Reverse: Hampton → Akron

Hampton sits about 466 miles southeast of Akron, which makes this an interstate relocation from Ohio to Virginia that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.

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 $3,260 to $4,850 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 8 h 44 min.

On the Akron side there are 349 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (215 of them authorized for interstate work), and 157 around Hampton (88 interstate). For an interstate 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 Hampton.

Akron has a population of about 189,691 and Hampton about 137,315. The two cities have comparable density (3,077 and 2,663 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Virginia is a higher-cost state than Ohio, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Akron to Hampton?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,300 to $1,940 for a studio, $1,960 to $2,910 for a one-bedroom, $3,260 to $4,850 for a two-bedroom, $5,220 to $7,760 for a three-bedroom and $7,170 to $10,670 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Hampton from Akron?

About 466 road miles (395 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 44 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Ohio into Virginia makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Akron to Hampton?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $780 to $1,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,440 to $2,110. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Akron–Hampton corridor.
