Moving from Cape Coral to Pembroke Pines is a short-haul move of roughly 131 road miles, heading southeast within Florida.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 58 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,090 and $3,110, before packing or storage.
On the Cape Coral side there are 331 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (97 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,479 around Pembroke Pines (829 interstate). For an in-state 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 Pembroke Pines.
Cape Coral has a population of about 236,264 and Pembroke Pines about 176,714. Pembroke Pines is the denser city (5,235 people per square mile versus 1,830 in Cape Coral), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 131 road miles (111 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 58 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
No. Because both Cape Coral and Pembroke Pines are in Florida, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $280 to $400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,140 to $1,670. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Cape Coral–Pembroke Pines corridor.
