Salt Lake City, UT → Provo, UT · Local move
About 47 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,260–$1,870, delivery in 0–1 days, 531 carriers on the Salt Lake City side and 113 in Provo.
Provo sits about 47 miles south of Salt Lake City, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a local 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 1 h 28 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,260 and $1,870, before packing or storage.
On the Salt Lake City side there are 531 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (306 of them authorized for interstate work), and 113 around Provo (65 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 Provo.
Salt Lake City has a population of about 218,428 and Provo about 114,527. Provo is the denser city (2,762 people per square mile versus 1,811 in Salt Lake City), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 47 road miles (40 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 28 min.
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 Salt Lake City and Provo are in Utah, 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 $200 to $280 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,060 to $1,560. 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 Salt Lake City–Provo corridor.
