Miami, FL → Annapolis, MD · Long-distance move
About 1,105 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,180–$7,700, delivery in 3–7 days, 2,024 carriers on the Miami side and 199 in Annapolis.
Annapolis sits about 1,105 miles north of Miami, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to Maryland 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 $5,180 to $7,700 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 19 h 45 min.
On the Miami side there are 2,024 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (627 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.
Miami has a population of about 489,812 and Annapolis about 41,000. Miami is considerably denser (12,284 people per square mile versus 5,664), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. 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.

About 1,105 road miles (937 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 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 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,590 to $2,240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,010 to $2,950. 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 Miami–Annapolis corridor.
