Reverse: Ketchikan → Palm Coast

Moving from Palm Coast to Ketchikan is a cross-country move of roughly 3,579 road miles, heading northwest from Florida to Alaska.

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 $10,150 to $15,100 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 62 hours (7 driving days).

On the Palm Coast side there are 66 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (28 of them authorized for interstate work), and 12 around Ketchikan (1 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 Ketchikan.

Palm Coast has a population of about 109,886 and Ketchikan about 8,000. Ketchikan is the denser city (2,147 people per square mile versus 936 in Palm Coast), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Alaska is a higher-cost state than Florida, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Palm Coast to Ketchikan?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $4,060 to $6,040 for a studio, $6,090 to $9,060 for a one-bedroom, $10,150 to $15,100 for a two-bedroom, $16,240 to $24,160 for a three-bedroom and $22,330 to $33,220 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Ketchikan from Palm Coast?

About 3,579 road miles (3,033 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 62 hours (7 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Alaska 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 Palm Coast to Ketchikan?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $4,880 to $6,890 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $4,210 to $6,200. 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 Palm Coast–Ketchikan corridor.
