Tampa, FL → Davie, FL · Regional long-distance move
About 222 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,430–$3,610, delivery in 1–2 days, 1,059 carriers on the Tampa side and 1,589 in Davie.
Moving from Tampa to Davie is a regional long-distance move of roughly 222 road miles, heading southeast within Florida.
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 $2,430 to $3,610 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 32 min.
On the Tampa side there are 1,059 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (368 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,589 around Davie (600 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 Davie.
Tampa has a population of about 413,554 and Davie about 110,851. The two cities have comparable density (3,377 and 3,028 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,250 to $1,870 for a studio, $1,460 to $2,170 for a one-bedroom, $2,430 to $3,610 for a two-bedroom, $3,880 to $5,780 for a three-bedroom and $5,340 to $7,940 for four or more bedrooms.

About 222 road miles (188 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 32 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Tampa and Davie 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 $380 to $530 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,220 to $1,790. 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 Tampa–Davie corridor.
