Reverse: Richmond → Hollywood

Richmond sits about 956 miles north of Hollywood, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to Virginia 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 $4,670 to $6,950 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 17 h 11 min.

On the Hollywood side there are 2,315 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (807 of them authorized for interstate work), and 400 around Richmond (215 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 Richmond.

Hollywood has a population of about 157,019 and Richmond about 237,257. Hollywood is considerably denser (5,607 people per square mile versus 3,783), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Virginia does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Hollywood to Richmond?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,870 to $2,780 for a studio, $2,800 to $4,170 for a one-bedroom, $4,670 to $6,950 for a two-bedroom, $7,470 to $11,120 for a three-bedroom and $10,280 to $15,290 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Richmond from Hollywood?

About 956 road miles (810 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 11 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Florida into Virginia 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 Hollywood to Richmond?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,430 to $2,020 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,870 to $2,750. 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 Hollywood–Richmond corridor.
