Reverse: Annapolis → Key West

Moving from Key West to Annapolis is a long-distance move of roughly 1,229 road miles, heading north from Florida to Maryland.

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 $5,500 to $8,190 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 21 h 53 min.

On the Key West side there are 7 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (2 of them authorized for interstate work), and 199 around Annapolis (100 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 Annapolis.

Key West has a population of about 25,000 and Annapolis about 41,000. The two cities have comparable density (4,723 and 5,664 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Maryland is a higher-cost state than Florida, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Maryland does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Key West to Annapolis?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,200 to $3,270 for a studio, $3,300 to $4,910 for a one-bedroom, $5,500 to $8,190 for a two-bedroom, $8,800 to $13,100 for a three-bedroom and $12,100 to $18,010 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Annapolis from Key West?

About 1,229 road miles (1,042 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 53 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 Florida into Maryland 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 Key West to Annapolis?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,710 to $2,420 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,120 to $3,110. 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 Key West–Annapolis corridor.
