St. Augustine, FL → Key West, FL · Regional long-distance move
About 436 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,210–$4,780, delivery in 1–3 days, 71 carriers on the St. Augustine side and 7 in Key West.
Key West sits about 436 miles south of St. Augustine, 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 $3,210 to $4,780 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 8 h 13 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 7 around Key West (2 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 Key West.
St. Augustine has a population of about 16,000 and Key West about 25,000. Key West is the denser city (4,723 people per square mile versus 1,505 in St. Augustine), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 436 road miles (369 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 13 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 St. Augustine and Key West 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 $600 to $840 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,410 to $2,070. 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.
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–Key West corridor.
