Moving from Fort Myers to Santa Cruz is a cross-country move of roughly 2,887 road miles, heading northwest from Florida to California.
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 $9,140 to $13,600 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 50 hours (6 driving days).
On the Fort Myers side there are 382 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (119 of them authorized for interstate work), and 27 around Santa Cruz (6 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 Santa Cruz.
Fort Myers has a population of about 101,581 and Santa Cruz about 62,000. Santa Cruz is the denser city (4,942 people per square mile versus 2,171 in Fort Myers), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Florida, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that California does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
