How long is the drive from Key Largo to Key West?

1.5–4.5 hrs each way, via US-1, the Overseas Highway, before season traffic. We quote the honest figure rather than the optimistic one, because the schedule for the day depends on it.

How far ahead should we book?

A week is comfortable for most collections. May and October fill up across the whole of South Florida, and a building with a bookable loading dock will usually need more notice than a house.

Does the property travel with anyone else's?

No. Your load is not consolidated with another client's, and there are no other collections on the same run.

Can we follow the vehicle?

Yes. Clients regularly drive down behind us and watch the property go into the vault. Nobody has ever been told no.

Do you charge by distance?

Distance is part of it, along with the size of the load and how long the collection itself takes. You get a figure before the day, not after.

Collections from Key Largo to Key West

One road in and one road out, for a hundred and thirteen miles, with forty-two bridges and no alternative if any of them closes. That single fact governs everything: we do not run the Keys with a loaded vehicle when weather is building, and a Key West collection is scheduled with a spare day around it. It is also why Keys residents vault property on the mainland in the first place.

How this route runs

The drive

Time each way: 1.5–4.5 hrs
Road: US-1, the Overseas Highway
Destination: 3562 N. Ocean Blvd., Fort Lauderdale — Galt Ocean Mile
Stops en route: None. The vehicle is not left unattended at any point.

Before the day

Tell us roughly what is moving. A list helps; it is not required to book.
For a building, we need the management contact — most want a certificate of insurance filed in advance.
For a gated community, arrange the gate authorisation. A vehicle turned away wastes the morning.
For an estate, have the documented authority to hand before we arrive.
Allow time for the inventory. It is the part that protects you and the part people rush.

Nearby routes

45–75 min

Brickell & Downtown Miami

High-rise collections, which means the loading dock and the service elevator decide the schedule rather than the traffic. Most Brickell towers require a certificate of insurance filed with building management days in advance and will only release the service lift in a booked window — we handle that paperwork, but it is why a Brickell collection is booked a week out and a house is not.

60–90 min

Key Biscayne

One causeway on and off the island, with a toll and a single point of failure. When a storm is forecast the Rickenbacker is exactly where everyone is at once, so Key Biscayne is the one market where we insist on booking well ahead of a cone rather than during it.

50–80 min

Coconut Grove

A mix of waterfront estates and 1920s houses, several of them with art collections that have never been condition-reported. The Grove sits low, and clients here move things out ahead of the season more often than anywhere else in Miami-Dade.
