The route from Birmingham, AL to Key West, FL covers roughly 813 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $3,990 to $5,940 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 14 h 43 min.
On the Birmingham side there are 395 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (208 of them authorized for interstate work), and 7 around Key West (2 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 Key West.
Birmingham has a population of about 195,893 and Key West about 25,000. Key West is the denser city (4,723 people per square mile versus 1,366 in Birmingham), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Florida is a higher-cost state than Alabama, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.
