Alexandria, VA → Hollywood, FL · Long-distance move
About 1,064 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,950–$7,360, delivery in 3–7 days, 1,203 carriers on the Alexandria side and 2,315 in Hollywood.
The route from Alexandria, VA to Hollywood, FL covers roughly 1,064 miles by road, a south-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $4,950 to $7,360 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 19 h 3 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 2,315 around Hollywood (807 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 Hollywood.
Alexandria has a population of about 160,662 and Hollywood about 157,019. Alexandria is considerably denser (10,702 people per square mile versus 5,607), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,064 road miles (902 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 3 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Florida 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 $1,540 to $2,180 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,970 to $2,900. 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–Hollywood corridor.
