Reverse: Phoenix → St. Augustine

Phoenix sits about 2,147 miles west of St. Augustine, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to Arizona that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $7,020 to $10,450 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 37 hours (5 driving days).

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 1,433 around Phoenix (623 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 Phoenix.

St. Augustine has a population of about 16,000 and Phoenix about 1.7 million. Phoenix is the denser city (3,105 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. Note that Arizona does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Tips for this move

Ship the car separately if you plan to fly; auto transport is priced by the mile like household goods.
Confirm which items the mover will not carry (plants, perishables, propane, some batteries).
Expect a delivery spread of one to two weeks; plan temporary housing in Phoenix accordingly.
Compare a full-service van line against a container service; for a small household the container often wins.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,810 to $4,180 for a studio, $4,210 to $6,270 for a one-bedroom, $7,020 to $10,450 for a two-bedroom, $11,240 to $16,720 for a three-bedroom and $15,450 to $22,980 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Phoenix from St. Augustine?

About 2,147 road miles (1,820 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 37 hours (5 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Arizona 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 Phoenix?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,960 to $4,170 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,940 to $4,320. 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–Phoenix corridor.
