Newport, RI → Miramar, FL · Long-distance move
About 1,402 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,900–$8,780, delivery in 3–7 days, 30 carriers on the Newport side and 1,590 in Miramar.
The route from Newport, RI to Miramar, FL covers roughly 1,402 miles by road, a southwest-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $5,900 to $8,780 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 24 hours (3 driving days).
On the Newport side there are 30 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (17 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,590 around Miramar (526 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 Miramar.
Newport has a population of about 25,000 and Miramar about 142,570. Miramar is the denser city (4,662 people per square mile versus 3,287 in Newport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,402 road miles (1,188 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 hours (3 driving days).
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 Rhode Island 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,040 to $2,880 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,270 to $3,340. 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 Newport–Miramar corridor.
