Moving from Provo, UT to Saint George, UT
About 281 miles inside Utah. Past the 100-mile local band movers price on distance and weight, but because the truck never crosses a state line the move is regulated by Utah, not by the federal FMCSA. That changes which licence to check and which estimate rules protect you.

In short
Moving from Provo, UT to Saint George, UT covers about 281 miles and is a move within Utah. Full-service movers cost $1,265 – $1,686 for a two-bedroom home in our model, delivered in 1 to 3 days. About 1,387 people a year move between the two counties (Census).
The route
A short interstate haul: 281 miles, about 5 hours of driving. Long enough to be priced on weight, short enough that most carriers run it on a dedicated truck rather than pooling your goods with other shipments — a two-bedroom home typically runs $1,265 – $1,686. That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

How these figures are calculated
At the Saint George end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Saint George: Big Bens Moving and Storage LLC (Saint George, 6 trucks), Dixie Moving & Storage (Washington, 5 trucks), Legacy Moving (Saint George, 3 trucks), A&S Quality Moving Co (Saint George, 2 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Both ends are in Utah, so Utah rather than the FMCSA regulates the move: ask the mover which Utah licence or registration it holds and check it with the state. The federal 110% cap on non-binding estimates does not reach a move inside Utah, so your protection on this 281-mile job is the estimate you sign; ask for it binding or not-to-exceed. More in binding vs non-binding estimates.
Before you book Provo to Saint George
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 281 miles some carriers still quote hourly plus mileage rather than by weight. Get both numbers so you can compare like with like — hourly can win on a short haul with easy access at both ends.
Confirm it is a one-day run
Most carriers cover this distance in a single day, which avoids an overnight charge and a second crew. If a quote assumes two days, ask why.
Arriving in Saint George
A local move inside Saint George later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $495 – $817 for a two-bedroom home and $831 – $1,506 for three bedrooms.

Provo to Saint George moving FAQ
How much does it cost to move from Provo to Saint George?
From our published model, full-service movers over about 281 miles cost about $948 – $1,265 for a studio, $1,265 – $1,686 for a two-bedroom home and $1,454 – $1,939 for a three-bedroom home, transport only; packing, storage and specialty items are extra.
How long does a move from Provo to Saint George take?
The drive is about 5 hours, but the move usually takes 1 to 3 days because it moves on a dedicated truck, because the corridor is too short to be worth consolidating. Ask for the delivery window in writing. Book ahead: 2 to 4 weeks, 4 to 6 in summer.

Loading a freight trailer yourself: about $607 – $809 for a two-bedroom home, against $1,265 – $1,686 with full-service movers; a moving container is $910 – $1,214.
Is Provo to Saint George an interstate move?
No. Both cities are in Utah, so the move is regulated by Utah rather than by the federal FMCSA. The carrier needs a USDOT number and whatever Utah requires of household-goods movers; interstate authority (an MC number) is not required for this job. The federal 110% rule on non-binding estimates does not apply either, which is a good reason to ask for a binding estimate.
