Arlington, VA → Concord, NH · Regional long-distance move
About 492 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,570–$5,310, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,290 carriers on the Arlington side and 52 in Concord.
The route from Arlington, VA to Concord, NH covers roughly 492 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the regional 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 $3,570 to $5,310 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 9 h 11 min.
On the Arlington side there are 1,290 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (809 of them authorized for interstate work), and 52 around Concord (40 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 Concord.
Arlington has a population of about 240,000 and Concord about 45,000. Arlington is considerably denser (9,180 people per square mile versus 688), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. New Hampshire levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 492 road miles (417 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 11 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 New Hampshire 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 $810 to $1,140 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,460 to $2,150. 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 Arlington–Concord corridor.
