Naples, FL → Fort Lauderdale, FL · Short-haul move
About 121 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,060–$3,060, delivery in 1–2 days, 130 carriers on the Naples side and 1,841 in Fort Lauderdale.
Moving from Naples to Fort Lauderdale is a short-haul move of roughly 121 road miles, heading east within Florida.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 47 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,060 and $3,060, before packing or storage.
On the Naples side there are 130 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (39 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,841 around Fort Lauderdale (706 interstate). For an in-state 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 Lauderdale.
Naples has a population of about 20,000 and Fort Lauderdale about 188,677. Fort Lauderdale is the denser city (5,282 people per square mile versus 1,554 in Naples), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 121 road miles (102 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 47 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both Naples and Fort Lauderdale are in Florida, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $270 to $390 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,130 to $1,660. 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 Naples–Fort Lauderdale corridor.
