival, and The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra can all create extra gridlock. For junk disposal, the City of Jacksonville offers monthly residential bulk pickup — schedule by calling Solid Waste at (904) 630-CITY (2489) or online via coj.net, and you can also drop off larger items at the Trail Ridge Landfill or North Regional Landfill. Jacksonville enforces curbside recycling rules, so be sure to separate recyclables from trash on move day. Florida summers bring heat indexes well above 100°F plus daily afternoon thunderstorms and hurricane-season downpours from June through November, so stay hydrated, watch the radar, and take frequent breaks.
Jacksonville does not require a general moving truck parking permit for most residential neighborhoods. However, in Downtown Jacksonville, Brooklyn, Riverside, San Marco, and the Five Points area, street parking is metered and tightly regulated, and many of Riverside’s historic blocks have narrow brick streets and rush-hour parking restrictions. If you need to temporarily occupy a metered space or travel lane, you may need to request a temporary meter hood or right-of-way permit from the City of Jacksonville Public Works Department — these can take 5–10 business days to process, which is important to plan for even on a last-minute move. For apartment moves in high-density areas like Riverside, San Marco, the Brooklyn district, or beachfront condos in Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra, always check with your property management about reserved loading zones, gate codes, and freight elevator scheduling — many oceanfront and downtown buildings require 24–48 hours’ advance notice.
