What a Tampa to Boca Raton move looks like when one company handles the whole run.
The run from our Tampa yard to Boca Raton is 232 miles, Florida’s Turnpike south, then I-95. Your load goes on one truck and comes off that same truck, so nothing is handed to a partner carrier at a terminal along the way.
More Boca Raton addresses than not sit inside a gated community or an association with a fixed move-in window, a registered vehicle list and a cut-off time in the evening. We confirm those rules with the association before the truck is loaded, because arriving at a gate without clearance costs you a day.
We scope inventory and access at the Tampa end and the Boca Raton end before you commit, so the figure agreed in Tampa is the figure at delivery. See our long distance moving service for how the wider service works.

The run is Florida's Turnpike south, then across to I-95 for the last few miles. The Turnpike is tolled for essentially the entire length and billed by axle, so a loaded moving truck carries a materially higher toll than a passenger car doing the same drive. We build that into the quote rather than presenting it afterwards. The alternative through Alligator Alley is longer for a Boca Raton address and rarely worth it.
Boca West and Broken Sound
Gated country club communities. Guard registration, a vehicle list and permitted working hours are all set by the association.
Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club
Waterfront estates with strict contractor access rules and a short daily window for work vehicles.
Woodfield Country Club and The Oaks
Gated family communities operating fixed HOA move-in windows, often excluding weekends.
Old Floresta and Boca Villas
Older single-family near downtown with mature trees and narrower streets than the newer developments.
Mizner Park and downtown
Mid-rise condo with a shared loading dock that has to be booked, usually in two-hour blocks.
Boca Bath and Tennis, Les Jardins
Gated, with vehicles registered in advance and no unscheduled access at the gate.
Three stages, one company, from the Tampa address to the Boca Raton address.
Tampa to Boca Raton is an intrastate move. Both ends are in Florida, so it runs under Chapter 507 of the Florida Statutes and FDACS registration rather than the federal interstate framework that applies to a move across a state line. For you that means one company handling the whole job and a firm delivery date instead of a window. Where a move does leave Florida we operate under USDOT 4219169 and MC 1766953.
Volume
How much is actually travelling, which on a second-home or partial move is often far less than the whole house.
Access at both ends
Stairs, elevators, long carries from a parking area and whether a full-size truck can get to the door.
Packing
Whether you pack yourself or we pack for you, and how much fragile or oversized material is involved.
Specialty items
Pianos, safes, gun safes, oversized glass and anything needing a crate or extra hands.
Timing
Peak season, month end and weekend dates carry different availability from a midweek move.
Storage
Whether there is a gap between your Tampa move-out and your Boca Raton move-in.
