Reverse: Cedar Rapids → St. Augustine

Cedar Rapids sits about 1,197 miles northwest of St. Augustine, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to Iowa that most movers classify as a 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 $4,980 to $7,410 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 21 h 20 min.

On the St. Augustine side there are 71 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (35 of them authorized for interstate work), and 96 around Cedar Rapids (57 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 Cedar Rapids.

St. Augustine has a population of about 16,000 and Cedar Rapids about 137,935. The two cities have comparable density (1,505 and 1,910 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Iowa than in Florida, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Iowa does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from St. Augustine to Cedar Rapids?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,990 to $2,970 for a studio, $2,990 to $4,450 for a one-bedroom, $4,980 to $7,410 for a two-bedroom, $7,970 to $11,860 for a three-bedroom and $10,960 to $16,310 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Cedar Rapids from St. Augustine?

About 1,197 road miles (1,014 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 20 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Iowa 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 St. Augustine to Cedar Rapids?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,680 to $2,370 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,090 to $3,070. 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 St. Augustine–Cedar Rapids corridor.
