Daytona Beach, FL → Newark, NJ · Long-distance move
About 1,047 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,140–$7,650, delivery in 3–7 days, 88 carriers on the Daytona Beach side and 2,782 in Newark.
Newark sits about 1,047 miles northeast of Daytona Beach, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to New Jersey that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $5,140 to $7,650 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 18 h 45 min.
On the Daytona Beach side there are 88 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (41 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,782 around Newark (1,591 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 Newark.
Daytona Beach has a population of about 75,000 and Newark about 323,808. Newark is the denser city (12,927 people per square mile versus 1,078 in Daytona Beach), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Florida, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that New Jersey does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,047 road miles (887 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 45 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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.
Yes. Crossing from Florida into New Jersey makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,530 to $2,150 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,950 to $2,870. 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 Daytona Beach–Newark corridor.
