Fort Lauderdale to Miami

Miami sits just 30 miles south down I-95, a 45-minute run our own crew drives end to end. Broward families slide down the county line for a Brickell condo, a Coral Gables house, or a shorter commute to a Miami office.

Short drive, real building rules

The 30 miles is the easy part. A Brickell or Edgewater high-rise wants a Certificate of Insurance and a freight-elevator window booked days ahead, and that is what shapes the day.

Grand pianos to Miami towers

Long-distance piano transport is our flagship. We board the grand on a piano board in Fort Lauderdale, strap it for the I-95 run, and carry it up to the Miami high-rise ourselves — the same crew, no broker handoff.

Thirty miles down I-95 is nothing. The COI for the Brickell tower and the freight elevator are what make the day, and our crew owns both ends. — Dominic Russo, owner

Flat-rate brackets

Straight numbers off real runs

Every bracket below traces back to real Fort Lauderdale, FL → Miami, FL hauls our own Fort Lauderdale drivers have run. Three things decide where your figure lands: the date on the calendar (peak-season and snowbird weeks run higher than a quiet stretch), whether the truck can pull in close at both ends or has to work a high-rise loading dock and freight elevator on a booked COI, and who handles the packing — our crew or you.

Fort Lauderdale, FL → Miami, FL FAQs

What to settle before this run

How long does the Fort Lauderdale to Miami move take?
The drive is 30 miles and about 0.75 hours south on I-95. The hands-on side usually fills part of a day, with your home's size and any high-rise freight-elevator window doing most of the shaping.
Can you move a grand piano down to a Miami high-rise?
Yes, that is our specialty. We board the grand on a piano board in Fort Lauderdale, strap it for the short I-95 run, and our own piano specialist carries it up to the Miami tower without a scratch. Piano work is what the company was built on since 2011.
Is one of your crews behind the wheel, or does someone else finish the run?
The same crew that loads you drives the whole 30 miles. We title the truck and the movers are on our payroll under FDACS IM3142, USDOT authority, and MC authority, so the people who pack your Fort Lauderdale home are the people who set it down in Miami. Your load never gets handed to a outside carrier.
Do you charge a single flat figure for the lane?
Yes — one written flat figure covers the entire Fort Lauderdale-to-Miami run. Thirty miles barely separates it from our in-town pricing, and the freight-elevator window and the drive are already inside the number you sign rather than tacked on after the truck is packed.

The guys showed up on time. Got the work done for the proposed cost. We're very friendly and professional the entire time. The price was very good compared to renting a truck and doing the work myself. Would highly recommend.

Door to door, one upfront figure

Give us the destination and the date it has to make, then watch the price come straight off the road miles your load really covers — north on I-95, west on I-75, or up the Turnpike — never a one-size-fits-all guess.
