Moving from Renton to Miami Gardens is a cross-country move of roughly 3,199 road miles, heading east from Washington to Florida.
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 $9,270 to $13,790 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 55 hours (7 driving days).
On the Renton side there are 614 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (288 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,734 around Miami Gardens (574 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 Miami Gardens.
Renton has a population of about 104,975 and Miami Gardens about 113,579. Miami Gardens is the denser city (6,134 people per square mile versus 4,544 in Renton), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Florida than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 3,199 road miles (2,711 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 55 hours (7 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from Washington 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 $4,490 to $6,330 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,880 to $5,700. 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 Renton–Miami Gardens corridor.
