Moving from Hampton to Jersey City is a regional long-distance move of roughly 331 road miles, heading northeast from Virginia to New Jersey.

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 $3,050 to $4,540 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 6 h 24 min.

On the Hampton side there are 157 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (88 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,933 around Jersey City (1,570 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 Jersey City.

Hampton has a population of about 137,315 and Jersey City about 302,013. Jersey City is the denser city (19,894 people per square mile versus 2,663 in Hampton), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Virginia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Hampton to Jersey City?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,350 to $2,010 for a studio, $1,830 to $2,720 for a one-bedroom, $3,050 to $4,540 for a two-bedroom, $4,880 to $7,260 for a three-bedroom and $6,710 to $9,980 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Jersey City from Hampton?

About 331 road miles (280 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 24 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Virginia into New Jersey 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Hampton to Jersey City?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $490 to $690 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,320 to $1,930. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Hampton–Jersey City corridor.
