Fredericksburg, VA → Virginia Beach, VA · Regional long-distance move
About 156 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,250–$3,350, delivery in 1–2 days, 152 carriers on the Fredericksburg side and 230 in Virginia Beach.
Moving from Fredericksburg to Virginia Beach is a regional long-distance move of roughly 156 road miles, heading southeast within Virginia.
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 $2,250 to $3,350 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 23 min.
On the Fredericksburg side there are 152 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (107 of them authorized for interstate work), and 230 around Virginia Beach (147 interstate). For an in-state 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 Virginia Beach.
Fredericksburg has a population of about 28,000 and Virginia Beach about 453,737. Fredericksburg is considerably denser (2,678 people per square mile versus 1,878), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 156 road miles (132 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 23 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both Fredericksburg and Virginia Beach are in Virginia, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $310 to $440 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,160 to $1,700. 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 Fredericksburg–Virginia Beach corridor.
