Alexandria, VA → High Point, NC · Regional long-distance move
About 298 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,680–$3,990, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,203 carriers on the Alexandria side and 274 in High Point.
High Point sits about 298 miles southwest of Alexandria, which makes this an interstate relocation from Virginia to North Carolina 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 $2,680 to $3,990 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 5 h 50 min.
On the Alexandria side there are 1,203 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (740 of them authorized for interstate work), and 274 around High Point (195 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 High Point.
Alexandria has a population of about 160,662 and High Point about 120,571. Alexandria is considerably denser (10,702 people per square mile versus 2,022), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in North Carolina than in Virginia, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 298 road miles (252 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 50 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Virginia into North Carolina 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $460 to $640 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,290 to $1,890. 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.
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 Alexandria–High Point corridor.
