Port St. Lucie, FL → St. Augustine, FL · Regional long-distance move
About 223 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,430–$3,620, delivery in 1–2 days, 271 carriers on the Port St. Lucie side and 71 in St. Augustine.
St. Augustine sits about 223 miles north of Port St. Lucie, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional 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 $2,430 to $3,620 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 33 min.
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 71 around St. Augustine (35 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 St. Augustine.
Port St. Lucie has a population of about 268,062 and St. Augustine about 16,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,719 and 1,505 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 223 road miles (189 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 33 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 Port St. Lucie and St. Augustine 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 $380 to $530 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,220 to $1,790. 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–St. Augustine corridor.
