Reverse: St. Augustine → Independence

Moving from Independence to St. Augustine is a long-distance move of roughly 1,151 road miles, heading southeast from Missouri to Florida.

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 $4,900 to $7,290 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 20 h 33 min.

On the Independence side there are 214 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (159 of them authorized for interstate work), and 71 around St. Augustine (35 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 St. Augustine.

Independence has a population of about 121,675 and St. Augustine about 16,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,577 and 1,505 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Florida is a higher-cost state than Missouri, 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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Independence to St. Augustine?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,960 to $2,910 for a studio, $2,940 to $4,370 for a one-bedroom, $4,900 to $7,290 for a two-bedroom, $7,840 to $11,660 for a three-bedroom and $10,770 to $16,030 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is St. Augustine from Independence?

About 1,151 road miles (975 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 33 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Missouri into Florida 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Independence to St. Augustine?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,630 to $2,300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,050 to $3,010. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Independence–St. Augustine corridor.
