St. Paul, MN → Key West, FL · Cross-country move
About 1,823 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,530–$9,720, delivery in 5–10 days, 1,099 carriers on the St. Paul side and 7 in Key West.
The route from St. Paul, MN to Key West, FL covers roughly 1,823 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.
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 $6,530 to $9,720 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 32 hours (4 driving days).
On the St. Paul side there are 1,099 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (499 of them authorized for interstate work), and 7 around Key West (2 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 Key West.
St. Paul has a population of about 306,684 and Key West about 25,000. The two cities have comparable density (5,991 and 4,723 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,823 road miles (1,545 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 32 hours (4 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from Minnesota 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 $2,620 to $3,700 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,650 to $3,890. 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. Paul–Key West corridor.
