Fort Myers sits about 1,330 miles south of Elgin, which makes this an interstate relocation from Illinois to Florida 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 $5,630 to $8,380 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 23 h 38 min.
On the Elgin side there are 404 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (329 of them authorized for interstate work), and 382 around Fort Myers (119 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 Fort Myers.
Elgin has a population of about 115,476 and Fort Myers about 101,581. Elgin is considerably denser (3,021 people per square mile versus 2,171), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.
