Arlington, VA → Greenwich, CT · Regional long-distance move
About 279 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,800–$4,170, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,290 carriers on the Arlington side and 347 in Greenwich.
Greenwich sits about 279 miles northeast of Arlington, which makes this an interstate relocation from Virginia to Connecticut 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 $2,800 to $4,170 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 31 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 347 around Greenwich (159 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 Greenwich.
Arlington has a population of about 240,000 and Greenwich about 63,000. Greenwich is the denser city (13,118 people per square mile versus 9,180 in Arlington), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 279 road miles (236 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 31 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 Connecticut 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 $440 to $620 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,270 to $1,870. 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–Greenwich corridor.
