Augusta, GA → Hot Springs, AR · Long-distance move
About 748 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,760–$5,590, delivery in 2–5 days, 200 carriers on the Augusta side and 27 in Hot Springs.
Hot Springs sits about 748 miles west of Augusta, which makes this an interstate relocation from Georgia to Arkansas that most movers classify as a 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 $3,760 to $5,590 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 13 h 36 min.
On the Augusta side there are 200 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (127 of them authorized for interstate work), and 27 around Hot Springs (14 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 Hot Springs.
Augusta has a population of about 201,999 and Hot Springs about 38,000. Hot Springs is the denser city (1,010 people per square mile versus 668 in Augusta), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Arkansas than in Georgia, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 748 road miles (634 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 36 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Georgia into Arkansas 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 $1,070 to $1,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,690 to $2,480. 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 Augusta–Hot Springs corridor.
