Port St. Lucie, FL → Boca Raton, FL · Short-haul move
About 77 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,410–$2,090, delivery in 1–2 days, 271 carriers on the Port St. Lucie side and 743 in Boca Raton.
Boca Raton sits about 77 miles south of Port St. Lucie, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
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 2 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,410 and $2,090, before packing or storage.
On the Port St. Lucie side there are 271 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (104 of them authorized for interstate work), and 743 around Boca Raton (316 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 Boca Raton.
Port St. Lucie has a population of about 268,062 and Boca Raton about 101,582. Boca Raton is the denser city (3,336 people per square mile versus 1,719 in Port St. Lucie), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Port St. Lucie and Boca Raton 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 $230 to $320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,090 to $1,600. 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 Port St. Lucie–Boca Raton corridor.
